With PSTs in the 850+ MB range, it does
not do an Exchange environment any good to put that burden back on the IS. What
really needs to be done is 'spring cleaning.' Get the users to
delete mail that is never needed, which probably includes personal mail, SPAM,
etc, and then put the real mail that needs to be "archived" into a
PST and burn THAT PST.

Why is that absurd?
.pst's use up more disk space than the equivalent email in the Information
store.
If someone is constantly
referring to a .pst on a CD for information access, you aren't doing the
Exchange Server product justice.
Nothing absurd about
Kevin's comments. A better option in most circumstances. Not all, I
understand.

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.

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?
