PST FILE and NTFS Security Problem.

[Stalin]

All my PST files are stored in a folder which security permission is set to
"deny" to "delete Subfolders and Files" and "delete" permissions. I tried to
add the pst files to Outlook 2007, I'm getting the error message "The file
cannot be open". If I remove the "deny" permission, It works fine.

Previously I used Outlook 2003, which it's worked fine even with "Deny"
permission. As per my company policy, I need to set "deny" permission to all
users PST files to prevent users from deleting the pst files accidently.
Please help me to resolve this issue. I'm using Outlook 2007 with SP1 and all
the latest patches. Thanks in Advance.

Are the pst on a local drive or a network drive?

Diana,

Thanks for your reply. My PST files are in network drive. But even it is in
local drive, I'm getting the same error message.

Sorry Brian.... This is the first time I'm using the newsgroup. I don't
where to put my queries. I won't repeat this mistake again. Thanks for your
comments.

Brian,

If a Deny delete permission is given to folder, still new files can be
uploaded to the folder or existing files can be appended. The files inside
the folder can't be deleted or overwrited.

I don't know this for sure, but it appears that adding the Deny Delete
permission to the folder that you're preventing write access to the files it
contains.
