Because if we did not set some limit every user would have 3gb of
mailboxes. These people seem to think it is a wonderful filing
system
Wouldn't want to burden the Exchange server,
right?
I
agree with what you said though. But, if the person is constantly using
this .pst it belongs in the store. That's what it's for.
Is
there a policy reason for limiting a mailbox to 100MB? Perhaps
restore time or your Exchange standard install approaching 16GB? Or is
the limit there because you can?

With PSTs in the
850+ MB range, it does not do an Exchange environment any good to put that
burden back on the IS. What really needs to be done is 'spring cleaning.'
Get the users to delete mail that is never needed, which probably includes
personal mail, SPAM, etc, and then put the real mail that needs to be
"archived" into a PST and burn THAT PST.

Why is
that absurd? .pst's use up more disk space than the equivalent email
in the Information store.
If
someone is constantly referring to a .pst on a CD for information access,
you aren't doing the Exchange Server product
justice.
Nothing absurd
about Kevin's comments. A better option in most circumstances.
Not all, I understand.

Yeah
Kevin that sounds absurd. The CD option will work fine, but as someone
pointed out, they will have to copy them to the HD to view them, and then
they have to have the brains to change attributes.
The
best option is to have them save the PST locally, especially considering
the fact that they apparently need to reference them
repeatedly.

Are talking about
increasing limits on the mailbox inorder to store that stuff in the IS
rather then PST/OSTs. In my case that would mean making all users
unlimited, which is not an option...

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....

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. Any opnions?
