jd20075 Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 We currently have 250 plus workstations storing .pst files on the workstation level. I am looking for a way to pull or copy all these .pst files to one central location, ideally without going to each workstation individually look forward to all ideas
jd20075 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 we have exchange 2010 the pst files are backup of old emails.
synaesthesia Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Simple logoff script that copies said file to a set share? Could add some time to logoff if the files are large but still worthwhile if you really must do that sort of thing.
Geoff Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Why do you have pst files on the workstations? Why not keep the email on the Exchange server where you can back it up straightforwardly.
jd20075 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 have emails stored on exchange server however my predecessor set emails to backup to pst file on local workstation. my goal is to centralize for easier backups
box_l Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Can you not import them to the users mailbox/s, then delete the pst?
psydii Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 DO NOT STORE PST ON FILESERVERS, if they are going to be opened by Outlook clients. Limits to using personal folders (.pst) files over LAN and WAN links Network Stored PST files ... don't do it! - Ask the Performance Team - Site Home - TechNet Blogs I'd tell the users (with a video demo, and step by step web pages/pdf/email, and a show and share session) to copy the mail from the pst to an archive folder in their exchange mailbox. Or spend a few weeks building a custom set of scripts to do it automatically. 1
