Creating and configuring the PST Locator, PST Collector, and PST Migrator tasks

To use the PST Locate and Migrate tool, you create and configure the following tasks:

PST Locator task. This task searches your network for domains, computers, and PST files. There can be only one PST Locator task in each Enterprise Vault site. (The PST Locator task is not required for Client-driven PST migration).
PST Collector task. This task copies the PST files to a central PST holding folder. There can be many PST Collector tasks in each Enterprise Vault site, but only one PST Collector task per Enterprise Vault server. You need to configure a PST Collector task on each Enterprise Vault server that hosts archives to which you intend to migrate PST files. (The PST Collector task is not required for Client-driven PST migration).
PST Migrator task. This task migrates the contents of the PST files to Enterprise Vault archives. There can be many PST Migrator tasks in each Enterprise Vault site, but only one per Enterprise Vault server. You need to configure a PST Migrator task on each Enterprise Vault server that hosts archives to which you intend to migrate PST files.

To create a PST Locator task

In the Administration Console, expand your site until the Enterprise Vault Servers container is visible.
Expand Enterprise Vault Servers and then expand the server on which you want to add the PST Locator task.
Right-click Tasks and then, on the shortcut menu, click New > PST Locator task.

The New PST Locator task wizard starts.
Work through the wizard to create the task.

To create a PST Collector task

Right-click Tasks and then, on the shortcut menu, click New > PST Collector task.

The New PST Collector task wizard starts.
Work through the wizard.

To create a PST Migrator task

In the Administration Console, expand your site until the Enterprise Vault Servers container is visible.
Expand Enterprise Vault Servers and then expand the server on which you want to add the PST Migrator task.
Right-click Tasks and then, on the shortcut menu, click New > PST Migrator task.

The New PST Migrator task wizard starts.
Work through the wizard.

In this wizard you need to supply the location of a folder that the task can use to hold temporary copies of the PST files during migration. This folder must be on a local drive. The account under which the PST Migrator task runs must have full access to the folder.

Note:

Do not change the location of this folder while the PST Migrator task is running, or while Locate and Migrate is processing PST files.

After you have created a PST Locator, PST Collector, or PST Migrator task, you can configure each task using the task properties. Double-click the task to display the task properties.
