How do I get the PST migration to work?

Hi,

We are having trouble to import a PST file into an EV archive.
Our aim is to get EV to match the PST with an EV archive and import the data into the EV archive (matching done using the security permission of the user)

Here is what we did so far:

1. PST file located locally on the EV server (for test reasons, later on this should be on a share)
2. PST file has permissions of the user it belongs to and Full Control for the EV service account
3. created the registry key "EnablePSTMigrations" and set to 1
4. restarted EV Storage service
5. created a PST Migrator Task with a temporary folder for the PST files that is located locally
6. right click on the task, START and RUN NOW

-> Nothing happens.

The log file in EV/reports/ only contains:

---------------------------------------------

PST Migrator Task Report File: C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault\Reports\PstMigTask_EV_20090714140629.txt

14.07.2009 14:06:29 PST Migrator Task started

14.07.2009 14:06:29 Location of the holding folder: \\Ev\tmp\test-pst
14.07.2009 14:06:29 Location of the temporary files folder: \\EV\V$\PST-Files
14.07.2009 14:06:29 Number of concurrent migrations: 5
14.07.2009 14:06:29 Archive attribute reset denotes a PST has been backed up: False
----------------------------------------------


EventLog does not show any errors, just says "The task 'PST Migrator Task' has started processing. "

What are we doing wrong/are we missing?

Oliver

Hi

Those are items which cannot be migrated to EV, because of your policies and settings.
Most of the times, those are contact or appointment items.
They are migrated to the mailbox or left in the PST File.

Hi,

Would it be possible to dtrace migratorserver and pst migration task, replicate the issue by running the task and post this up.

Hi,

sure, never used dtrace before but I think I got it working and got a dtrace.log file (see below).
I stopped the task after a few minutes because the entries in the log file were repeated.

The is one line that says "There is not a PST Collector task configured for this computer" configured. Is this really necessary? What exactly does that do? Isn't it sufficient to use the Migrator task, it has all the infos needed in it, hasn't it?

Hi

As the name suggest, the "Collector Task" is responsible for "Collecting" the PST Files to the EV Temporary Holding location.
This is either done trough the Server directly, or trough Client Driven Migration, where the Client sends the PST to the "Collector" Task.

After this process has been finished, the PST is then migrated by the "Migrator" Task.

In short: You need a collector task to get PST Migration to work.

Cheers

OK, thanks for this information.

I have read the help about the "Collector task" and also the "Locator task" and it seems that it's not possible the way we would like to have it done. Our idea was to collect all PSTs in one folder and let EV do the rest of the work. Instead it wants to look at all PCs in AD (or NetBios), the locator is not able to look only at one certain point...

I have now started to use the Wizard PST migration, maybe we have more success with this.

Why does EV never work the way we would like it to *rolleyes*...

EV does work the way it is supped to, if you would like additional features added then do to the IDEAS section of the forums and add your Idea up there. If enough people agree with you it will be reviewed by product management and they will then send it to engineering for review to see if it is possible. If yes then it will go to Dev

So voice your ideas, they do listen to us

I have now managed to get a PST migrated using the wizard. Next problem: About 10% of the items were not "eligible" to be migrated... Why is that? Where do I find the log file which items weren't migrated?

The help system of EV is somewhat terrible, I never find what I need...

@Scanner01: Good idea, I might do this sometime, when I have solved my problems...

Hi

Those are items which cannot be migrated to EV, because of your policies and settings.
Most of the times, those are contact or appointment items.
They are migrated to the mailbox or left in the PST File.

Thanks, but is there no place where I can check what exactly these items are? Where do I set those policies, in the policies folder Exchange/PST Migration there is nothing to be configured that could help here.

1400 contacts and appointments seem too much in this case(>10%), no appointments were used and not so many contacts in the PST.
