PST's can only be opened by a single user, and really, you have to close Outlook before the PST is release for another user to open it.
Exchange Public Folders are on way to group that information. Definitely makes it easier for multiple people to access the same information. I personally would go with SharePoint Services (the free download) for putting project documentation & e-mails into a logical grouping. However, that requires the users to think differently, and you'll have to weigh the pro/cons of support, backup/recovery, end user training, etc... Scott Kaufman Lead Network Analyst ITT ESI, Inc. From: René de Haas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 10:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Can not open PST files Agree, but.... I explained the thing to a project manager who used them a lot. He explained to me he wanted to keep the emails concerning a project together with other documents of a project. Seems logical. After our conversation he still only connects to 2 of them. Any suggestions as to how we can get him off pst-files and store the emails in a logical way so they are easy to find for him and others needing them? So far my thought was public folders, but that is still another place to store them, albeit a much better place in my opinion.

Seriously. Keep .PSTs local and backup the files periodically. Lots of people are doing it wrong. -- ME2 On Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 8:50 PM, Kevan Dickinson <[email protected]> wrote: I know that Microsoft does not support PST's on a Network drive but we have worked this way for many years and I know that lots of other people do as well.
