Quick question does Exchange 2007 have any pst archive solution so the users aren't storing these files locally. Pst's we can centrally manage and back up would be key. If not exchange, are there other 3rd party solutions? Thank you for the feedback Gentleman

Mimosa Systems has some excellent solutions for all types of archiving issues within Exchange. http://www.mimosasystems.com/ I don't work for the company but have recommended it many times.

Thanks, would you also know if Exchange has any native capapbilties in regards for .pst managment ?? thanks!

We use Exmerge to backup data to PST before exchange 2007, now, "export-mailbox" has replaced it, this cmdlet can transfer data to PST file in an easy way. (one command will do the task) Please view the following article to learn about it: Exchange Server 2007 Export Mailbox Intro http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/11/28/431669.aspx How to Export Mailbox Data http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964(EXCHG.80).aspx Related article: How to Import Mailbox Data http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691363(EXCHG.80).aspx

Use Edgesafe PST2PST backup from Datamills which enables you to automatically, transparently, and centrally managed to secure an updated backup of all users' PSTs.
