Hello,
We have a very big client environment, we want to clear local pst files and
stat to keep uzer messages at the server. But in local disks of computers,
there are several pst files which are accessed by several users. We want to
know which pst belongs to which user? So, is there any place where outlok's
local pst file name is written? Can we learn this information by running a
vbscript remotely?

Thanks.
Atilla.

That is going to nearly impossible as pst-files are not always linked to
Outlook. The default location is in the user profile which is a dead give
away on who it belongs to of course. Reading the owner of the NTFS
permissions is possible too.

If you have a large client base you mind want to turn things around; provide
them with the location where to store their emails and instructions on how
to do that. Notify them that within a month (or which ever timeframe your
schedule is) pst-file access and support will be dropped.

I assume you mean with keeping messages server side is within the Exchange
mailbox so that your serverside archiving system can do its job? Note that
connecting to pst-files on a networkshare is not supported or recommended by
Microsoft.
