I'm pulling a bit of Ben's post out to make it more clear, since it's kind of buried and hitting on a particular concern of Jon's

However, you may want to speak with your Exchange admin and talk about whether these old PSTs will be migrated into the Exchange server (i.e. is capacity built in to the new structure to allow it), and to have the Exchange admin talk with the business side regarding the pros and cons of migrating the PSTs in, so that you can lay down an acceptable risk scenario. ----- Salvador Manzo [ 620 W. 35th St - Los Angeles, CA 90089 e.

It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws.
