oddly it works sometimes. sometimes i have toremove the read-only, have outlook open it then "close" the folder and set it to read-only and use the open pst command to open it. (i just dupoble checked on my pst and it worked) Outlook 2000. don't know why it works sometimes and not others but once it works, it is fine.

So she would have to copy it from the cd in order to open it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 2:52 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Keeping large PST's open Why not put those large PST's on a CD for her ?

I think opening them locally is much better. Helps minimize corruption potential and of course uses less network resources. I prefer to keep them local and back them up to the network as needed. They are archives and dashboard development files mostly. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Dodd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 12:37 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues 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.
