I am a LAN Admin in a large governmental agency.
Recently we replaced a whole bunch of PCs running either NT or 2000Pro with
XP and Outlook 2002 or 2003.
The users were using Outlook 2000 and had PSTs that were kept on network
drives.
I know of the MSKB articles that advise against PSTs on a LAN or WAN link.
I also have to take orders and keep my job.
In any case, when I rebuild the Outlook profile on these PSTs, I try to
attach to these PSTs via File, Open, outlook Data File. I see the PST but
cannot open it, I get a "you do not have rights to this." message. I have
tried putting the PST on a local hard drive, a networked one and a flash
drive, same message.
I suspect it is XP, here is why. I have 2000Pro with 2002 Outllok, another
with 2003 Outlook. I have no problem opening the PST, even on a network
drive.
What does XP have against these PSTs. And if it really hates them, how can
I convert the PSTs and save the data and make it available to my users?
