PST Not supportive Over LAN or WAN

There are several reasons of PST corruption like virus attack, application malfunction etc. In this respect another reason is the not supportive nature of the PST over LAN and WAN. If you try to do this then there are probable chances of PST corruption and need of PST recovery.

The PST file is only considered to be used as to maintain the copy of the e-mail messages on the local hard drive and not be used as the Enterprise network solution.

The PST file uses the file access drive method (i.e. special file access commands are used by the OS to read and write the data) for storing the messages. On the other hand in the LAN and WAN environment, network access driven method is used. In this, the OS is commanded to send and retrieve data from other systems in the network. For the remote PST, MS Outlook will try to use the file commands while the OS will use the network commands and so lots of time will be used to read or write the data. If while using on the LAN or WAN, the connection fails then this results into the corrupted PST.

Thus the trend of using the PST files over the network either on the LAN or WAN is not a recommended way to access the PST files at all. This is not the purpose for which the PST has been designed by the Microsoft.

The corruption of the PST in any case is overwhelming as the file may be the repository of some critical information in the form of the e-mails, contacts, tasks, notes, calendar and others. Fortunately for any kind of help in which PST has undergone corruption due to any cause PST recovery software are designed.

These are the software which holds the capability to run the powerful algorithms so as to fetch the data and thus repair Outlook PST. Offering the capability to the users to work easily via the interactive interface, these software are the well-built tools for the PST repair for different versions of MS Outlook.
