Network Stored PST files … don’t do it!
Have you heard the saying that using Microsoft Outlook Personal Storage (PST) files across network is a bad thing? Do you know exactly why this is a bad thing? If not, Shawn Bass pointed me over to the folks at Microsoft’s “Ask the Performance Team” (ASKPERF) to explain why this is a bad idea in great detail. The ASKPERF team states “…the issue will manifest as either a server hang, or PagedPool depletion (Event ID 2020). Oftentimes the issue will occur first thing in the morning - when users are logging on and launching Outlook. In especially severe cases, the issue occurs several times daily. Sometimes the server will hang for a few minutes and then continue operating for a few minutes - and then hang again. Rinse & repeat. The users are frustrated because of slow access to their data, the server administrators are frustrated because they are tasked with fixing the problem, and upper management is frustrated because everyone else is frustrated.” This can especially be a problem in a Terminal Server with roaming profiles and folder redirection.

For store PST file use-ost pst conversion 2003,convert from ost to pst software will convert *.ost to *.pst extension, that can be easily opened by any email client, compatible with Microsoft Outlook,can even forward this file to any other PC within your local network and even outside of it,can process damaged *.ost files, but, when it is heavily damaged, you can see some minor blind spots in a preview window,
export your mailbox to a file with *.pst extension.
