Veritas Enterprise Vault™ PST Migration

Adding multiple computers or PST files

Enterprise Vault's PST migration cmdlets add individual computers as locate and migrate PST migration targets, or individual PST files for migration. To add multiple computers or PST files in a single operation, you can use the Import-Csv PowerShell cmdlet and CSV files that contain all the computers or files and their associated parameters.

To add multiple computers, construct CSV data in the same format as that used when you add multiple computers in the Administration Console.

See Adding computers for PST searching.

To add multiple PST files, construct CSV data in the same format as that used when you add multiple files in the Administration Console.

See Adding PST files for migration.

You can pipe the data that Import-Csv reads from a CSV file to the appropriate PST migration cmdlet. For example:

Import-Csv C:\files.csv | Add-EVPstFile

This reads data from C:\files.csv and pipes it to the Add-EVPstFile cmdlet.

By default, Import-Csv passes each value from the CSV data as a string. However, when you use the Add-EVPstComputer cmdlet, you must pass the -EnableSearch as a Boolean.

If you use Add-EVPstComputer with Import-Csv, you must convert the -EnableSearch value from the CSV data to a Boolean. For example:

Import-Csv c:\computers.csv | % { $_.EnableSearch = [bool]([int]$_.EnableSearch ); $_ } | Add-EVPstComputer
