My roaming users typically connect VPN so that would not be too much of an issue.
But you're right, the attachments would not be directly accessible via OWA or CRM via http... Perhaps you might publish the file folder with web/ftp or use a rule to duplicate the messages complete with attachments in a temporary folder, for short term use (OWA in my company is typically used only for very recent emails, a week / a month old max). Or use Terminal Services (or RWW Remote Web Workplace on SBS) Alberto -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jean-Paul Natola Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 5:15 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Stripping file attachments at Exchange server Just out of curiosity what happens if the user is connected from outside? , I ask this because I face the same issue I have maybe 60 odd users and I'm at about 50 gigs on the STORE, how would they get to an attachment do you make the storage folder accessible from outside too? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alberto Faccioli Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 11:10 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Stripping file attachments at Exchange server This is a good point. However in my company (small shop - 12 people) file storage is cheap, while Exchange and SQL storage is not (talking about backup/recovery procedures). I would't care that much to have dozens of GB's of junk stripped files somewhere on a NAS, if that can save even a few GB in Exchange and CRM/SQL stores. However yours is a good point, to take into account. Thanks.

We get quite a few attachments in there that are nothing more than video clips, etc. or multiple announcements for new products going to different magazines. I could see where, at some point, you don't know what you can delete, because it is no longer needed and what needs to be kept because it is a good attachment but the email is archived.
