Change outlook 2007 default data file location

I am looking for a policy for a terminal server to change the default location of the .pst outlook 2007 data file to another location such as the my document redirected location. Does anyone know if there is a group policy i can use to accomplish this?

I know this does not answer you question but you should take a look at this:

I am assuming you are trying to redirect to a file share.
Outlook PST files are automatically defaulted to be saved in My Documents.
If you have already redirected the user My Documents or Home folder.

Now just as if a user created a new document in My Documents, it would be saved in the redirected location the PSt "should" be the same.

I've requested that this question be closed as follows:

Accepted answer: 0 points for zingab's comment #37863621

for the following reason:

GPO has this.
No credit for supplying the location in the Registry which you can change the defualt location of Outlook PST files?

no that is not a viable solution that was proposed, sorry
So, none of info provided to your was helpful in any way and your not going to use GPO or other to Add a registry Key for:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\X.0\Outlook]
"ForcePSTPath"=REG_EXPAND_SZ   X:\New Location of Pst files

If there is another way you have found, that doesnt include any of the information above could you post the details?
