Microsoft Outlook error: 'One or more rules could not be uploaded to Exchange Server'
SearchExchange.com expert Brad Dinerman helps troubleshoot the Microsoft Outlook error "One or more rules could not be uploaded to Exchange Server."
When trying to add additional rules in Microsoft Outlook 2003, I get the following Outlook error: "One or more rules could not be uploaded to Exchange Server and have been deactivated. This could be because some of the parameters are not supported or there is insufficient space to store all of your rules." How do I resolve this problem?
There are a number of possible causes for this error message including delivery to a .PST file instead of to the Exchange Server mailbox, or rules that exceed the 32 KB limit. Please review the following
