[ExchangeList] Re: Outlook PST Files and Roaming Profiles

Hi Marc,
 
There are Group Policies but nothing Office related. In terms of the default 
profile being assigned, we use a .prf file which seems to work OK. Its strange 
that the only thing that seems to be affected is the .pst file mapping, and 
only to a few users...
 
Note that all users were migrated onto this network at the same time on the 
same day, using the same .prf file and all have Office XP... its got me 
flummoxxed... *sigh*

I would check to see if there is a group policy in place possibly restricting 
something, it may also  be a setting when outlook is installed if the ORK is 
used and a custom deployment is setup, and a default outlook profile is 
assigned. Hope this helps - Marc

Hi All,

 

I hope someone has experienced this before... and fixed it :)

 

I currently have a situation where we have set up an environment using roaming 
profiles, redirecting the users My Documents etc to the server. There is and 
Exchange 2003 mailserver and clients running Outlook XP.

 

The problem is that a few, not all, users have PST files on their home folders, 
which is OK as it is a 100Mb connection, but what happens is, when the user 
logs off and then onto a different machine, the mapping to the PST files are 
lost, all other settings come across, just not this.

 

I thought it may be something to do with the network but I created a new PST 
file for an effected user on their desktop, connected to it, logged off and 
onto a different machine - same problem, no PST mapping.

 

If the user logs off then back onto the same machine then it retains the 
mapping...

 

I know that the users could just keep their archived mail in subfolders of 
their inbox or in Public folder with restricted rights but its not solving the 
problem, its just a workaround. (though this is what we are advising them to do 
for the time being...)

 

I really hope someone has seen this before or has some ideas about how to 
troubleshoot?

 

Sorry this isn't directly Exchange related but at least you are all using 
Outlook... :)

 

Regards

Mark Taylor
