Migrate Local Outlook Archive PST File

Running Outlook 2003 on a W2k terminal server, I'd like to migrate users to a
new w2k terminal server.  Users currently have roaming profiles.  However
users' local archive.pst file does not migrate over when they log in to the
new terminal server.  Is there any way to migrate the local archive.pst file
over?

Pst-files are not part of a roaming profile and for good reasons. One of
them is that logon and logoff time will be much much longer as pst-files are
usually quite big. Impatient users will experience this as an hang and
simply reset the computer instead resulting which could result in a total
loss of the pst-file.

In a managed environment you really don't want to use pst-files. Consider
using a server side archiving solution instead.

thanks for the reply. i would like to have the ability to move archive.pst
files over to new server with roaming profiles - other than manually copying
files over. is there any method to do this?

Just put them in any folder that is included with the roaming profile. Warm
the guy/girl responsible for back-ups and restores first though; he/she is
going to be very busy after that.
