Change OST File positon.

[KeJiaLi]

Hi,

How can I change my OST(Exchange Server 2007) file positon? By default, in

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook, I want to change it to D:\Myemail this folder.

How can I do this?

Thanks lots.

In your Exchange Account Settings press More Options and here you should
find a box to set the location of the ost-file.

Jus curious; why do you want to relocate this cache?

 

[KeJiaLi]

But my button there is gray!

And that is with Cached Exchange mode turned on? I don't have a Exchange
connection at hand here but you should also be able to change it through the
registry;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\<profilename>

Be careful making changes here or you could end up corrupting your mail
profile and require you to recreate it including your redownloading your
cache file.

Meaning you can fiddle with it if you are confident enough and know how to
restore/rescreate you mail profile in case things go wrong. It's not like
you can cause permanent damage or something but if you can't connect to an
Exchange server right now to rebuild your cache you'd better postpone your
actions ;-)

Still curious; why do you want to change the location? What is wrong with
the default location?

You're welcome!

You mean just the configuration? I wouldn't use any backup tools but create
a prf-file with the settings for your profile.

A prf-file holds the profile configuration for Outlook; mail accounts,
address book services, etc... You can find more info on this in the Office
Resource Kit;
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2003/HA011402581033.aspx

Once you have a template you don't have to be concerned about exporting and
importing rogue registry keys and settings.

The prf-file would be the template file. You can keep that wherever you
want. I have mine in the directory with pst-files which I have set to;
D:\Data\Robert\Documents\Outlook\
