Dealing with pst files on local hard drive
 

Hi,
I just started new in this organization and we are not supposed to
have any pst files on HDD. After i ran a SMS report i found 1800 pst
files on various computers and most computers had multiple pst files.
I also found that several users login to the computer and the pst
files are saved anywhre from c:\temp to c:\mydata folder.
Because of the sheer number of pst files it is not possible for
helpdesk to visit every computer and migrate the file to a shared
drive and modify the profile to reflect the change. I need to get all
the pst files off the local computer and on the network.

Has anyone else faced this situation before. How has this been
handeled. If this is not the right forum to post this question then
please let me know

MS does not support the use of pst files over a network as it can lead to
corruption
