ost files are used by Outlook 2000 and above to store "off line data"
that is these files let u access outlook as if it were still connected
to exchange despite the server being un-available. If the files were
deleted then the only thing u could do is that try and recover. Apart
from that, if you had already integrated his profile when he connected
to the new exchange server, his data should be available off the new
exchange server. All he needs to do now would be to re-build an ost file
using manual synchronization on his system using outlook.
hope this helps

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?
