Rather than go through the hassle of moving the .pst files to a local drive
(I know .pst files are unsupported on a network but my agency has been doing
this without corruption for over a decade), why not just create a non-office
profile, put his exchange account into that profile, and let it rebuild the
..ost before letting him out of the building?

You will keep the network backup for the .pst files and since he is only
using an offline cache of his exchange mailbox, his data is safe on your
exchange server.

After furious head scratching, NGReader asked:

| I have a notebook user that has a complaint about when outlook opens
| while he is off network. While he can access his cached ost file
| ,He has several archive pst files that are on the network which he
| cannot access..
| It gives hime the message that it can not access(several) and
| sometimes locks up while he fumbles through the process. What
| would be the best way to handle this. Create a seperate profile for
| out of network?
| move his pst files to local machine and synchronize when online?
| run as is with no prompts?
| This guy is a bit impatient - to put it lighlty -10-12 cups of high
| octane coffee a day

| thanks for any suggestions-
