Manage PST Files
PST Manager Tools for Microsoft Exchange
| Typical needs include the ability to: |
Access to Outlook Personal Folders (PST files) is necessary for legal discovery, regulatory compliance and implementation of corporate policy. The decentralized nature of PST files combined with their proliferation throughout the enterprise on desktops, file servers and laptop machines often make the task of finding, accessing and managing these information stores extremely difficult for administrators.
To alleviate the headaches often caused by PST files, Sherpa Software offers a variety of PST management tools specifically designed to locate, search, manage, migrate and delete content in desktop and network-based PST files.
Next Steps
| Software Highlights | |
| Locate, Manage and Search PST Files » | PST content is not easily accessible. When data is stored locally on desktop or laptop computers, or scattered around your network, finding PST files and collecting information can be a difficult and time-consuming task. In addition, enforcing archiving, retention and deletion policies are much more difficult when data stores are not centrally accessible to IT staff. Administrators are able to manage PST files by creating flexible rules that monitor the email infrastructure and automatically archive and enforce corporate policies with Mail Attender for Exchange. |
|---|---|
| Archive and Delete PST File Content » | Ultimately, Exchange administrators want to delete PST files and prevent end-users from creating them again. However, the information stored in those PST files is still valuable. Sherpa Software's PST management solutions allow you to transfer PST information into a separate archive location where that information can be accessed and still delete the original PST files. Transferring PST content into an archive, between email stores and giving users of those PST files access to the archived messages through Outlook, Sherpa's solutions allow you to delete unwanted PST files. This method allows PST files to be phased out with Mail Attender for Exchange. |
| Backup PST Files » | In the past couple of years, there has been a distinct shift towards moving user archived messages away from PST files and into centrally managed repositories; however, many organizations still attempt to manage user created PST files. Although PST files are created using Microsoft Outlook on users' computers, many companies, in an attempt to facilitate easier backup and disaster recovery mechanisms, choose to store these PST files on network shares. This, however, is a configuration not recommended by Microsoft. Sherpa offers solutions designed to backup PST files located on individual workstations without disruption to the users or without creating additional bandwith issues with PST Backup Attender. |
| Capture Statistics and Generate Reports » | The ability to report on the content of all PST files across the entire organization is an important key step in understanding the information assets an organization possesses. Gather comprehensive statistics and gain a total perspective over your entire email environment, including all PST files, with information such as: total number of PSTs, total message/attachment counts, size, and age with Mail Attender for Exchange. |
