Running the PST Migrator task

The PST Migrator task archives the contents of PST files that are in the PST holding folder to Enterprise Vault archives. There can be many PST Migrator tasks in your Enterprise Vault site. The task archives the contents of PST files that have a status of "Ready to migrate".

If you configured the PST migration to wait for the PST files to be backed up before the PST Migrator task archives the contents (in PST Collector task properties), then the PST file status may be displayed as "Ready to back up". The status changes automatically after the files have been backed up.

To run the PST Migrator task

  1. In the Tasks listing of the Administration Console, right-click the PST Migrator task and, on the shortcut menu, click Start.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Right-click the task and then, on the shortcut menu, click Run Now.

    • Wait for the scheduled run time for the PST Migrator task.

  3. When the file contents have been archived, the PST file status is displayed as "Ready for post-processing".

    When the PST Migrator task has successfully finished processing the PST file, the file status is displayed a "Complete".

    If a problem prevents the task from completing an operation, details are displayed in the Failure text box of the PST file properties in the Administration Console. You can also check the report file that is generated during the run.
