Outlook PST files, while helpful for people who run into mailbox limits, pose various problems for individuals and organizations.
The top issues include:

  • Compliance issues related to discovery and data loss.
  • Backups are rarely performed on PST files.
  • They generate support calls related to corruption and configuration.

With migrations to Microsoft Office 365, the lower cost of storage has opened an opportunity to move the PST data back into the mailbox and solve the problems they created.

PST Migrator makes the PST data move to an Office 365 mailbox easier by automatically moving the folders and items via a background non-disruptive process.

Once done, PST Migrator disconnects the Outlook PST files and eventually deletes the empty file.







Automated Migration of PST Data






PST Migrator runs fully automated so no action is required by users. This increases the success rate of complete PST migration and also saves time.





Uses Existing Infrastructure






The flexible deployment package can be pushed and managed by desktop management solutions already in-place. This includes GPOs, SCCM, Intune, LANDesk, etc.





Flexible Migrations (Cloud or On-Prem)






Although built with Microsoft's Exchange Online large mailboxes in mind, PST Migrator can migrate the data to other mailbox locations including on-premises.






Connected and Disconnected PST Processing



Microsoft Outlook PSTs can be discovered and migrated by either looking at connected PSTs or disconnected PSTs sitting in the file system. With features like Ownership Verification, we can ensure the PSTs match to the person using Microsoft's Outlook.





Resource and Bandwidth Control





Since PST Migrator leverages the distributed power of your endpoints, the bottleneck sometimes is the network upload capacity. The resource control feature limits the rate at which data is moved which protects your networks.





Enhanced Corruption Mitigation





PST Migrator uses the Outlook API and is error handled per item. Removing the need to run ScanPST. ScanPST will truncate some good data with the bad where PST Migrator will grab more good data out of a corrupted PST.







Quota Protection





Although Microsoft's Office365 allows for very large mailboxes and archives, the quota protection feature makes sure the migration of the PST data does not push mailboxes over their limits.





Ownership Verification





Ownership verification ensures that PSTs being migrated are matched to the person using Outlook. Configurable for both connected and disconnected, this feature is most important when searching network shares for disconnected PSTs.





User Validation






For those looking for end user validation of the PSTs to migrate, we have user validation available/configurable for both the connected and disconnected PSTs.







Retention Policy Tagging






PST Migrator can apply a Microsoft Exchange policy, or tag, to the PST data it migrates. Policies/tags can be used to delete or move the data to the online archive.





Restricted Run Times







When enabled, PST Migrator will only process data during the allowed times of day.





Duplicate PST Exclusion







When enabled, PST Migrator can exclude PSTs that are copies.







Instant Cleanup






Empty, or integration, PSTs are commonly found in many organizations. Instant Cleanup recognizes these files on discovery and can remove them immediately.
