Outlook PSTs - Security Issue?

Guest

This is a continuation to a past thread.

I still have an unresolved issue with a user who can't access her old PST
files now that she has a Windows XP desktop.

I am convinced it is a security issue, here is why. I have the offending
PST on a USB key and on the local PC. I can access them from her PC. She
can't, saying she does not have permissions.

She (and the people around her) cannot even create a new local PST.

It seems like a security issue but the Security Coordinator screamed to me
that there is no difference between my security rights and hers. Any other
groups I belong to have nothing to do with this.

Is there a policy box or a security right that allows or disallows a user to
open or create a new Outlook PST. This user can create, edit and delete Word
documents on her network drives and local PC.

Thank you.

Yes, there is a DisablePST policy setting that blocks most PST use. You can
run Regedit and search for it to see if it's present. If not, then it has
not been enabled.
