Clogging network Outlook .pst files

Hi, we have a virtualized environment by which some VDI have been created to accommodate Windows 7 and there is a storage server resides on a different server hardware. The problem is when a user opens Outlook and downloads its .pst file from the storage server (quite large, approximately 500 MB), the rest of the users were almost impossible to download their bandwidth because network is virtually taken over by the first user. Is there a way for Outlook perform a kind of network optimization so as not to create a congestion on the network (perhaps by some sort of file compression, for example)?

Or if anyone has tried running the storage server on the same server where the rest of the resident VDI? If yes then there is an improvement in this regard?

Hi Raven,

Welcome to the Community Forums of Microsoft, you have any questions about storage server. I suggest you to report the issue in the Technet forum for assistance:

    original title: where is the location of the Outlook.pst file in Windows 7?

    I want to copy my Outlook.pst to my desktop (Windows XP Pro) data to my laptop.  Outlook displays the outlook.pst file which will be located in the "C:\Users\Specific User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook" folder on my laptop.  However, when I try to access this folder in Windows Explorer, the AppData folder does not appear in the user specific folder.  I find in my office because Windows XP does not hide it, but he must hide in the Windows 7 operating system on my laptop.  How can I get it so that I can copy the file outlook.pst from my desktop to my laptop?  If the file is hidden, is there an easier way to copy outlook data from one computer to another?

    Is the Outlook.pst file saved by default in Windows 7 backup and restore include all of Outlook's personal folders, including the contacts list? And what is the difference between a personal address book and Contact list?

    The .pst file contains ALL of your Outlook data. Folders, e-mail, Contacts, calendar, Journal, and tasks.
    Depending on your version it can also contain rules as well.

    Outlook has not used a "personal address book" for at least TEN years.
    If you have one, copy all the contacts in the Contacts folder and use instead. If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog
