You need to use the same profile to open the OST as the profile that initially created the OST. OST's are closely related to the profile and won't open with a different one.

I have an user who lost some calendar information. He was using an OST file. I've tried recovering that OST file from the Friday backup tape, to see if I could find his data. However, I can't open the darn thing. When I try to open the file off-line, I either get the message Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The Exchange Server has detected that you are using an old copy of your OST file. Please delete your OST file and create a new one from the server. OR Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The information store could not be opened. I have tried deleting the old OST and putting this one in it's place, and granted the user full control over the file, no luck. Is there any way to read what is in this evil old OST file? Thanks in advance for any help. Exchange 5.5 SP4, Outlook 98. NT 4.0 SP6a.
