This needs to be done in the .prf file for configuring the user's profile.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;836755
However, Microsoft does not support putting .pst files on network drives, so
you might want to rethink your approach. Accessing a .pst file over a LAN or
WAN connection requires a great deal of overhead; according to Microsoft,
write operations can take four times as long as read operations. In
addition, if a problem occurs with the network connection, the .pst file may
be damaged.
