Disabling .PST

[Chad Austin]

Is there any way to completely eliminate the ability for end users in my company from creating .PST files of any format

I do not see this as an option during the custom installation wizard

Any help is greatly appreciated

Beginning with Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Outlook supports a
DisablePst entry of type REG_DWORD in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook registry subkey.

Set the value of DisablePst to 1 to prevent users from creating or opening
Personal Folders (.pst) files.

For more information about this change, see the Microsoft article "OL2002:
The Options to Prevent an Exchange, POP3, IMAP, and Other Server Types
Accounts Are Not Available" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317819).
