Exchange not Syncing Calendar with Entourage

Hi All,

A recent problem with my Entourage client. Been using it with company Exchange server for some time without fault, calendar and e-mail syncing fine. Recently noticed that events now created locally in Entourage are not being replicated back to Exchange. I don't want to clear my Entourage cache as I'll lose all of my entries which are only held on Entourage. I'm not getting any Sync errors. Any thoughts on how I can debug this problem further?

Thanks.

I've seen this before but it is fairly difficult to figure out what part
of the "chain" is actually failing.
Most of the time, disabling then re-enabling sync fixes the issue.

If nothing else works then clearing the cache may be the only answer.

You can select the "All Events" Calendar View to select everything you
want to preserve, drag those into a folder in the Finder and then clear
the cache.

Putting back what doesn't sync won't be an elegant approach but in this
case some manual effort may be the better choice.

If you have any recurring events then take this time to set an end date.
Having a recurring event that literally goes on forever is more
difficult to manage when times/dates change.

Hope this helps!
