RE: OST files

The server the user was on doesn't exist on my network so I can't move
or open the mailbox on that server.  Since I deleted the Outlook profile
I can no longer open the OST file.  I was able to use the OfficeRecovery
demo...it showed the info but the data says "the eval recovery worked
but to see the emails you have to get the real thing".  So now I have
find out if it's worth spending the $500 to get it.  Hrmph.

        Like I mentioned earlier on this topic, I'd never heard of OST
files before this issue.
        
        But...
        
        If the OST store is merely an offline cache so you can browse
your server mailbox when not actually connected to the server, then that
implies that when you are connected to the server your OST file is
redundant and is therefore not used. So... why do you need to get the
OST file back? Isn't whatever was in the OST file still in the user's
mailbox, which has been moved to the new server?

        I bought a program from OfficeRecovery.com and saved all the
info that was in an ost file. You are not able to open them like any
ordinary pst file.

        eric,

            Where did the user store the ost? by default they are
located in  C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost. These are not
stored in the priv.edb.

                Never heard of OST files. Native Outlook file format is
PST files, is this what you meant? These are not saved in any special
way, they're just files on the disk. If you did indeed delete his old
profile I would suggest you lock down that hard drive ASAP. Get it out
of that machine and put in another and run some file recovery utilities
on it. Don't let the space get overwritten by new files or the old files
are gone for good.

                I have a user that was part of another domain and
recently came into ours.  On the old domain, he used OST files.  When he
came in, I added him to the domain and created a new email profile to
the server.  Not knowing he had the OST files, I deleted the old
profile.  Then come to find out he needs the info that was stored in the
OST files.  He is running Outlook 2000.  Any suggestions on how to
extract the data?
