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

Title: Message

If you put the username as a parameter to a batch file in every users AD profile, then a simple batch file like   ECHO %1 >> \\<network path to your server here that every user has write access to>\PSTsize.log DIR C:\documents and settings\%1\local settings\application data\ etc... >> \\<network path to your server here that every user has write access to>\PSTSize.log   Would give it to you.  Of course you could get fancier with the log file format, but this gives you the fundamental data.   Obviously you have to put this individually into each users' profile with their username, so that will take time...
