RE: Keeping large PST's open

Title: Message

PST file size limit is indeed 2GB and or 64k items.  OST file has the same limit and will really hoze up when you hit that limit.  If you don't know to look in the deleted items folder for the sync log you may never realize whats wrong.  (Yes the CEO really does have that much mail.)

This solution I would not really have a problem with. These people are keeping email forever and keep their PSt's open all day every day. Her routine is that as soon as an Email comes in she drags it to her open personnel folder.

We have all users store their PSTs on the network to make backups easier. Since some of our users must keep e-mails for a year (college thing) , some get very big. However, we have found it to be worth while. since PSTs are corruptible being able to restore them is important to us. Most of our users pst files (usually 1 per user) are around 50 megs and have allotted space on the server for them.

 

We lose more space to Mpeg3 and clip art (which we have to clean off regularly despite it being against regs) then to PSTs....

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. Any opnions?
