When you say dymo labeller, you mean the clear black type on thin white labels kind and not the "punch whitish letters into green vinyl" kind, right?

Alright, pissing me off. A slow creep of users having issues with Outlook search. Outlook 2013/2016, running on 0365 Hybrid. Search just suddenly quits indexing new emails. So people will start noticing say a week or two after it begins - they'll have an email from, say, yesterday, but it doesn't show up if you search for it. Its there for manual looking, but searching just fails. Its like Outlook picks a date/time, and any email after that will never be searched. And we can't seem to fix it. The only solution that's worked so far is a full wipe/reinstall. We tried everything under the sun related to rebuilding the search index. Tried uninstall and reinstall of office, along with blowing the email profile away first. Tried blowing away the user profile on the PC. Nothing works but a full reinstall. Has anyone else run into this, and if so - any solutions?

Siochain posted:Alright, pissing me off. Disable the search and indexing service in it's entirety. It's the only way to get it to stop using the broken indexes and actually go back and search stuff manually. In outlook that means maybe 5-10 seconds to search a huge multi-GB .OST file, which everyone I've used the fix on agrees is tons better than faster but also wrong search results.

Entropic posted:Those type of breaker boxes are everywhere around here and I’ve never ever seen one labeled well. Usually it’s scrawled in faded pencil in the inscrutable handwriting of some 1980s electrician. I got super-lucky at home.

A text from a friend who is a unit secretary came in: "Our printer is on the fritz again :\ Wait, I fixed it. It needed toner. I swear nobody can do anything for themselves here, you're a doctor for gods sake figure it out." I thanked her profusely for being competent and this is why we're friends.

Haven’t heard back. Yeah, we've done the profile/search indexes/uninstall-reinstall, etc. Log into their profile on another PC? Works 100%. It almost seems like the profile gets "full", and just won't index anything new. Disabling windows search DOES fix the issue, but searches do seem to be fairly slow. I've only tried that workaround on a couple of older PC's, so I'll try it on one of the newer ones to see if it seems to help. I appreciate the input all. And let me know if you see anything else that might help.

Sigh. User calls in saying that when she tries to open picture attachment, it opens with an error message saying she needs to be connected to the Internet. My co-worker just attaches the screenshots and does no troubleshooting. The user calls back and speaks with one of my co-workers who just notes in the ticket that this is only affecting emails in one of her email addresses (she has two). I get a hold of the user and have her open the attachment and note that Outlook is trying to open the file as HTML. Hmmmm, I wonder what the issue is.  Two minutes later and two changes to default programs, she can open JPG attachments. My co-workers are so lazy, and I end up doing so much more drat work than them.

I've been told they're designed with a stresspoint of failure and to be replaceable, but they don't sell replacements by themselves. You have to get them serviced.
