We use software inventory to identify PSTs on a system. Our goal is to find them, import them, destroy them and ban the ability to ever create them again. Like terminating roaches!. It works, but I have run into the issues mentioned about the 4 hour timeout. There are other PST gathering tools out there, but we haven't had the chance (or money) to try them out yet.
