Exchange administrators must maintain the security and availability of their Exchange 2007 organization's mailbox data. Spam, viruses, hackers and equipment problems are considered serious threats to Exchange mailboxes. But another, often over-looked, culprit deserves some attention. Allowing users to retain email messages in .PST files may be the most harmful threat to Exchange Server 2007 mailbox data.

This best practices guide explains how .PST files pose a threat to Exchange 2007 mailboxes, how to prevent .PST file storage, move these files to an Exchange information store and how to lock down Microsoft Outlook 2007 to keep users from accessing .PST files. Plus, you'll learn how to set up messaging records management (MRM) in your Exchange 2007 environment for secure message retention.
