Symptoms

Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook records do not synchronize or are missing Track and Set Regarding buttons with User Synchronization Filters disabled even though System Synchronization Filters exist and are enabled.

Cause

Resolution

User Synchronization Filters for the particular record type in question must exist and be enabled.
