Hi,

We are working on VMware View 5.1 and the desktops pools are both floating and Dedicated. User are configured with Outlook client for IMAP Gmail account, and once

the configuration is done the size is around 5 times the normal PST size which is configured on the local desktop. Ex= If Local Desktop PST file size is showing =200 MB

the same is showing 5 GB in VMware View VDI floating pool desktop. It is gmail IMAP account.

Let us know why this is happening and any suggestions to the same and it is highly critical as user space is getting more in network share.

Again if any information is required let us know.

Thanks

Ramesh

I can't think of any reason that View would impact the size of that file.   Have you verified that the same configuration, gpo, etc is being applied to the View desktops as it is to the physical desktops.   Also, see this KB to compact the size of the pst to free up space after you have deleted items.

Thanks for the response, we would like to know what type of policy that would have been applied to get this affected.

If the View desktops are operating under a different set of GPOs than the physical desktops I would assume the 'Cached Exchange' mode and 'Download Shared Folders' settings are different between the GPOs.
