256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
You cannot recover deleted items when you use Recover Deleted Items in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. This is the case when the following conditions are true:
 * You are trying to make a client connection to a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.
 * You are trying to make a client connection to Exchange Server 2003 by using remote procedure call (RPC) over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Recover Deleted Items is disabled in Outlook 2003 when you use RPC over HTTP.



RESOLUTION
Add a registry entry to the Outlook client computer before you connect to the Exchange server. To do this, follow these steps:

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
 * 1) Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
 * 2) Locate and then click the following registry subkey:


 * 1) On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
 * 2) Type DumpsterAlwaysOn, and then press ENTER.
 * 3) Double-click DumpsterAlwaysOn.
 * 4) Type 1 in the Value data area, click Decimal in the Base area, and then click OK.
 * 5) Close Registry Editor.
 * 6) Restart Outlook.

Note After you create the DumpsterAlwaysOn registry entry, you can recover items that were deleted after the registry entry was created. You cannot recover items that were deleted before the DumpsterAlwaysOn registry entry was added.
