Archiving pst without mailbox

Bothari
Level 3

Hi,

is there a way ti use EnterpriseVault for pst archiving without Exchange archiving? 

We have Lotus archiving setup locally but more and more users are being migrated to O365. When an O365 user leaves the company we would like to export his mail to pst and then import it to EV archive for longterm retention.

Would this be possible?

Thank you and regards

Hello Bothan,

Yes. You will need to create a Shared Archive. You can create one for each user, or create a general one, and import PST's there. I would go for seperate ones. Then use the 'import PST' to define in which shared archived pst needs to go

Hi Gertjan, 

thank you very much!

Hi Gerjan, 

we have tried importing pst to archive but we ancounter the error 

ST Migration Report File
Start date & time: 6.4.2020. 9:54:40

Migration Settings:
------------------------------
=> Migrate the 'Deleted items' folder
=> Delete migrated items from PSTs
=> The language of the PSTs is Central European (1250)
=> Compact each PST file after migration
=> Archive all calendar items, including those that have not expired

Report file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\Reports\PSTMig_20200406095440.txt

PSTs to be migrated to archives:
------------------------------------------------------
PST: C:\install\MSOffice\folder.pst --> Archive: Vesna Mihelcic O365; Retention Category: 7 Godina


End time: 9:55:37
Report file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\Reports\PSTMig_20200406095440.txt

The wizard has detected that some of your PSTs contained items that failed from a previous
migration attempt, and were refiled to the 'PST Migration failed items' folder. These items were
not processed during this migration run and require correction. See the Help for information on
how to migrate these items.

PSTs with failed items in the 'PST Migration Failed Items' folder:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PST: C:\install\MSOffice\folder.pst --> Archive: Vesna Mihelcic O365

Some of the PSTs contained items that were not eligible for archive.
These items have not been archived and remain in the PSTs.
See the Help for information on how to migrate these items.

PSTs containing ineligible items:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PST: C:\install\MSOffice\folder.pst --> Archive: Vesna Mihelcic O365

PSTs partially processed:
---------------------------------------------------------------
PST: C:\install\MSOffice\folder.pst --> Archive: Vesna Mihelcic O365

Items archived: 93 (of 1585)
Items failed archiving: 0
Items not eligible for archiving because of PST Migration Policy setting: 1492

Outlook 2016 is installed on the EV server (without client plugin) and EV is not used for Exchange archiving.

What could cause this?

Thank you in advance

Hello Bothan,

The errors are reasonably clear. You need to open the PST File. You might need to give the VSA permission on the PST.

Check folder "PST Migration failed items". You might need to move these items back to the inbox folder in the PST. Or, these items are corrupt.

Then, the items which are not migrated due to a policy setting "items that were not eligible for archive"

Also for that, you can check in the PST file. Are they perhaps tasks? Contacts? other items you defined to not archive. Check not only the PST policy, but also the Mailbox policy. 

To me, this indicates that the import itself works fine, some items are not imported due to configuration on your EV.
