How to configure OsaSync for roaming users?
If you collaborate with (lets say) 4 others and each user has to be able to work on each computer then those users will (need to) have a roaming windows profile. The Outlook pst files will have to accessible on a central server. Here’s how to configure OsaSync in such a way that you can use OsaSync with a 5 computers license: OsaSync needs a unique computer name for each user so you can’t use the actual computer names. For each user on a computer run the OsaSync connection wizard and in client-server mode specify an alternative computer name. Do this again on all other computers and use the same alternative computer name for each user. When all users are configured on all computers there are only 5 alternative computer names so OsaSync only ‘sees’ 4 other computers.
Does OsaSync run on Microsoft Terminal Server? Yes, OsaSync PRO version 4.0 or higher can be used with Terminal Server. OsaSync depends on the computer network name of each computer to share with and in version 4.0 or higher it is possible to configure an alternative computer name for each user. After installing you should export the registry keys: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OsaSyncPro.Connect] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OsaMonitoring.OsaMonConnect] from the server and import them for every user. For more info on alternative names see: My wife also works on my computer, can we both use OsaSync? Does OsaSync share or synchronize distribution lists?

Does OsaSync support custom forms? Yes, if you create contacts using a custom form OsaSync can also synchro
