Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 2:34 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Slightly OT: PST policies I have read all those things about PST=BAD and I have used all of those. I gave my suggestion of do not allow any PSTs and I was told that we have to allow PSTs. The reasons is the best part of the whole thing, "they have always been able to use PSTs so we can't take that away from them". Politics is the problem. The more I'm thinking about this the madder it makes me. I've given this recommendation before and then this time I was asked to give the recommendation again so it could be taking to the powers that be. I give my recommendation and I'm told it is not acceptable. I'm pretty much being given the recommandation and being told that it is my recommendation now justify it. I can't justify the wrong decision. So that was my rant that you all could care less about but thank you everyone for the input.

If you have an Exchange Server and you don't restrict people's mailboxes to a ridiculous size, there is absolutely no reason for you to use PSTs. Offline users can work off of their OSTs. Why is not possible to get rid of them? What is their argument? They want to have a safe virus-scanner-free place to store their games and exes? They prefer to utilize more disk space? They want to provide job security to low level admins who try to recover corrupt PSTs? They are comfortable NOT backing up PSTs for users that don't logoff from Outlook? What is their rationale?

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 1:24 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Slightly OT: PST policies After much complaining about PST usage on our network I have finally been asked to give my recommendation on PST files. My recommendation of not allowing them at all was shot down as not possible. I now turn to you guys to find out what you do about PST usage. I would like to limit the size of the PST files that we use but the only way I know of that I can do this is based on quotas on the drives where they are stored. The only other way to enforce this would be to monitor it and yell at the people that get large PSTs. I think I'm running into what I have read many times on this list and I will probably get it wrong.
