Unicode and ANSI PST Files

[AJ]

Hello All

If I force a bunch of users Outlook Profile to operate in Unicode mode
by using the outlk11.adm admin template will the existing ANSI format
PST file still remain in the profile?

I understand that the OST file will get re-created when synchronised
and the user will get prompted about this, but I'm not sure what will
happen with the existing PST file. Will the user simply get a warning
message when they try to access it, like they would if they attempted
to open an ANSI PST file that was outside of their Unicode profile?

If this is the case then great we can just get the users to migrate
their PST file to a new Unicode PST file inside their existing
profile.

Is this correct, or am I off mark here? any help appreciated.

Thanks

AJ

Nothing will happen to existing .pst files.
