Syncing with 2 Outlooks does not work correctly

[chh]

Hi,

I implemented the NE of Zimbra at a customer.
Some of the Useres have laptops and desktops with Outlook running.
The Desktops are member of a Windows domain, the Laptops are not.

Their mail, calendar and contacts were imported from the laptops with the PST import wizard. Worked well.
Then we synced with Outlook on the new desktop, still everything fine.
Then I installed the Outlook connector on the laptop and started to sync.
Mails worked fine, but calendar and contacts stay empty.

Is the reason for this that the laptops are not in the domain and therefor totally different users (like here http://www.zimbra.com/forums/outlook...correctly.html)?

Any chance of getting the contacts and calendar in without adding the laptops to the domain?

Thanks in advance.

as long as the right users are configured in the profile and the laptop has network access to the zimbra server, you should be fine. i have multiple outlook instances in different domains pointing to the same zimbra server and it works fine.
your problem sounds like the calendar and contacts did not get imported properly. you could probably very that by creating a new profile on the same desktop that has the contacts and calendar items, then when you sync that profile, see if those items show up. that would be an easy way to eliminate the domain variable from this problem.

Well, I have these problems with 2 people there and as they have a mail volume of 3-4GB each I would not like to resync very often.

But the contacts and calendar were definately imported into Zimbra.

i'm guessing that you are confident that the contacts and calendar items have been imported because you see them in the web client?
please turn on logging with http trace enabled and get us those logs. unfortunately, logs for an initial sync would probably be the most useful.

Yes the contacts are visible in the web client, and in the other Outlook that synced fine.

I will see when I have the next chance to get a hand on the laptop.
