Hello Vbking,
Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.
According to your description, I understand that you have some problems to
use the .pst and .ost file in roaming profiles. You get the error message
likes "The path specified for the file C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost is not valid". If I have misunderstood
your concern, please let me know.
In fact, when you enable roaming and specify a network share for roaming
files, certain files and folders are automatically available for users when
they roam to different computers. Files and folders in the location defined
by the environment variable %UserProfile% (on the local computer) roam with
users, with the exception of one folder.
The one folder that does not roam with users in the default roaming
scenario is the Local Settings folder in the %UserProfile% folder. This
exception affects Outlook users because, by default, the file folders for
some Outlook services listed in the following table are created in this
non-roaming folder.
Service name File extension
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
Offline Folders (OST) .ost
Personal Folders (PST) .pst
Personal Address Book (PAB) .pab
Because the files reside in a non-roaming directory, Outlook can see and
open them only on the computer on which they were created. By design,
Outlook uses these files locally.
Note It is not a supported scenario to place PST, OST, or PAB files on a
network share and configure Outlook to access the files remotely.
For detailed information, please refer to the following weblink:

If you have any questions on this issue, please feel free to let me know. I
am glad to be of assistance.
Best regards,
Brandy Nee
