Start outlook in offline mode - it shouldn't try to connect and therefore won't find out/know about the server side rules.
Look at & export the rules. Reconnect on online mode, select 'keep server'. Look at & export those rules. Decide what you want to keep. Oh, I've never tried this, but I *think* it'll work. <G> -----Original Message----- From: Chakravarty, Sakti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 March 2003 05:26 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Rules Wizard Client/Server rules Hi all, I am looking for a way to export Rules in Outlook. I need to amend a rule on a particular mailbox hosted on an Exchange 5.5 SP4 Server. When I open Rules Wizard (with Outlook 2000 SR-1), I am prompted to make a selection between keeping the Client or Server rules on the machine (Q287640). Since I did not set up this mailbox, I do not know what rules have been created, and am apprehensive about losing rules I do not know about. It is an administrative mailbox with a rule to email reports to particular recipients, and therefore I suspect that I should select to keep the Server-side rules (I understand that Client-side rules require the client to be running). Articles I have seen that suggest using the Rules Wizard Export feature do not help, as I cannot get past the select Server / Client prompt to use the Export feature. This is the case in Outlook 2000 and 2002. I attempted to use EXMERGE to try and get the messages and rules out to PST, but saw no rules in the exported version. (Have also seen many articles discussing the dubious nature of this feature.) Any help appreciated, Thanks Sakti _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
