Outlook Sync FAQ's and Set Up
​1. Does Outlook have to be open for the sync to run if it's set on a schedule and not being ran manually?
No.  The state of Outlook does not matter at any point.  If Outlook is not open, it will be opened "in background" to get the necessary info.

2. What if there are multiple profiles within Outlook on one system, which one does the sync run with?
The sync client will warn if the profile has changed.
However, this introduces a different issue.   We store our tracking files on the current PC.  So it is not going to work well to have one user's data in sync, but another user using that PC.
