Hi, My boss has a 450MB pst file and I need to set him up
on our brand new sbs 2000 server. Does his pst file have
to reside (i.e be imported into) in his exchange mailbox
or could I put the pst file on my file server which has
tons of room , and still have exchange work for him
Any help appreciated.
Regards Steve

You will have to import the PST file into Exchage.

But you could point all the mailbox stores
(mailboxes\databae) to your fileserver. Giving you more
space.

You dont need to integrate the PST file into exchange. It could be kept
separate somewhere else on the network or workstation and simply opened by
the one user if you use the File >Open > Personal Folders File .pst option
in Outlook. The downside of that is the PST file remains "frozen in time",
the old calendar cannot be shared, etc. although the user can then copy and
paste individual files that he needs into the active Exchange mailbox. You
might want to do a compromise between what is imported i.e. calendar and
contacts, and left on the personal file i.e. old emails.
