Outlook Data Files (.pst) created by using Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016 are typically saved on your computer in the DocumentsOutlook Files folder. If you upgraded to Outlook on a computer that already had data files that were created in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 or earlier, these files are saved in a different location in a hidden folder at drive:UsersuserAppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlook. That’s a right PITA and really strange for the usually user friendly Mac. If you want to try HFS+ compression from the command line – check out here. We found a nifty and cheap tool to use HFS+ compression, but it’s disappeared. Outlook for Mac data folder location. Outlook 2016 for Mac puts the data folders in the users.

Location of Microsoft Files

Do you know where your personal preference files are located? Before Installing or erasing, it's a good practice to backup your personal preferences.

  1. Entourage Database Identity [Your Mail]

Location of Entourage Database

It's important to know the location of your database because your rules, mailing lists, signatures, messages, data, schedules, contacts, tasks, notes, calendar are located in your database.

Entourage 2004: ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/your identity

Entourage X: ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/your identity
Entourage 2001: <Startup Disk>:Documents/Microsoft User Data: Office 2001 Identities:your identity Note: your identity is called Main Identity unless you rename it.

Preference Files for Entourage

Entourage X, 2004 and 2008:

~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.OfficeNotifications.plist

~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.DatabaseDaemon.plist

~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Entourage.plist

~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Entourage Preferences

There are many com.microsoft files. Select your preferences folder in the Finder and search using 'microsoft' to show all the .plist files. As you add preferences to items in Entourage, this list can grow.

Office Settings

AutoCorrect entries (Stored in two locations) The formatted entries are in the Normal template, the office-wide plain-text entries are in the MS Office ACL file.

  1. MS Office ACL file for the language you are using. E.g. MS Office ACL [English].
  2. Normal file (If you specify when creating an AutoCorrect that it should be inserted as 'Formatted' then goes in the Normal template (as an AutoText).)

Office 2011: Microsoft Office ACL [English] located in ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011/

Office 2004 & 2008: Microsoft Office ACL [English] located in ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/

Office X: “MS Office ACL [English]” located in ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/

Office 2001: 'MS Office ACL [English]' located in System Folder>Preferences>Microsoft

Normal

The Normal Template contains toolbar customizations for Word as well as the default settings for every new Word document not based on another template.

Office X: The Normal file is located in the 'Templates' folder in your 'Microsoft Office' folder. Tip: Put your templates in your Microsoft User Data folder, where they won't be touched if you use 'Remove Office', and set the Project Gallery to find them there. Otherwise, “Remove Office” will delete those files.

Office Word 2004 moves the Normal Template to live in the Microsoft User Data folder by default. It does not move the Templates folder. Put your Templates foder in your Microsoft User Data folder, where they won't be touched if you use 'Remove Office', and set the Project Gallery to find them there.

Office 2008 & 2011 moved Normal.dotm to ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/User Templates

This topic discusses Work Folders, a role service for file servers running Windows Server that provides a consistent way for users to access their work files from their PCs and devices.

If you're looking to download or use Work Folders on Windows 10, Windows 7, or an Android or iOS device, see the following:

Role description

With Work Folders users can store and access work files on personal computers and devices, often referred to as bring-your-own device (BYOD), in addition to corporate PCs. Users gain a convenient location to store work files, and they can access them from anywhere. Organizations maintain control over corporate data by storing the files on centrally managed file servers, and optionally specifying user device policies such as encryption and lock-screen passwords.

Work Folders can be deployed with existing deployments of Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and home folders. Work Folders stores user files in a folder on the server called a sync share. You can specify a folder that already contains user data, which enables you to adopt Work Folders without migrating servers and data or immediately phasing out your existing solution.

