Adding computers for PST searching

Computers that have been found on the network are listed under Personal Store Management > Computers in the Administration Console. You can also add the computers that you want to the PST Locator task to search for PST files in one of the following ways:

  • Add a single computer.

  • Add multiple computers using a CSV file.

To add a single computer to search for PST files

  1. In the Administration Console, expand Personal Store Management > Computers.
  2. Right-click and select Add > Single on the menu.
  3. In the Add computer to search for PST files dialog box, browse to add the computer.
  4. Next to Associated mailbox, click Browse to select the mailbox from a list of those available. You can leave Associated mailbox blank if required.
  5. Select the Search this computer when PST Locator task runs check box to enable searches of the computer when the PST Locator task runs.

To add multiple computers to search for PST files

  1. Specify details of the computers that you want to add in a CSV file, each on a separate line, in the following format:

    Name,Mailbox,EnableSearch

    Where:

    • Name (mandatory) is the name of the computer that you want to add. You can specify the NetBIOS or the fully qualified domain name of the computer.

    • Mailbox (optional) is the display name of the mailbox that you want the located PST files to be associated with in the archive.

    • EnableSearch (optional) specifies whether the PST Locator task should look for PST files on this computer.

      0 - Do not search for PST files on this computer.

      1 - Search for PST files on this computer.

    Note the following:

    • The CSV file must be saved as a Unicode file. You can use Windows Notepad to create such files.

    • If the first line of the CSV file fails to process, Enterprise Vault considers the line as the header row and ignores it during processing.

    • If the value contains spaces or commas, enclose the value in quotation marks.

    • List separators are required even when you do not specify optional parameters.

    Example:

    Name,Mailbox,EnableSearch,DirectoryName,SiteName

    abc.xyz.com,"User 1",,,

    pqr1.joe.com,,1,Directory1,Site1

    xuv23j3.smith.com,,,,

  2. In the Administration Console, expand Personal Store Management > Computers.
  3. Right-click and select Add > Multiple on the menu.
  4. In the Add computer to search for PST files dialog box, browse to select the CSV file that contains the details of the computers that you want to add.

The Enterprise Vault Management Shell also provides the Add-EVPstComputer cmdlet which lets you add single or multiple computers.

See PowerShell cmdlets for PST migration.
