Outlook reminders not working

[Josh]

Ok, I've got a really interesting problem here. The reminders for my
calendar stopped working a while back.

I'm in a corporate environment, and hooked up to exchange. I'm running
Outlook 2000. Here's some more details. When I make an appointment in my
calendar and set the reminder, it doesn't show up. However if I am using
outlook web access the reminders work fine. This leads me to believe it's
not an issue with the exchange server.

I've also deleted the exchange server profile, created a personal folder and
set appointments in the calendar, and the reminders work fine. So for some
reason, the reminders do not work only when I'm using outlook and my
exchange mailbox.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
josh

Hope this helps,

My company just change exchange servers. Even though the users had to change
to the new server, they didn't (and their mail worked fine). Once I remapped
to the new exchange server (Exchange 2003), task and calendar reminders
worked again.

Otherwise, try this below. Symptoms

Since some days I no longer get reminders of my meetings (for instance) in
my Calendar. It did work before.

Solution

Step1 - Check if all reminders flags are 'Turn on'.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options.
Click Reminder Options.
Select the Display the reminder check box.

Step2 - Reminders are Turn On but reminders are not displayed when the event
comes due.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Preferences tab, deselect (uncheck) the Default Reminder check box
and then click Apply.
Redo the operation by selecting (checking) the same Default Reminder box
and click Apply.


Your reminders should work now.
