What happens when i delete a user's outlook ost file?
If i delete a user's outlook ost file that is 2 gigs what exactly happens when they logon to outlook? Does it re-create the file. If it does is the size 2 gigs again?
Is there a way to remove the ost file from the roaming profile while still allowing them to logon to different computers and be able to open their outlook without any configuring?

The OST file does not roam with the users. If you have set a folder on the server for OST, then there are chances that OST might get corrupted.
Its better to use outlook in online mode if you are using roaming profile. If you have a logon script and PRF file is being deployed all the time, then you need not configure the outlook everytime. The moment user lopens outlook, his profile will be automatically configured
