 +
 +=== Symlink Method ===
 +
 +Perhaps as an administrator:
 +
 +  - **Create a new directory/structure** on the destination disk drive to hold the user's local cache
 +    - **Adjust permissions** so that user, and administrators, can access the directory/contents
 +  - M**ove the user's .OST file** to the new location
 +  - **Create a symbolic link** from the old file/location to the new
 +  - **Start Outlook**
 +    - If any problems, close Outlook and check permissions
 +
 +As the user whose .OST file we are moving, create the symlink at a command prompt:
 +
 +<file>
 +mklink "C:\Users\<profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\<username>@<domain.tld>.ost" "E:\Users\<username>\Mail\<username>@<domain.tld>.ost"
 +</file>
