Client end Vault cache storage path to be changes from C:\ drive to different drive?

[Ezakial]

Hi ,

I need clarification on client side vault cache location.

As the per Vault cache policy the default vaule - 10% of the unused disk space to limit the vault cache size.

If the client PC has sufficient disk space on D drive , can we change the path to D drive?

Kindly clarify

yes you can change the path. here's a technote that describes how to do it:

What might be worth mentioning is that the vault cache is really "managed PST" files that are not secured, just renamed to .db

So if you have people sharing machines with one another and someone is clever/know about it, they can change the .db to .pst and open the file.

Not saying this is normaly a huge issue but it's worth having in mind.

By default they end up in the user profile directories, which unless you're an administrator on the local machine you can't reach other users files.

not much different from outlook's ost file in that way.
