Answer» Is there any tools, batch or script that would allow me to point the location where all a users PST files are kept and will map those
pst files at one time rather than mapping each and every pst file one at a time.
(Example) If the users has multiple PST files mapped in Outlook where they store emails based on certain criteria, many of the users have 10, 20 and
even 50 individual PST files mapped in Outlook. All of the users PST files are store in COMPUTER local drive.
Does anyone know is there such a freeware utility, or is there any batch and script file to be ABLE to execute the task?
Seen this DONE with group policy... more at the link
https://www.msoutlook.info/question/370DaveLembke, as I does not wish to modify group policy in registry. I would like to map all user email archives from outlook at one time, rather then having to map every email archives one at a time.
Any ideas how can this be done.
Group Policy would allow for you to make 1 change to group policy that affects all users as part of that group. No registry hacking at each computer required. When they login to the network and inherit group policy they will be mapped to the same location. You would not have to do this one at a time, users just would need to reboot COMPUTERS and when logging back on the new policy takes affect and problem solved. The link I shared shows many ways of pulling this off not just with GP.
Quote Setting the default via Group Policy
In a corporate network environment, setting the default location for pst- and ost-files is usually something you want to set via Group Policy. You can find the setting under:
Microsoft Outlook <version> –> Miscellaneous-> PST Settings
Default location for OST files
Default location for PST files
When your users use multiple computers for which the location of the ost- or pst-file should be different as well (for instance, the location for these files should depend on whether they use a Desktop or a Laptop computer), then you can either place these devices in separate OUs and assign the different policies at OU level or place them in separate groups but in the same OU and use Group Policy filtering instead.
Is there anyway to create a batch file or script or a program which can map all the users outlook email archive (.PST) at one time, instead of editing regedit and change the settings of outlookA batch would have to inject registry settings to alter each computer. And its way more involved and dangerous than group policy configuration.how about any softwares?Im not AWARE of any software that does this as for most people use the free or readily available methods. Only software I know of for PST files is a PST reader called PST Walker that allows reading of PST files without Outlook installed but thats NOT what you need.
