Configuring the PST holding folder

The PST holding folder is used as a collecting area for PST files that will be processed by the PST Migrator task. The folder must be a network share, to which the log on account used by the PST Migrator task has Delete access.

The account that you use to configure the PST holding area must have sufficient access to the folder to list it in a selection dialog. Typically, the Vault Service account is used as the log on account by the tasks and when configuring the PST holding folder, but it is possible to specify different accounts.

To configure the PST holding folder

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, display the Enterprise Vault Site Properties.

  2. On the General tab, next to PST Holding Folder, click Change.

    A prompt asks whether you want to browse Regular or Hidden shares.

  3. Select the type of share that you intend to specify for the PST holding folder, and then click OK.

  4. In the Browse for Folder dialog, expand Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network. Expand the required domain and then the server on which the share is located. The list of shares that are displayed contain shared folders to which the account has access.

  5. Select the folder you want to use for the PST holding folder and then click OK.

  6. Click OK to close Site Properties.
