Setup

-Windows 2000 Professional and NT 4.0 workstations on a
Windows 2000 AD domain
-100Mbps LAN - Traffic is not overloade
-Outlook 98, 2000 SR1, and 2000SP3 on the client
workstation
-PST files are stored on a mapped drive on the server, and
have been for over tw
years
Some are larger than others, but nothing crazy

Issues

"Can't open this item. The file M:\Outlook\mailbox.pst
could not be accessed.
"Cannot create the e-mail message because a location to
send and receive message
could not be found. To add a location, click the Tools
menu, click Services, an
then click the Delivery tab
"Cannot access the file M:\Outlook\mailbox.pst
etc..

In summary, our users are working in Outlook as per usual,
and quite frequentl
the window pane correlating to the current folder they are
in within Outlook, turn
grey and says your pst file is inaccessible

Any suggestions

Thanks

Some of my clients operate like this all the time, with good
results. However, they experience problems when they run out of
CALs (Client Access Licences). When they do they lose access
to some of their shared resources. Next time you see this
problem, make sure that you can still access the shared drive
from the user's machine. Run this command from a Command
Prompt to see all error messages:

net use x: \\YourServer\YourPSTShare
