Most of the times we get error messages while synchronizing the Offline Folder file .OST in Microsoft Office Outlook with our mailbox on an Exchange Server. In addition some email items get missing from the OST file or from the mailbox after synchronization of .ost file and the mailbox.

In such situations OST to PST conversion becomes the apt choice. But before you can try your hand on using OST Integrity Check tool, also known as Scanost.exe used for checking your .ost file. The OST Integrity Check tool runs only on .ost files and can be used to diagnose and repair synchronization issues.

This Integrity Check tool scans both your .ost file and your mailbox on the server running Exchange, compares the items and folders in each, and attempts to reconcile synchronization differences between them. This tool simply records any differences in a scan log so that you can see the discrepancies that it found and get it resolved. The scan log also identifies any situations that the tool could not correct which you will need to fix manually. The scan log can be found in your Deleted Items folder.
