Incomplete conversion to OST from PST

My office recently converted to Small business exchange. Last week we just
finalized the upgrade of all computers to Outlook 2003 and connected to the
server. Literally the last computer and the one with the issue was converted
from PST to OST by importing the PST file. This computer has hundreds of
nested sub-folders. The folder structure on the server was built with no
apparent issues. We realized the folder structure although accurate was empty
of any filed messages . The OST on the computer has all of the original
messages. The server has none. Any new message that arrive can be filed in
folders and synced to the server.

The question is how do we force the computer to update the server with all
of the filed informations?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
 
An .OST file is a mirror image or the Exchange Server mailbox and isn't seen
until and unless Outlook is opened Offline; it sounds like you may still be
dealing with a .PST file. If you still have the original .PST file, open it
in Outlook with 'File|Open|Outlook Data file'; you can then drag and drop
messages and folders from the .PST to the Exchange mailbox.
