From a server on the network, you would have to have permissions to each machine to do that.  If you run Active Directory it's not a problem, though.  In fact, you could add the script Dave suggested to their startup to compile a report of pst sizes.

Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] WAY OT: software to monitor the size of the local Outlook.pst file

That would be pretty easy to do with a _vbscript_. Create a FileSystemObject and have it access the file. That exposes most file properties, including filesize, as I recall. The script can send you an email if the file gets too large.  Run the script once a day using the task scheduler. 
 
Unfortunately, it's not just 1 file.
 
Its 300 users' Outlook.pst files, on 300 different machines.
 
What I was looking for, was a piece of 3rd party software, to load on a server, that will go out and find all Outlook.pst files on the network (or any other file type that I specify) check the file size, then email me back or notify me if the file gets too large.
 
Is there such a thing?
 
Thanks,
Sharyn
