BAD
PST very bad....
Actually, I agree 100%, I despise pst's, but have to live with
them. We tell our users here that they can use pst's, they are for email
that must be kept longer than 45 days, BUT there is no guarantee on a pst, it is
a volatile, corruptible file. I have had a user's pst get corrupted, and
we did not have it on backup because she waited for 2 weeks to report it (we
only keep email/pst backups for 1 week), and she whined all the way up to her
director who contacted our director and he said too bad, my staff was following
policy......if it's that important, save it to a word doc and store it on the
network!
PST=BAD! see the faq...

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.

RE: Keeping large PST's open
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?
