Cached Exchange mode is not supported and is not available on a terminal server.

It is possible to change the setting of the cached mode using the registry and the details below, but this is for a standard client pc - even on a terminal server the grayed out box is ticked but it still doesn't appear to activate cached mode.

I can see why you are trying to do this, but if you had quite a few users on the terminal server and lots of mail was syncronising their cached mail it could well affect the performance of the server to a degree that was noticable to the users.

Here is a link where MS states you can't use Business Contact Manager on Terminal Server (P23)
