Vault Cache causes Outlook 2007 to crash and restart repeatedly

Hi All,

Not sure if anyone has experienced this problem, however I have a client who is currently on EV 8 SP1, with EV 8 Sp1 outlook add-in. The user experiencing the problem uses Windows 7 with Outlook 2007 and a whole lot of other add-ins (Typical Developer). Anyways when VC begins to synchronize the initial goes well, however as soon as it starts to download from the cache location, outlook crashes and restarts. Client trace in full mode not showing any unusual errors that I can see, and nothing in the user app logs, except for event id 1000. Thus far, I have disabled all non relevant add-ins, repaired office 2007, reset evclient, cleared vault cache and rebuilt as well as deleted the vault cache folder from the user's windows profile and rebuilt to no avail. As soon as the VC starts to download outlook bombs out.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks
YellowFever

Hi YellowFever, I've not got

Hi YellowFever,

I've not got round to installing Windows 7 yet so can't really advise, but maybe this has a bearing on the issue?  The only thing I can suggest is to do a search for the .MDC file (which is part of VC) and see if there is a permissions issue?  Another thing to check is the Desktop Policy settings for Vault Cache;

Auto download pause - (increase to 120 seconds)
Download delay - (60 seconds)

Probably won't help YF but that's all I got :(

Thanks,
BZ

Try .................... Two

Try ....................

Two things that I'd tried.

a) Remove all the other add-ins.
b) Upgrade to the 8 SP 3 client.

I've been using Outlook 2007 SP 2 with Windows 7 x86 for MONTHS with vault cache, and have not had any issues.  (even though it's not officially certified, yet)

Hope that helps,

 

Thanks

Hi Guys, Thanks for you

Hi Guys,

Thanks for you thoughts around this. Have tried to disble the remaining add ins to no avail. I will try upgrading to 8 SP3 and see what happens. If that fails maybe I will have to log a support call for this. Weird thing is that only users are affected here. one running Windows 7 and one running Windows XP.

Thanks again for all your efforts, much appreciated.

Regards
YF

Was this eventually resolved?

Was this issue ever resolved?  I have one user who experiencing the same thing.  We've looked at 302477
and 300277 and neither helped.  Preparing to open a support call.

Hey, Rob.   No slightly

Hey, Rob.   No slightly different.  Was taking a shot it might be the same resolution.  It's a Vista SP2 client.  Our server is running EV 7.5 SP3, the client is now running the same version of the extensions.  (Waiting for 8.0 SP4 to upgrade...)

Any insight would be appreciated.  I'm trying to get a client trace together.

More info

Also... The problem is intermittent.  We have not been able to reproduce it reliably.  User originally reported the problem while using Store in Vault.  Comptuer originally not using cached mode - so does not appear that the OST is corrupt.  Put the computer in cached mode and that does not resolve the problem.  So my best bet is to set up a dtrace and hope it happens again soon.

The best thing for you to do

The best thing for you to do is download and install the debugging tools for Windows, from Microsoft's web site.  Once installed on a system where this error is known to appear run something along these lines :-

cscript adplus.vbs -crash -pn outlook.exe -quiet -o c:\dumpfiles

This will capture a user mode process dump if Outlook crashes, which is a lot more useful than the event id 1000 listed above.  If you capture one I'd be more than happy to take a glance at it for first ideas.

Hope that helps,
