Here is what I learned at work today.

• Outlook 2003 by default saves mail and calendar appointments to .pst files instead of the server.
• Outlook 2007 by default saves mail and calendar appointments to the server.
• When installing a new PC for the VP of IT make sure you copy the .pst file from the old pc running Outlook 2003 before you take the PC away from him. That way he doesn't have to wait for you to boot it up at another network drop and move the files to his new PC running Outlook 2007.

Now that you know what I learned you won't look like an idiot in front of the a VP.

It wasn't too bad really. The VP and I both started with the company on Monday and realize we each have things to catch up with. I am so used to having Outlook keep data on the server instead of the PC that I never thought to see if a .pst file was being used. The VP didn't think of it either and we both wound up confused. Luckily the MS Exchange Server admins pointed out my mistake without making me look like an idiot and made sure everything was done right.
