From: Ed Crowley [MVP] on 4 Feb 2010 19:54 That's not such a good idea. You can't open a PST that is on read-only media; he'd have to copy it to his hard disk, and that's pretty inconvenient. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." ..

If you use cached mode for this user, the OST file on his client machine will be huge. The OST files are usually about 1.5x the size of the mailbox on exchange. Anything over a gig is very susceptible to corruption. If his OST file gets corrupted, as soon as he syncs back with Exchange, his exchange mailbox will be messed up too and you'll be scrambling to recover his back from a backup. Have you tried an archiving solution that stubs out his mail? Look at Archive Manager (Quest/ScriptLogic) or another product like that.

Not true at all. > If his OST file gets corrupted, as soon as he syncs back >with Exchange, his exchange mailbox will be messed up too and you'll >be scrambling to recover his back from a backup. If the OST is corrupted it won't be openable and the guy will have t ohave a new one which will initiate a sync back from the server to a new OST. No backups at all. >Have you tried an archiving solution that stubs out his mail? Look at >Archive Manager (Quest/ScriptLogic) or another product like that. You are utterly, totally and utterly wrong. Stubbing is a ridiculous answer for situations where there are lots of items. A stub to a message is still a message and whilst you get size reduction benefits you get no improvement in performance. Stubbing the Exchange 2003 store in this case is probably the last thing you would do. |
