For the 20+ in attendance at last night San Diego NPA session….thank you! 

Here are the slides from the session. In the slides are links to some of the items discussed. Please let me know if there is a link missing or if you need more info.

Some great questions emailed to me (during the session!) –

Can the dictionary used by OWA be updated/swapped/modifed?

No. At least not a method that Microsoft provides or supports. However, I did some searching and found a commercial product that extends OWA Functionality. One piece of it is managing the OWA Dictionary. It isn’t the only one either. Link 2     Link 3

Is there a quick and dirty means of telling what version of a .PST you have (ANSI or Unicode)?

Yes. I literally just figured it out too!

Pst

To figure out the version you have, view the properties of the PST in question, click advanced, and then check the “Format:“ field. The one shown clearly states (97–2002) which is the ANSI version with the 2 gig limit. If it simply reads “Personal Folders File” it is the Unicode format that will hold 20 gigs or more.

This is also the screen where you can rename your PST file from “Personal Folders” to something more intuitive if you have multiple PST files.
