This same possibility is also in Windows Server 2008R2. With FAX becoming somewhat obsolete it is a nice way to handle FAXes in a PC environment.

Even after emptying the Deleted items and compressing the box, th user could still not delete items.

The solution is to close outlook, and find the deleted.dbx folder (Documents and settings/username/Local settings/application data/identities/abcdefgh1234/ where Username is the user logged into the computer, and the abcdefgh1234 represent an identity on the machine) and delete the file deleted.dbx. When outlook restarts, it will create a new file and users can continue to delete items

After digging a bit I found this post from Microsoft that describes and resolves the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968605/en-us

Symptoms are:
When you use a RDP client or Terminal Service client from a Windows XP SP2 or later version,  Windows Vista,  Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 using RDP 6.0 or 6.1 clients into a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server running in Application Mode.  The XPS file is being sent back over to the client.  You might see it spool on the server then disappear or the job never gets back to the client.the XPS file is being sent back over to the client.  You might see it spool on the server then disappear or the job never gets back to the client.

 The cause is listed as:
Besides having the role of Terminal Services in Application Mode installed, you also installed the role of a Domain Controller (DC) 

When a DC is being configured as a TS server, there is a standard warning message which states:
“Installing Terminal Services on a Domain Controller is not recommended. Do you want to continue?”

Yes not recomended, ut in this case users primarly (and only domain controller was a SBS2003 server and client may switch everything to the new server at some point. For redundancy we installed the second Domain Controller on the W2008R2 machine.

Solution:
1.       Click Start, search for cmd.exe

2.       Right click on cmd.exe

3.       Click on ‘Run as Administrator’

4.       Type “C:\” w/o the quotation marks and then Press Enter.

5.       Type CD\Windows\System32\Spool  and then Press Enter.

6.       Type Cacls.exe PRINTERS /e /g users:C and then Press Enter.

7.       Restart the computer

When the users log back in everything works.

• Run Regedit.exe
• Locate the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{2DF8D04C-5BFA-101B-BDE5-00AA0044DE52} key
• Delete the 2.4 key that’s found under it. It’s not needed anymore, there should only be 2.5

As always, run regit at your own risk. A mistake in using it can make your machine unusable.

Adobe makes two primary versions of the Acrobat program, the Acrobat Reader that it gives away freely, but it also make an Adobe Acrobat Standard version that allows you not only to create PDF files, but also make editable forms from those files. The earlier versions (Version 5 and before) were called Acrobat Writer, but since Version 6 they have been know as Adobe Acrobat Standard and Adobe Acrobat Pro. The Pro versions have a few more features than the “Standard” versions. Adobe has just released its newest version of Adobe Acrobat, the Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat X Standard. The X is a take off from the 10th release of the Adobe Acrobat Product.

With the Pro or Standard you can create PDF files from your existing applications by printing to an Acrobat Printer, but you can open PDF documents and if they are text oriented, you can make them so that you create fields to be filled in by the end users and then printed. Users who have only the reader can still fill in the fields in the acrobat document, but you cannot save the data in the form unless you have the Acrobat Pro or Standard editions.

There are other PDF programs available from third parties that are generally less expensive than the Acrobat Versions. The Acrobat Standard retails for $299 and the Pro is $449, while most of the third party PDF creators are between $100 and $200.

If you objective is to create PDF files from your Word or Excel documents, you can do that if you have Office 2010, or if you have Office 2007, you can download a free add-on from Microsoft. Then when you save your Office document you can save it in a PDF format. These converters will not allow you to create custom forms or edit exiting PDF files, but it is a big step to be able to create PDF files from within your existing MS Office applications.

Finally there are people that want to create PDF files, but do not have Microsoft Office 2007 or later. For them we can recommend downloading and installing the “Cute PDF Writer”. You can download Cute PDF Writer. When you run the program it will install a PDF  Printer on your computer. Then when you want to create a PDF file, simple print to that PDF Printer and it will ask you the name and where you want to save it, and the file will be saved as a PDF file.

If you wnat to get a more powerful PDF creator porgram you can also buy one of the third party programs such as PDF Converter Professional:

For under $100, it will not only create PDF files, but also allow you to create fill in forms, combine PDF files and a number of other features.

• Install and activate your qualifying Office 2007 product by September 30, 2010.
• Provide your Product ID-it is required to redeem your Technology Guarantee Office 2010 upgrade.
• Retain your activated Office 2007 25-character Product Key.

You have to log into the Microsoft site and put in your product code for the Office 2007 version you received. You will then get a link to be able to download the Office 2010 version plus you will get the new product key in your e-mail. While the purchase/ install/ activate date has to be on or before Sept 30, 2010, you have until Oct 31 to submit your claim.

Here is a table showing you what version of 2010 you will get for your 2007 version.  Note: Small Business versions get upgraded to Professional

SyncToy is available here

Once you have download SyncToy, run the install program and then start the program.

If this is the first time you have run the program it will start and ask you to setup a Sync Pair. If you have already setup a sync pair It will show you the pairs.

 To create a new folder pair to synchronize, click the Create New Folder Pair button at the bottom. A Pair creating screen will open:

Create Folder Pair

 Click on the Browse button on each both sides to select the folders in the two locations you want to synchronize. Generally the left folder should be the primary location and the right folder the Laptop or secondary location. (Note this makes no difference when you do a full synchronization).

Synchronize

 If you select Full Synchronization it will update both sides of the “SYNC” with the newer information.  Beware. If you have done work on say a spreadsheet on your laptop, and on the desktop open and resave the same worksheet. The desktop will be the newer file and will overwrite the file on the laptop even though that is the one you have modified and really want. You can also select Echo or Contribute. (See the explanation of the actions on the right side.) When you click Next and you will be asked to name the Sync Pair:

Name

 That will complete the setup. All you have to do is to decide if you want to synchronize all of your Sync Pairs, or just one Folder Pair. To Synchronize ALL of the pairs, click the All Folder Pairs on the left side, and click the Run All Pairs button at the bottom.

Run All

 To run just a specific pair, select the pair on the left side and then click on the Run button at the bottom right.

Run One Pair

In either case you can preview the results by clicking on the Preview button at the bottom right.
