Leave all mail on the server. Don't configure mailbox synchronization for users at infrequently used workstations.

Vesneski Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 10:42 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OST Issue Hi all, Hopefully someone has run into this issue and can lend me some thoughts: --------- 1.) All users of Outlook have mail pst's on a 'MyDocs' share via a GPO redirection. Some personnel have 'Autoarchive' selected in their client - this is an anomaly however. 2.) When a remote employee (laptop user) VPN's into the network they have to remap their PST connection since it is redirected. 3.) Now, if the user comes into the office and logs onto another system other than using their laptop their mail is redirected from the Exchange server. The redirection downloads their email into an OST file on the file system, downloading the entire mailbox from the Exchange server. I am under the impression this happens because the new profile does not have an OST file created for the user. With the creation of the OST file the users email is now off of the server. Help Desk personnel have to reimport the email into the server. --------- What changes can be done to _not_ have this happen? Thanks in advance, Erik L.
