Guest bothan25 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 trying to copy users pst's to network drive and getting this error after 20 or so minutes. deleted as many emails as possible and ran scanpst and compression. pst still at about 1.1G so that probably has something to do with it. please advise. thx.

The size of the PST file shouldn't be much of an issue for that message. It tends to refer to the length of the path you're copying to or from. Try mapping drives to get the shortest possible path for both source and destination, then retry the copy. HTH -pk

You are aware that Microsoft does not support pst files on a network drive?
Guest bothan25 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Re: path too deep Yep, it's for a temp move. She's in a new dept and this is just for a transfer.

I run into this problem quite a lot if my router has been up and running for several days. It occurs when I try to transfer graphics files between my desktop computer and my wife's laptop via a wireless router. The length of the path isn't a factor because I have tried it from root directory to root directory and having the files with single letter + extension as names (4 letters in total) and I would still get the "path is too deep" message. A reset of the router and I could transfer the files from any directory. Non-compressed data files pose no problem at all for whatever reason. Try resetting your router (by disconnecting the power) and see what happens....you may have to reboot your computer.
Guest bothan25 Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: path too deep Yes i've heard of that resolution too, however, the large financial institution that i work for would not be too happy if i reloaded our MAN ring rtr. I would have larger problems at that point :) As a work around I've decided to burn a copy of the pst files to disk and send it to her. Done and done :) "Bogey Man" wrote: > "bothan25" <bothan25@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:04C8BBCF-D148-4093-BFB1-2D6834294298@microsoft.com... > > trying to copy users pst's to network drive and getting this error after > > 20 > > or so minutes. deleted as many emails as possible and ran scanpst and > > compression. pst still at about 1.1G so that probably has something to do > > with it. please advise. thx. > > I run into this problem quite a lot if my router has been up and running for > several days.
