Move PST process

Hello Taft,

There are a couple of options when working with PST's, but these are for only for post-activities:

1) Delete files

If you select this option, then a warning message appears: Not all data may be archived because this activity does not support all item types supported by mail files. This activity only processes email messages, so deleting the PST or NSF file could result in the loss of any other data types in the mail file. 

2) Keep files

If you selected the Keep files option:

a.  To specify the destination of the PST files or NSF files, do one of the following steps:

- To move the files to another location, select the Move to the following location checkbox, click the Browse button, and specify the location.

- To keep the files in their current location, clear the Move to the following location checkbox (default).

b.  To specify whether or not the files should be read-only, do one of the following steps:

- To make the files read-only, select the Mark read-only checkbox.

- To retain the current permissions on the files, clear the Mark read-only checkbox (default).

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Brad

Thank you very much for the answer but I'm just a little confused here. You say that these are post activities. Please be more specific. WHERE are you saying we can choose the move. In your answer #2 Part A you state we can

Exactly where is this in the post activities. I don't see this anywhere in the SourceOne. Please let me know exactly where this is. Screen shot would be great too.

thanks.

Greetings,

Sourceone will move the .pst after processing to centralized location. Please refer to Rajan Katwal Screen Shot.

There is not process or activity where it will move the .pst before processing the messages in the .pst.

Thanks Ajay. I saw that. I appreciate it.

Be aware, that if You choose to move the files postmigration, then the files must all have a unique name, else the move will fail.

This is an issue, as in most environments the pstfiles have the default name from Outlook.
