Hi Andrew

Just discovered this script looks perfect for what I am foing. I get an error about the remote path not being writable. I see the section of code referencing this but the users home directory is writabke in that i can move files manually. Is there a change I have to make to or file I have to create on the remote path in order to get this working?

FWIW – attaching to PSTs on a network is not supported. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297019/en-us and http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/01/21/network-stored-pst-files-don-t-do-it.aspx

Read answer :

‘ Enumerate PST filesand build arrays
objTextFile.Write(“Enumerating PST files” & vbCrLf)
For Each objFolder in objNS.Folders
If GetPSTPath(objFolder.StoreID) “” Then
count = count + 1
pstFiles = GetPSTPath(objFolder.StoreID)
pstName = objFolder.Name
pstFolder = objFolder
objTextFile.Write(count & ” ” & pstFiles & vbCrLf)
ReDim Preserve arrNames(count)
arrNames(count) = pstName
ReDim Preserve arrPaths(count)
arrPaths(count) = pstFiles
‘objOutlook.Session.RemoveStore objFolder
End If
Next

For Each pstName in arrNames
set objFolder = objNS.Folders.Item(pstName)
objNS.RemoveStore objFolder
Next
set objFolder = Nothing

Did Sebcou ever send out his updated script? Having the same problem where it will only move one PST per script run. Also anybody else have a solution for archive files that have the same file name?

Hi Andrew,

I am looking at your script and trying to strip it down so that it simply opens all the .pst’s found in a particular folder?

I am not a programmer, and am struggling to find a way to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Andrew,
I am having the same issue as the Microsoft Guy.
the problem happens when you try to move a PST file that is already the default mail folder.
do you have a tweak to fix this issue? thanks again

Hello,

in my case the script in here:
if (strChassisType >= 8 And strChassisType <=12) Or (strChassisType = 14) Then

Actually I am looking for a script to place back .pst files from network share to user profile.
Can you help me with that?
You script is amazing but I have some problems with it.

Regards,
Peter
