Archive.pst could not be found message when using roaming profile.

[LV]

When I log in to a computer using a roaming profile(winxp) I open outlook
2003 and get a message saying "archive.pst could not be found" .

I click ok then another window pops up so that I can point it to where it
is located but I just click on cancel and then all of my emails show up and I
can use outlook normally. We use Exchange server and outlook is set to use
cached mode.

It only happens when I initially open outlook on a different machine but is
there a way I can prevent this from happening?

Yes, don't use pst-files when you are in an Exchange environment.
Pst-files are for local storage only and because of their size they are not
included in Roaming Profiles.

Thanks. I guess I will tell my users to just click ok then cancel whenever
they get that message.

And disable AutoArchive as a policy. Otherwise when they archive their
messages will be be archived across multiple PCs.
