Really, I would have thought not. I disable them on the LAN (I've had problems with them getting corrupt or the performance on slower machines). What you're saying is that there is 300-400MB OST's (about the size of a average mailbox) on all PC's (users profiles), that can be scarfed up. I know OST - PST tools exist. Interesting...

Sure, I suppose. But you'd need an OST to PST conversion process or tool to go along with that. But a solution of beyond last resort... ugh. -----Original Message----- From: Finch Brett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Friday, January 30, 2004 8:03 PM Posted To: swynk Conversation: OST Argument Subject: OST Argument A discussion about Exchange 2K3 with the Exchange 2K3 course I am on. I have considered OST almost as bad as PST's and in a very total disaster recovery someone has suggested that going to the desktop and getting the OST file would be a potential way to rebuild a exchange store (I actually disable OST's on high 100MB to the desktop stations anyways). So 'assuming' someone never uses another desktop, assuming they've read every message and assuming every DR plan has failed (tape, disk and off site storage), the idea of copying every OST file from the desktops would rebuild the majority of a Exchange store. Personally with every other solution, I wouldn't want to even attempt or consider this. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
