we had a lot of issues with PST files sitting on a file server , every
now and again we would get serious performance and disconnections.
the main cause was users with PST files over 1 GB users whos inbox had
thousadns of emails. when we cut the size down to around 600-700 Mb we
had no more trouble

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?
