The Microsoft Outlook usually gets problems with Out of Office. I got several problems in the company I’m working in, that users cannot open Out of Office and when trying to start it, the Outlook is blocking. Really terrible problem and users are getting quite nervous, when trying to start Out of Office. The problem is simple and solved quite easily. The way is to follow the procedure:
1. Open Start and then click on Run
2. Write regedit in the box, which appear
3. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER and then go to Software – Microsoft – Office.
4. Delete the folder registry 11.0 (if using MIcrosoft Office 2003) or 12.0 (if using MIcrosoft Office 2007)
5. Start Outlook again.
It should start as first run and should get setting again.

Quite important and useful are the switches of Microsoft Office Outlook. I learned for them from administrators of E-mail Server of the company I’m Working on and can tell that they are solving quite easy some of the hardest problems I had met. TO start Outlook with switch after it, you should open Start – Run and to write outlook.exe /
Following switches are possible:
/CleanClientRules – Starting Outlook without client Rules
/CleanServerRules – Starting Outlook without server Rules
/CleanProfile – Removing regstries of the user and optimising the ones if possible
/Cleanpst – open Outlook without loading of PST files
/FirstRun – Starting Outlook as first time run
/ResetFolders – Reset Outlook system folders (quite useful in problems with names)
There are some other switches but I did not found them useful at all.

Very often your PST files are reaching the size bigger than 1.5 GB. Really this is the size which allows you to open the PST files without any problem and work with them. One time the PST file just broke and you think that all information cannot be found. This is not right because Microsoft Office has own tool for repairing such large PST files. You should follow the procedure to do it alone:
1. Click Start menu, and select Run.
2. In the box, which appeared write: “C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMapi\LocaleID\scanpst.exe”, where LocaleID is the local indentifier (LCID) on your installation of Microsoft Office. For example, LCID for English (United States) is 1033.
3. Click on OK.
4. Write the path and name of the file, which you want to repair. You can use Browse too, but if the file is situated on hidden folder you will not be able to find it.
5. Click Start.
6. After the scan finish, make backup of the file, in case of braking it. 7. Click Repair.
After that load the PST file and remove some of the information from it.
