How to avoid Outlook contact duplicates when re-installing plugin

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 180

It appears to be a common problem and there are a couple of good articles out there which can be summarized as:

  1. Turn off filters
  2. Sync (all synced records will be removed from Outlook)
  3. Safely remove and re-install the Connector.

Here is a good article:

Here is a good reference in this community (pretty much same as the article):
https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/124387

The steps on these documents make perfect sense but they failed to mention "System Filters".
What are my options when I have System Filters? I cannot turn them off and the administrator cannot remove them because of the impact on all other users.

I'm guessing even after I turn off my user filters and sync again, synced contacts won't be removed because I still have a filter I can't control. This makes this process inappropriate for this scenario.

Any thoughts?
