Script Example: Extract MSG Files From PST's

Post by CyberCitizen » Mon May 06, 2013 7:03 am

Working for a company they wanted a way for users to extract PST files of former employees to folders that could be stored on a network share. These then became archives and searchable by anyone with the correct group memberships.

PST files can only be opened by one person at one time & normally require the user to disconnect the PST file & close Outlook before it could be accessed by someone else.
