I agree. PST should be used to keep messages you need. maybe even CYA messages. it is not needed to store evry bit of junk mail.
BTW, putting it on a cd will let her read it but not write to it (read-only attribute) which means she will just create another one on the network to store more stuff.

I am formulating the basis for my argument. So you guys agree what she is doing and trying to spread to others in the company is not a good practice? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 3:52 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Keeping large PST's open Why not put those large PST's on a CD for her ?

I think opening them locally is much better. Helps minimize corruption potential and of course uses less network resources. I prefer to keep them local and back them up to the network as needed. They are archives and dashboard development files mostly. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Dodd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 12:37 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Keeping large PST's open I have a user that keeps her mail in seevral large pst's in her home directory then open's them as personal folders in Outllook. I looked at her files and she has almost 350 Mb of PST's. In the past users have been allowed to have a 100mb limit on thier exchange mailbox, which should be plenty if it is not used as a filling system. As a new administrator I feel un-easy about her doing this, and she is showing evryone she runs into how to do it also. It seems to me like this will eat a huge amount of Network resources.
