Knowledgebase moving an ost file Article ID: 000013 Rating: 0.0 / 5.0 (0 votes) Views: 452 In regards to your OST or offline file folder, they didn't make a really easy way to "move" this particular file. When this option is first configured, you are given the option of naming the file and also selecting it's location. If it doesn't find a file that matches what you entered, it will create a new file. This tells me that you should be able to simply make a copy of the OST file and place it wherever you want to store it (and rename it if you like). Go to your Exchange Server email account settings (under TOOLS --> EMAIL ACCOUNTS --> VIEW/CHANGE) and simply DISABLE offline files, save, then go back in and ENABLE offline files again. This time, point it to the new location of the file. It should find it and not try to create a new file altogether. I found another article that says with earlier versions of Outlook and other Exchange email clients, if you simply move the OST file while Outlook is not running, then startup Outlook again, when it can't find the OST file in it's configured location it will bring up a dialog box asking for you to locate the file. You browse to the file and then it stores the new location of the file. I have no reason to believe that this would not still be the case with newer versions of Outlook such as Outlook 2002 (XP).
