Convert OST PST tool to resolve "object could not be found" Error

When you want to access data from the MS Exchange Server mailbox or update the OST file stored on your system, you have to synchronize the .ost file with Exchange Server. This synchronization of OST file with MS Exchange Server means you are imitating data between Exchange Server and Offline filder file i.e. .ost file. OST file is a copy of Exchange Server mailbox that is stored on the client system. When synchronization between Exchange Server and OST file takes place, .OST file gets automatically converted into .PST (Personal Storage Table) file and gets updated with all the changes as in Exchange Server and Exchange Server is updated with the changes in OST file.

But if somehow the synchronization process fails, the conversion of OST to PST can not be completed successfully, and due to this improper synchronization OST file can be corrupted and become inaccessible. BUt it is not so, thst you can never access your corrupt ost file, you can use ost to pst conversion utility to manually onvert ost to pst file.

What happens when you try to synchronize .OST file with the Exchange server in MS Outlook 2003, following error message may occur in Sync Issues directory of MS Outlook: "0×8004010F An object could not be found". When you attempt to send a mail after receiving the above error message, you get the following error message in MS Office Outlook 2003: "Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0×8004010F): 'Operation failed. Object could not be found.'" This behaviour resulting in the end of synchronization process and you cannot associate with the Exchange Server. Finally, it stops OST to PST conversion process.

Basic cause of Error

Below mentioned situations may be responsible for such errors:

Missing or incorrect address listing offline address book list
Missing address list in offline address book list
The OST on the local systems file is either corrupt or unusable.


To resolve this problem view Properties in Address lists setting of Exchange server manager, verify the Address list validity. If the list is not valid you can add the new list

But many of the times this method fails. In such situations one should use email conversion softwares that convert the corrupted .ost file into accessible .pst file. Such tools uses advance scanning techniques to efficiently convert OST to PST file. After converting the OST to PST file, the resulting PST file can be accessed with MS Outlook.
