The profile that was deleted with just the Outlook profile. I have a
copy of the OST and associated files. I'm just not sure how I can open
the them and so the data can be exported.

I assume that you deleted the user profile off of his machine
(or are you speaking of the outlook profile). Could the OST files have
been placed in a seperate location than under his profile. As a rule, I
always put Outlook files in a folder on the root in the event a profile
is corrupted I still have access to the PST, OST and any other files
used in Outlook. Do a search for the OST files and see what happens.
If you have no luck, I would recommend trying a recovery utility through
dos to recover the files.
If you only recreated his Outlook profile, you should be able to
find the OST file under his User profile in NT/XP/2000 where it is
created as a default.

OST..offline storage files it's the files which are used
when a laptop is offline to a user can read/send email while on the
travel. Then when back in the office they sync up with the server.

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?
