What is the size of the PST file? PST's will kill Outlook after they reach
2gb.

I agree, but it has worked OK for years and just started breaking
recently.

It is probably the fact that PST's are not supported on network drives. The
symptoms you are experiencing seem in line with that:
Personal folder files are unsupported over a LAN or over a WAN link

Though not specifically a Term Server issue, I thought some
smart person here could help.
Our users run either Outlook XP or Outlook 2003 on Windows 2000 and
Windows XP PCs'. We currently are running Exchange 2000. The users
keep
PST files out on their network shares, which reside on Windows 2003
Server
Clusters (HP DL 585) and the disks are on a SCSI Fiber Attached EMC
Clarion 300 CX SAN.
The users will be in Outlook and when they try to get to a folder is
a PST they get
"The set of folders could not be opened. The server is not
available. Contact
your administrator if this condition persists". And if they try to
move something
to or from the PST they get "Can't move items The file
\\servername\filename.pst could
not be accessed"
If they click on one of the folders in the PST files a few times it
may eventually open,
or if they go to Explorer and click on the file from inside there it
may. It seems that
if they have the file on a SAN based drive it is much more
susceptible to this.
I know that MS does not support PST files on network drives, but
this has been working
fine for years, until we moved from fiber attached "local" disks and
Windows 2000 to
the Windows 2003 / EMC combo. Any ideas?
