USMT 2.6 doesn't copy PST Files...

[Gerry Paradis]

Good Day...

I'm currently testing USMT 2.6 for migrating profiles from Windows NT
to Windows XP.

Some of our users here have Archive PST files and for some reason,
when I test USMT 2.6, it doesn't copy any PST files.

Here's the command I'm using.

scanstate \\hostname\share\username /i:sysfiles.inf /i:migapp.inf
/i:miguser.inf /i:migsys.inf /v:1 /user:domain\username

I customized the MigUser.inf to exclude some folders. I thought it was
the problem, so for now, I'm back with the default INF files.

Is there something I'm doing wrong??? Is there something else I need
to add to the INF files??

Thanks in advance

migapp.inf by default only copies the .pst file retrieved from the
outlook profile. You need to add a extra line to copy all .pst files.
I suggest you create an additional template and dont modify the
default microsoft inf files.

Here is template file that copies all .pst files found in a single
users profile

[version]
Signature=$Windows NT$

[IncludeUsers]
domain\username

[Copy This User State]
copyfiles=Outlook Archive CopyFiles

[Outlook Archive Copyfiles]
%CSIDL_PROFILE%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.pst


Note: the last line might have been wrapped by the newsreader

So if i am reading this correctly, i can create a template (like
outlook.inf), use the lines below, but if my pst location is at, say,
D:\outlook\username.pst , i can substitute that in the Outlook Archive
CopyFiles section?
