I don't think he
said no limits. It was question of why did you choose 100MB. Can you or do you
show any flexability for those who may have a need for more
space?
100MB is very
generous for 95% of the users, but there is always a small percentage who need
more.
Here is my
thoughts.
If the mail is
actually important, it should be on the Exch server.
If it is just
because someone doesnt like to delete stuff, it should be in a PST on the local
machine and not backed up.
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.

RE: Keeping large PST's open
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.

RE: Keeping large PST's open
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?
