Question : Personal folder on network drive keeps disconnecting every couple of weeks

Each user has a computer and a couple network drives on it. One of the network drives is their own personal store. We advise them to keep their PST files with their saved mail on there so the main mailbox doesnt take up room on the exchange server. In outlook each person has their main mailbox and a saved mail folder, which links to their network drive. One users PST file keeps unlinking from outlook and has to be manually added every 2 or 3 weeks. This has been going on for months now.

Answer : Personal folder on network drive keeps disconnecting every couple of weeks

Hi,

How large is the personal folder file? MS actually don't support PST files being saved/accessed  via network shares. Are you able to create a new PST file for them to use and monitor what happens?
