Local PST vs. Exchange Calendar

I have read many of the posts regarding local PST Calendars and Exchange
calendars. I have the following problem:

A local .pst calendar gets created in Outlook. After this occurs, sporadic
meeting requests go to this local version of the calendar instead of the
calendar in my exchange mailbox.

I have checked my Account, and all new mail is still going to my exchange
inbox. I am, however, moving my new email using a rule to a local .pst box
for viewing instead of reading the emails or meeting requests inside the
exchange folder.

As stated in earlier posts from other people, I also cannot delete the
calendar from the local PST and must kill the pst and create a new one to
resolve the problem. After I do that I sometimes go for months without
Outlook creating a new pst calendar against my will. I would simply like to
only have one calendar, the exchange version in my mailbox and not have
Outlook randomly creating calendars in my local pst file.

Can someone help?
 
Outlook only creates a Calendar folder in a .pst file if the .pst is in use as the default information store for a profile. As long as your Exchange mailbox remains the default store, that shouldn't happen.