Practical applications

Administrators can use Work Folders to provide users with access to their work files while keeping centralized storage and control over the organization's data. Some specific applications for Work Folders include:

  • Provide a single point of access to work files from a user's work and personal computers and devices

  • Access work files while offline, and then sync with the central file server when the PC or device next has Internet or intranet connectivity

  • Deploy with existing deployments of Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and home folders

  • Use existing file server management technologies, such as file classification and folder quotas, to manage user data

  • Specify security policies to instruct user's PCs and devices to encrypt Work Folders and use a lock screen password

  • Use Failover Clustering with Work Folders to provide a high-availability solution

New and changed functionality

The following table describes some of the major changes in Work Folders.

Feature/functionalityNew or updated?Description
Azure AD Application Proxy supportAdded to Windows 10 version 1703, Android, iOSRemote users can securely access their files on the Work Folders server using Azure AD Application Proxy.
Faster change replicationUpdated in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016For Windows Server 2012 R2, when file changes are synced to the Work Folders server, clients are not notified of the change and wait up to 10 minutes to get the update. When using Windows Server 2016, the Work Folders server immediately notifies Windows 10 clients and the file changes are synced immediately. This capability is new in Windows Server 2016 and requires a Windows 10 client. If you're using an older client or the Work Folders server is Windows Server 2012 R2, the client will continue to poll every 10 minutes for changes.
Integrated with Windows Information Protection (WIP)Added to Windows 10 version 1607If an administrator deploys WIP, Work Folders can enforce data protection by encrypting the data on the PC. The encryption is using a key associated with the Enterprise ID, which can be remotely wiped by using a supported mobile device management package such as Microsoft Intune.
Microsoft Office integrationAdded to Windows 10 version 1511In Windows 8.1 you can navigate to Work Folders inside Office apps by clicking or tapping This PC and then navigating to the Work Folders location on your PC. In Windows 10 you can make it even easier to get to Work Folders by adding it to the list of locations that Office shows when saving or opening files. For more info, see Work Folders in Windows 10 and Troubleshooting using Work Folders as a Place in Microsoft Office.

Software requirements

Work Folders has the following software requirements for file servers and your network infrastructure:

  • A server running Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2012 R2 for hosting sync shares with user files

  • A volume formatted with the NTFS file system for storing user files

  • To enforce password policies on Windows 7 PCs, you must use Group Policy password policies. You also have to exclude the Windows 7 PCs from Work Folders password policies (if you use them).

  • A server certificate for each file server that will host Work Folders. These certificates should be from a certification authority (CA) that is trusted by your users—ideally a public CA.

  • (Optional) An Active Directory Domain Services forest with the schema extensions in Windows Server 2012 R2 to support automatically referring PCs and devices to the correct file server when using multiple file servers.

To enable users to sync across the Internet, there are additional requirements:

  • The ability to make a server accessible from the Internet by creating publishing rules in your organization's reverse proxy or network gateway

  • (Optional) A publicly registered domain name and the ability to create additional public DNS records for the domain

  • (Optional) Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) infrastructure when using AD FS authentication

Work Folders has the following software requirements for client computers:

  • PCs and devices must be running one of the following operating systems:

    • Windows 10

    • Windows 8.1

    • Windows RT 8.1

    • Windows 7

    • Android 4.4 KitKat and later

    • iOS 10.2 and later

  • Windows 7 PCs must be running one of the following editions of Windows:

    • Windows 7 Professional

    • Windows 7 Ultimate

    • Windows 7 Enterprise

  • Windows 7 PCs must be joined to your organization's domain (they can't be joined to a workgroup).

  • Enough free space on a local, NTFS-formatted drive to store all the user's files in Work Folders, plus an additional 6 GB of free space if Work Folders is located on the system drive, as it is by default. Work Folders uses the following location by default: %USERPROFILE%Work Folders

    However, users can change the location during setup (microSD cards and USB drives formatted with the NTFS file system are supported locations, though sync will stop if the drives are removed).

    The maximum size for individual files is 10 GB by default. There is no per-user storage limit, although administrators can use the quotas functionality of File Server Resource Manager to implement quotas.

  • Work Folders doesn't support rolling back the virtual machine state of client virtual machines. Instead perform backup and restore operations from inside the client virtual machine by using System Image Backup or another backup app.
