Andrew, just more rubbish pouring forth from you. He is trying to do this remotely, not go to each workstation. And why should he remove the title since you do not know how to do something. And what do PST files have to do with Outlook archiving? Yes, Outlook archives are PST files, but the lack of PST files at a particular location does not mean Outlook archiving is not enablel. Why, Outlook itself, unless it is an Exchange MAPI client, uses PST files. Gee, seems like maybe you are the one that needs to change your title.

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.

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.
