Turn on logging for all conflicts
Supported on SUPPORTED_Windows7 (defined in the Windows templates)
What it does
This policy setting allows you to create Modification Resolution logs whenever the Outlook conflict resolver runs. If you enable this policy setting, Outlook will create Modification Resolution logs whenever the Outlook conflict resolver runs. By default, Modification Resolution logs are written into the Sync Issues folder whenever Outlook's conflict resolver cannot resolve a conflict. You may select one of these options: - No conflicts are logged: No Modification Resolution logs are written into the Sync Issues folder whenever Outlook's conflict resolver runs. - All conflicts logged: Modification Resolution logs are written into the Sync Issues folder whenever Outlook's conflict resolver runs. - Unresolved conflicts logged only: Modification Resolution logs are written into the Sync Issues folder in Outlook when the Outlook conflict resolver cannot resolve a conflict. This applies to all item types. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, no Modification Resolution logs are written when the Outlook conflict resolver runs.

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
