Enterprise Vault provides the following tools for migrating (importing) the contents of PST files to archives:

• Locate and Migrate. This tool locates PST files on users' computers, copies them to a central location, and then migrates them. Unless you have only a few PST files to migrate, Locate and Migrate is likely to require least effort on your part.

• Client-driven PST migration. This tool lets you configure users' computers to locate PST files automatically and copy them to a central PST holding folder. Enterprise Vault then migrates the PST file contents from the PST holding folder to Enterprise Vault archives.

  Client-driven PST migration is useful in the following situations:

  • User computers are available on the network only occasionally.

  • You do not have permission to access PST files on the user's computer.

  • Users need continual access to their PST files.

• Scripted migration using Policy Manager. This tool is useful for performing bulk migrations of PST files, but you need to collect the PST files in a central location.

• PST Migrator wizard-assisted migration. If you have a small number of PST files, this provides a quick and easy way of migrating them to Enterprise Vault.
