Plus PST files can't be shared. Adding a user to the cc line of a message /does not/ double the storage required in the Exchange databases.
However as others have said, public folders seem like a good solution. If I remember correctly, the standard version of Exchange can do 16GB in the Private Store and another 16GB in the Public Store. If you need better records management than that, then perhaps you need an archival product like KVS kVault. It will pull things out of the store based on rules you define and save them to "cheaper" media as configured. Users can pull an item up in Outlook from the archive as needed. Other vendors do this too I think, but I haven't used them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Couch, Nate Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 6:17 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: options This would work of course, but they will be limited to 2GB of space for the PST so they may run into having to have multiple PST's. Still, make sure they know it is their responsibility to back up the files, unless you have a system to back up your workstations. > ---------- > From: Kim Schotanus > Reply To: Exchange Discussions > Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 6:13 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: options > > I fear that I will run out of disk space very fast on the server.
