Questions: 1. Do we need other settings? Any other idea how to solve this problem? Share this post Link to post. To change the OST file location or redirect the OST file to a shared network drive folder or location, you can follow any of the following methods,.

GPO is a collection of Group Policy settings that define how the system will behave for a group of users. It can be used to define security options, scripts options, installation and maintenance options, and folder redirection option to redirect the OST file to a network shared location. A symbolic link can be used to repoint the OST file location on an external hard drive or network drive location. This is done at the File System level.

However, moving an OST file from its default location to a network drive should be avoided as it can lead to various problems, such as synchronization errors, frequent disconnection due to network-related issues, etc.

This can also lead to OST file damage. Once PST is created, you can store it anywhere and open it in Outlook without worrying about mailbox synchronization or network issue. It also provides some advanced options to reduce OST file size, such as it splits the file or saves the attachments to a different folder.

This will change the policy for all users. From now on, the OST will be created and stored at the defined or entered network shared location. However, it will change the OST location for all users in the particular group where the policy is applied.

Now if you check the default location, you will see a symlink file for the OST file for the user account abc stellarinfo. This can lead to several errors and OST may become inaccessible.
