Hello all,

We're struggling with the following issue:

Some of our users create .PST files on their own without checking
where they actually put it. By default it's %userprofile%\local
settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\ and since we're working
in a TS\Citrix environment we choose not to include the local settings
part in the roaming profile. So whenever they log off and log on
again, no more pst.

I've tried looking for GPO settings to prevent them from creating pst
files, but it's not possible in Outlook 2000, that's what i've found
out so far.

So now i'd like to know if it's possible to change that default path
for .PSTs to somewhere else, systemwide. By default to their homedir
instead of the local settings part of their profile.

Anyone with an idea how i can do this?

Thanks

Thanks for the info, but it's not what i was looking for.
This can and will pre-create a pst file for a user, but this does not
prevent the user to create a new pst file.
Creating a pst file is not a problem, the problem is that they simply
click and create their new or additional pst file in a part of their
profile (%userprofile%\local
settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\ )that is not written away
during log off.

anyone else any ideas?
