How can move 3000 users .PST files to a read only NAS ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Arghh.. Please MVP's I need your help

Last year we upgraded to Exchange 2003. 2 companies merged to form a
new one. (not a take over)

So we had no upgrade option other than creating as it happened a new
domain name, servers etc.

In order for people to access their old emails we exported them from
each of the 2 old exchange servers.

This has left us with 3000 pst files. Unknown to me until recently the
server where the pst's reside had it permissions so that people could
add/delete from their PST files. This was not what was agreed and I now
have to change this. But I since discover that it was changed because
Outlook cannot open READ-ONLY .pst files.

I now need a way to move forward to make them read only. I am happy to
explore any 3rd party utilities. My requirements are quite simple.

I already am looking through slipstick but am not sure which will work
if any
