Group policy to stop automatically open outlook PST's
I have accepted that pst's are a part of life here. I have some users that have 10 different PST's that open automatically with outlook. They may not even open the files but because they open them the attributes change and they are backup'ed each night.
Is there a way I can prevent outlook from automatically opening the PST's and make the users open them if they need them?

check the settings here
You can set PST thresholds at User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 | Miscellaneous | PST Settings.
after you have installed ADM files

TheGorby, I agree that the problem is finding a way to close all the PST's when outlook exits. That's the solution I'm looking for.
