It's not simply a question of access to the file if one wants to open it offline using Outlook.

You will have access to all the user profiles, hence access to the .ost file.

I have had some limited success with logging into the machine as a another privilaged user account, rolling the machine back to pre-SP3 and then using l0phtcrack to crunch through the password. Then again, calling the recently departed user never hurts, either!

That's assuming, of course, you can reasonably hack their password. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
