Possible to increase Outlook OST/PST size to 200GB?

Hi all,
I wanted to know per the subject if it's possible to increase the OST/PST limit to 200GB? If so, would anyone be kind enough to post the values so I can amend a reg key?
Thanks

Hi,
There are two format of Outlook data file. In theory, maximum Unicode pst/ost file size is 1TB or 1024 GB. The maximum file size for
ANSI pst is 1.9 GB.
To increase the maximum size of Outlook data file, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832925
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/config/changing-the-default-pst-and-ost-sizes/
Please note, if your Outlook data file is too large, it may cause some unexpected issue. So it's not recommended to create a large Outlook data file.
Hope this helps.

  • ExpressCache & Outlook OST/PST - any performance benefit?

    Hey Guys,
    Any ideas on whether ExpressCache helps with Outlook OST/PST access times?
    These files that range in size from 1-5GB have a huge impact on Outlook usability when it comes to access times and I'm wondering if it's worth removing ExpressCache and partitioning the mSATA hard drive to manually place the Outlook OST and other often accessed data files on the faster partition.
    Any thoughts?

    Hello Joe,
    You can use microsoft utility scanpst.exe or scanost.exe. You can also use exmerge.exe or Recovery storage group to recover corrupted file.
    scanpst.exe. Also called Inbox Repair Tool. This is a free tool installed with your Outlook. It can fix most of the minor errors and corruptions in your PST files. More detailed information can be found athttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/287497
    Try the Recoveryfix for Outlook PST Repair Software, is good to recover all your corrupted Outlook emails like calendars, tasks, appointments, deleted and missing emails and you also seen view the preview of recovered items. It will definitely helps you to
    recover & copy your Outlook archive file. Download from http://www.repairostfile.net

  • Anybody know how to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb?

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb and how to do it? Can plugins running in PSCC handle larger file sizes than CS6?

    Wow, thanks for getting back to me!!
    I am running the latest version of HDR Soft Photomatix Tone Mapping Plug-In - Version 2.2 in Photoshop CS6 on a fully loaded solid state MacBook Air. When I attempt to process files exceeding 250 mb with the plugin I get an error message and the plugin will not work. The plugin works fine with anything south of 250 mb. I have also optimized the performance settings in CS6 for large file sizes.
    The standalone version of HRD Soft’s Photomatix Pro easily processes files well in excess of 300 mb.
    I have contacted Photomatix support and they say that 250megs is simply the max file size that Photoshop will allow to run a plugin with.
    So is there any setting that I’m overlooking in Photoshop CS6 that will allow me to process these large files with the plugin? Or if there is indeed a file size limit for plugin processing in CS6 is the limit higher in CC?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Is it possible to increase the size of my startup partition?

    Hello,
    I need to know if it is possible to increase the size of my startup partition. I have a 320gig drive that I put in my MacMini. I had given my startup partition 100Gig, and then created 2 other partitions. I've since started getting messages that my diskspace was running low and wondered how that could be. Well, upon using Grandprespective I found I have a 45gig .sparsebundle file, which I believe is related to my use of FileVault. I had tried to turn off File Vault, but it then tells me that I don't have enough space to turn it off. My thinking, if it wasn't taking up so much space I wouldn't have that problem to begin with......
    So then I thought I might be able to adjust the size of my startup partition, but after I shrink the size of the partition next to it, it still will not let me shrink the size of my start up partition.
    Is it not possible to decrease the size of a startup partition?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Don't partition.
    Off load files to another drive.
    Clone and backup and then restore to a single HFS+ partition.
    Partitions either don't work, get in the way, or you/I have to be ready to redo them.
    Now, there may be a 3rd party program you can buy, but I'm not sure and of course you should not try anything without backups.
    First thing that comes to mind would of course be "iPartition" but as I said, never used or read anything on.
    The other, to buy yet again another larger or 2nd drive.

  • Is it possible to increase the size of the menu bar?

    My friend just got a nice new 27" iMac. On such a large display the menu bar disappears into oblivian when you sit far enough back to actually use such a large display. Is it possible to increase the size of the top menu bar? I had a look around at preferences and couldn't find anything.
    Thanks in advance
    SR

    In short, no. Just found five or six threads asking this. Here's one.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2602785?threadID=2602785&tstart=45#12374829
    And, zooming the screen is a non-starter, because when you do that the menubar disappears entirely.

    I see, in Finder you have the ability to see things in multiple views. I would very strongly recommend you use the Find Out How Video tutorials , specifically Finder Basics. You can increase the font size in any view by clicking the View menu - Show View Options where you can increase the font size.

