Dear All,

I am haveing Exchange Enviroment Here in My Network.

All of my users i convert them from using mailbox to use Personal Folder,
and all of the E-mails will be stored locally on the client PC as per our
company Policy.

Now, i want to understand the difrrent between using Personal Folder &
Autoarchive. ?

If i disable the AutoArchive, and depending on the PST, do you think i am
correct or is there any Problem ?

if i did not using Personal folder & used Mailbox, and enable autoarchive,
what is the different between the PST & Autoarchive, ?

3- what will happen if i lost the Pst file, can i use the Autoarchive file
instaed of it ?

thanks & Best Regards,
Medo
 
Archive writes to a PST file that you select or the default one that Outlook
sets. If you lose your PST file then the archive file will only contain past
items that were archived from the default PST file.

Note that using PST files like this with Exchange = EVIL. Server side
backups don't save things, you would need to backup each user. PST files
should not be stored on a network drive, so backup is a real problem. You
lose all the collaboration features of Exchange and PST files are not are
solid as mailboxes and are prone to various problems.

Your company really needs to revisit its policy and consult with someone who
knows Exchange. Whoever wrote that policy is ignorant of Exchange best
practices.
