Hi, <br />
<br />
Is there a way to automate disabling offline files in Outlook? As far as I know you have to change from cached mode and disable offline files manually. <br />
<br />
For virtual desktops this is not appropriate as OST files are taking up valuable space. We would like to have all virtual desktops running by default in online mode so the OST file is never created.<br />
<br />
Can this be done?<br />
<br />
Setup is<br />
Exchange 2010 SP1<br />
Outlook 2007<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

Exchange OST files on Virtual Desktops

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
