If the profile on their machine hasn't been touched then you will have to:-
Log on to machine as user.
Unplug network cable
Go into outlook and wait for the connection to timeout and the ost to open
Export all the data to a pst
Exit outlook and plug the network cable back in
Outlook will sync the ost and you'll get your empty mailbox
Import from the exported pst

Subject: how do i extract data from an ost file?
one of our admins has nuked the mailbox of a user who was doing .ost
replication.
he re-created the mailbox....but since the user was using an ost..it simply
tried to replicate an
empty mailbox to the ost.
i have a pre-new mailbox copy of the ost available.
any guidance at extracting the data from the ost ?
