Hmmmm how about..... DON'T USE PST's!! THEY ARE BAD!!   Does that cover it? If you have an Exchange Server, and judging by your subject I'm ass-u-me-ing that you do.... then use the Information Store - it's what it's designed for...... Centralised Backups, Single Instance Storage, etc.   If you're in any doubt about how bad PST's are, sign up to the Exchange list that Sunbelt software hosts and Post something along the lines of "I like PST's, what does the rest of the group think?" (remember to put on a flame retardant jacket and duck before you hit send :-)   You can find the list here: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/community.cfm   Or try reading this: http://snipurl.com/7a0f Full link is here: http://www.swinc.com/resources/exchange/faq_db.asp?status=questions&faqID=1000&faqname=Exchange%205.5&sectionID=1013&sectionName=Why%20PST%20=%20BAD (watch for wrapping)   HTH Jack     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Sent: 23 June 2004 14:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Roaming Profiles and Exchange According to MS documentation, it is not a good idea to put Outlook *.pst files in a remote location such as a UNC path.  So what is the alternative if you are using roaming profiles?  The *.pst file does not seem to get copied over into the users Application Data folder when logging off or when moving to another computer.   At one point, I had the GPO set to delete locally cached copies of profiles but because of the above mentioned had to disable this option.     Thank in advance for your responses, Edwin
