From: Erik Lukac on 17 Mar 2010 13:48 Hi there, I am using Exchange 2003 on Win2k3 Server I have a strange problem: My boss bought himself a Mobile Phone (Samsung C5212 DuoS) which he wanted to use for synchronising Contacts and Calendar from Outlook 2003 (is client on that mentioned Exchange-Server). After installing the Software "Samsung New PC Studio" (which was the latest from Samsung Website) and synchronising contacts and calendar the whole data in his calendar before Aug 2009 was deleted. Seems like a problem of that "PC Studio" software because it had limited space for calendar entries. I suppose it simply deleted the oldest entries which didnt fit into its storage. Now my question: luckily I do have a backup but: how do I put the backup together with the latest information? Is there any special procedure? How do I avoid double entries? Thanks in advance Erik

I take it he used a USB cable and Activesync on his computer to setup a partnership with his phone? -- John Oliver, Jr MCSE, MCT, CCNA Exchange MVP 2009 Microsoft Certified Partner "Erik Lukac" <lukac(a)in.tum.de> wrote in message news:e2IYYofxKHA.3560(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi there, > > I am using Exchange 2003 on Win2k3 Server > I have a strange problem: > > My boss bought himself a Mobile Phone (Samsung C5212 DuoS) which he wanted > to use for synchronising Contacts and Calendar from Outlook 2003 (is > client on that mentioned Exchange-Server). > > After installing the Software "Samsung New PC Studio" (which was the > latest from Samsung Website) and synchronising contacts and calendar the > whole data in his calendar before Aug 2009 was deleted.

It's something Samsung self-made and proprietary. The only way to transfer the data was Samsung's "Samsung New PC Studio"-Software. But the other thing is correct. He used the usb-cable (or let's say I used the usb-cable for him).
From: M on 17 Mar 2010 17:14 Hello: Did you contact Samsung tech support to see if the program archived the calendar items to a file somewhere? Perhaps you could import the items back in. If you need to do a restore, run the restore, then ExMerge the calendar folder from the restore. This will put it into a PST. I don't remember if you can set ExMerge to import everything back except duplicates. I do know that you can import items using Outlook and select the option to not import duplicates. -- Regards, M MCTS, MCSA "Erik Lukac" <lukac(a)in.tum.de> wrote in message news:e2IYYofxKHA.3560(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi there, > > I am using Exchange 2003 on Win2k3 Server > I have a strange problem: > > My boss bought himself a Mobile Phone (Samsung C5212 DuoS) which he wanted > to use for synchronising Contacts and Calendar from Outlook 2003 (is > client on that mentioned Exchange-Server). > > After installing the Software "Samsung New PC Studio" (which was the > latest from Samsung Website) and synchronising contacts and calendar the > whole data in his calendar before Aug 2009 was deleted.

Regarding my comment about ExMerge, per ExMerge documentation: Before it copies any messages in a folder to the target store, the program checks whether the message exists in the target store. ExMerge.exe copies only messages that are not already in the target store. -- Regards, M MCTS, MCSA "M" <m(a)n.com> wrote in message news:%23FkTjbhxKHA.812(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hello: > > Did you contact Samsung tech support to see if the program archived the > calendar items to a file somewhere?
