Hi Robert, 

 

It might be wise to remove "Email Administrator" from your title since I
don't know how to access the .pst files under Windows XP. 

 

On the machine or machines that you are trying get the .pst file from
you need go under Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> (click on) Show
hidden files and folders -> (click on) OK

 

Open C:

 

(go into) Documents and Settings -> {username of choice} -> Local
Settings (hidden) -> Application Data (hidden) -> Microsoft -> Outlook
(.pst files are stored here)

 

If there are no PST files there could be a chance that Outlook's auto
archive is disabled.

 

Andrew

Subject: Soka|discover pst files on local drives

 

Hello All,

  I'm looking for suggestions/directions on how to discover Outlook pst
files on local hard drives on computers on our network.  The files all
have the extension .pst; all computers are Windows XP;  we'd check "C"
and "D" drives.

  I've tried using "NET USE X: \\computer\c$ <file:///\\computer\c$>
password /USER:domainadmin@xxxxxxxx", with my domain admin user, yet
this fails with "System error 1326 has occurred.  Logon failure: unknown
user name or bad password."   Seems this is not the way to go.

Thanks, Robert
