Any way to repair corrupt ost files for all users


Question

We had an issue with the exchange server(2010) and now all users cant 
 
receive email in outlook 2010 but they can send mail. Email works fine 
 
via owa. There appears to be an issue with the users ost files.
If we recreate the ost file then all works just fine. Is there anyway to 
 
do this for all of the users without having to go visit each computer?

create a batch file that deletes the ost file upon logon.  outlook will then recreate the ost file.

 

del %userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook\*.ost

try this
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\scanost.exe

 

 

Quicker to rebuild the OST and download all the emails from the server.  OST scans take forever and useless since all the emails can be retrieved from the server.  PST files..different

This is probably going to be the fastest suggestion.

Yeah I wouldn't bother with OST repair at all as that data is synced to the server. PST is a different story however. I would just delete them all as sc302 said.
