Stored WHAT on a network drive? The .pst files? If so, that's not recommended.
.pst = bad (assuming you're using Exchange)

I reccomend that you store the PST files locally then have a scheduled local task that copies them to the server.
Using PST files directly across the network opens yourself up to some dangerous possiblities, way too many times I have seen a PST file corrupt that was open over the LAN/WAN due to a short connectivity loss.
If you are using Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, you could setup a GPO and enable "Folder Redirection", have the users save their PST files to My Documents>Outlook and when they logoff it automatically gets synced by the OS.
