. Properties on this page let you configure how often the task should retry a failed operation, and the number of report files to keep.

. Select this option to make the PST Migrator task wait until PST files have a migration status of . If you choose this option, you must set this status manually on each PST file.
. Select this option to make the PST Migrator task wait until PST files have the Ready For Archiving attribute reset. Backup applications typically perform this action.
. As with the PST Locator task, it is advisable to schedule the PST Collector task to run during normal office hours, so that it can access as many computers and PST files as possible (when users' computers are switched on and connected to the internal network). As the site schedule is typically set to run tasks during non-office hours, you probably do not want to run this task according to the site schedule.
. The account under which the PST Collector task runs must have appropriate access to the computers and PST files to be migrated. To ensure that the task has adequate access to all the computers in the domain you can run the task under an account that is a member of the domain administrators ' group. Use the settings on the page of the task properties to specify the account.
