Top 3 reasons why PST’s are not supported on over a network:

1. All operations take longer.

2. Write operations can take approximately four times longer than read operations.

3. Outlook has slower performance than the Exchange Client.

The .pst files are not meant to be a long-term, continuous-use method of storing messages in an enterprise environment. Two alternatives are suggested:

1. Using .ost files 

2.Microsoft Windows Terminal Services.

You can manage rules by logging into Outlook Web Access (OWA).

In the OWA options section is where you will find the rules management page. This page allows you to create, edit, delete, and prioritize rules. Rules that have errors will be highlighted in red. Client side rules that require Outlook to complete an action will show up in gray.

Outlook does not archive as expected because the date that is used to determine when an item is archived depends on the type of item.

Yes. Just as with GroupWise, you will be able to share contacts, folders, calendars, etc.

No. Not with any certainty.

Yes. To those who also have Exchange mailboxes, they will see the flagged mail with the followup times and alarms. Other systems may not see those, but should display some indication that they have been flagged.

Step 1)

Open your Microsoft Outlook

Step 2)

Select the File Menu

Step 3)

After the File Menu opens, select Archive.

Step 4)

When the Archive Window appears, select the folders that you want to be archived.

In essence, yes though it is handled differently than you are used to in GroupWise. In Outlook, you would share the calendar with someone. This would cause it to show up in their list of calendars. Click the checkboxes next to the calendars that you would like to view side by side. I will discuss more about sharing calendars in a later tutorial.

Yes there will be. The service used is OCS, which stands for Office Communicator.

While there are many layers of security that protect us from attacks, viruses, worms, etc., we take security very seroiusly and are configuring the system with this in mind.