  • Outlook.ost file corrupted , scanpst & scanost did not help

    Hi, 
    Exchange server 2003 SP2 
    Microsoft Outlook 2003 
    The PC hosting the Outlook profile was formated 
    Its hard drive was attached as a slave to another PC 
    Data recovey software was able to recover the Outlook.ost file (possible with errors).Showed the file in a $$$named-folder 
    ost2pst.exe did not work (error 01110....) . Seems in-compatible with Outlook 2003 
    Recovery for exchange 2.0 reported a corrupted ost file
    Any ideas please? 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    For Exchange account/OST file, you really don't need to repair or convert it to pst to recover the data.(don't be taken in to use any of the recovery/convert-softwares which you might see below)
    Actually your data/messages are still there on the server, as suggested by
    <Ed> and <Keith> above, all you need to do is to configure your account again and let Outlook re-build the OST file.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Office365 - OST download size and managing it.

    We have 400 users and we are using Microsoft Office365 Enterprise (E3).  The mailbox size of few users more than 25GB (Just 3 months data).
    If the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth. In case more than 3-4 users shift per day, all other users experience slow internet access.
    I have read the performance blog:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/01/21/network-stored-pst-files-don-t-do-it.aspx
    So, will not be trying to re-direct OST/PST files to network location.
    Requesting some experts advise to overcome this problem.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If your mailbox is large, a larger OST file is needed to download to your Outlook when changing your computer. When you don’t want to use Outlook in Online Mode as a workaround, I suggest we can try the following method to manage your OST file:
    1. Delete Items or archive items in your mailbox to reduce the size of the Exchange mailbox.
    2. Manually compact OST files to eliminate deleted item space in Outlook:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289987/en-us
    3. Limit the amount of email synced to your OST by using a filter to restrict items.
    For more information about these methods, please refer to the following KB:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2007/12/17/3404552.aspx
    Additionally, since the issue is related to Office365 and this forum focuses on Exchange 2013, I suggest we can ask a question in
    Exchange Online forum for more professional answers.

    Hi,
    You can increase the buffer size by using the property bufferTime of NetStream Object you are using. For eg: if ns is your NetStream Object then it can be done by ns.bufferTime=<desired value>.
    Also you can go through this

  • How to recover outlook ost error messages?

    my outlook ost files does not work what i do? How to access my outlook ost file again any please gives any solutions to easily access and convert ost file into outlook?

    First of all, I just wonder what is your meaing of "does not work", whether you can still access the data in the OST file, but get some error messages, or you cannot access the data at all? Based on different cases, you should use different solutions and
    will save you a lot of time and money.
    Without mor specific information, I have to give out general advices here:
    There are several methods to convert OST file to PST file.
    First, Microsoft does not provide an official tool to do the conversion. However, if you can access the contents of the OST file in your Outlook, then you can perform the conversion manually, as follows:
    1. Start Outlook. Make sure you can access all the contents in the OST file to be converted.
    2. Create a new PST file.
    3. Go to the OST file, select and copy all the contents to be converted with your mouse.
    4. Go back to the new PST file, then paste all the contents into the PST file
    That will do the conversion.
    You can also perform the conversion by export the contents of the OST file to a PST file by following the instructions at:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/export-outlook-items-to-an-outlook-data-file-pst-HA102534110.aspx
    Second, if you can access the Exchange server containing the account data for the OST file, then you can use Export-Mailbox command to export the data into a PST file, similar to convert your OST file into a PST file. Below is the article about doing that:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964.aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc535123.aspx
    Third, if you cannot access the OST file via Outlook, neither can you access the Exchange Server, then you can refer to Outlook MVPs' website discussing about this issue:
    http://www.slipstick.com/problems/pst-repair/convert-an-exchange-offline-file-ost-to-a-personal-file-pst/
    Forth, there are many third-party OST to PST conversion tools you can try, below is a list of them:
    http://www.datanumen.com/exchange-recovery/compare.htm
    Nearly all these tools provide a free trial so you can try first to see if a tool works before purchase it.
    Good luck!

  • Outlook OST file become large

    Hi,
    My mailbox about 3GB, but the OST file size seems 38GB.
    After recreate new OST, it grow very fast back to very huge file size.
    Any idea of this?

    Hii,
    MS Outlook File grows as you create and receive items. Sometimes user of MS outlook encounter an error that OST file exceeded its default maximum file size while sending
    and receiving emails. Deleting some data item from OST file might not decrease the file size in proportion to the data that you deleted. 
    To reduce the size of ost file you can either use Synchronization Filter method or you can
    compact the size of ost file on advanced tab settings of exchange account. Synchronization filter Method restricts particular data items to be synchronized from exchange mailbox to ost thereby reducing the size of ost file at some extent.
    Steps to be followed for Synchronization filter method,
    Right click on folder and click
    properties
    Click synchronization tab and then click
    Filter
    Now provide the appropriate criteria for filtering that you want according to what data items should arrive in folder.
    Click Ok and open outlook now
