OST Import

J

JayJP

Hi,

I need to import emails from existing OST to the new OST (of same account).
The situation is as follows:

1. While working as a contract employee for my firm I was given a user name
and was using the exchange server for email communication.
2. I had the OST on my machine.
3. My contract was renewed with the same account after expiration of the
current account. But this was delayed due to internal administration
processes.
4. During the delay my user account was disabled in AD and the mailbox was
removed form exchange.
5. Now when the account is enabled and I logged in to my machine (same
machine) I got an empty mailbox on exchange.
6. Due to the above reason I want to import the emails form the OST to my
current account.
7. I feel that as the account is same, I should be able to use the same OST.
However, in the system, I observed that a different profile was created when
I logged in after contract renewal (for example earlier it was just the
<username> but not a new profile with name <user>.<domain> was created. I am
not sure if the account was disabled or deleted and re-created due to this.

Please suggest a way to import the messages from OST in this case.

Thanks

administration processes.

If you have not removed the original Exchange account from Outlook, you can
run Outlook in Offline mode and have access to the contents of the OST. You
can then create a PST and copy that data to the PST.

You do not have to create a new OST, since the new Exchange account will
create one for you. You can copy the data in the PST to your mailbox.

If you have removed the account, the only way to recover it is by using
system restore. Go back before you removed the acct and work offline, export
the ost to a pst then connect to exchange.

If the system restore doesn't go back far enough, you'll need to fork over a
few bucks to convert the ost.
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/repair2gbpst.asp has some tools which will
recover the data if the profile is not available.










** Please include your Outlook version, Account type, and Windows Version
when requesting assistance **

some of the tools there will recover data from ost files - kernel tool has
an ost version, pst walker does ost.

Hi All,

Thaks for all the help. I verified with the admin team and they informed me
that the account was deleted and re-created (part of the processes :( )

I will need to get the third-party solution in that case.

Thanks again,

JayJP

You can import data from OST files but the data so imported will be saved in PST file format. owing to this, you will be able to access the data with MS Outlook. Use Kernel for OST to PST conversion tool to perform OST to PST conversion easily and accurately. This tool will help you extract data from an orphan OST file.
