Haven't used IIS lockdown (we apply the hot fixes manually) but wouldn't be surprised if it disables the NETBIOS ports, which means that your IIS server will not be able to authenticate against the Exchange server. Log on to the IIS box and make sure that you can establish a MAPI session from

Is it still growing? You can monitor this by checking the free space on the drive (Q180011) or toggling the archive bit on the file. How fast is it growing? When you say it jumped from 5 to 16GB over what period was this? Where did you get these estimates of store size from? Check your backup

Crazy. Try telling your IT Director no such product exists. Cna't see anyone thinking of writing such a product anyway. Then you are into backing up growing PSTs on multiple remote machines where users may not log out causing open file problems, and users invariably cannot manage tape rotation.
