Hopping that someone might be able to help me with my PST ingestion ini. Currently the customer has apprx 2 TB of PST's that need to be ingested. All of the PST are stored on a network file share under random paths that were created by a collection tool. The problem I'm trying to resolve is how EVPM interperates the file path to the PST.
Below I have included the snip from the ini file. As you can see some of these paths are very long and all of them contain spaces. I have attempted to wrap the paths in qoutes but that didnt work. So I was hopeing someone else may have solved my syntax issue. I generally recieve one of the two failures
1. Report_Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
2. Report_Error: The system cannot find the file specified

Hi John,
You should not need any quotes or anything mate. I just ran a test for you with a PST in the following location / Name:
D:\test root folder\test sub folder\test sub sub folder\test sub sub sub folder\test sub sub sub sub folder\test sub sub sub sub sub sub folder\test a pst with space in name.pst
This works fine no issues what so ever, here is a copy of the EVPM ini i used:

Ya thats what I thought also. The problem is, the only one that works succesfully is the ones without spaces.
I ran just one: INI file snip

Here is the ini file. Thanks so much for taking your time to help me with this.

[PST] (this is one using the UNC path instead of a mapped drive and share)
Filename = \\adcna06_vf0\ADCEXCHARC5_evstore2\_Nuix Extractions\Chismar_Deborah\SIEL081166 Collection_mfs01\SIEL081166 Collection\C_\Documents and Settings\024553\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst

The ultimate goal would be able to achieve success via the UNC path -- this would prevent us from having to create a directory structure and copy over 2 TB of PST's.
Again here is the path copied from the Windows Explorer exactly as it appears on the system.

Hey John.
Perhaps you are running a dated version of EV compared to the testers? Are you on the latest SP release for your build and what build is that?
Maybe this is something that was addressed. I have another idea... does the 8.3 nameing convention work. you know like where C:\YourFolder Name\superlongfilename.txt would also be c:\YourFo~1\Super~1.txt .
May get you past the hump. If you fix it please let us know what did and flag a user if they fixed it for you.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
j
