"Are you simply telling SW inventory to look for .PST?" Yes, unfortunately we have it looking at all hard drives because there are several fileservers out there that it can be on. That and I've seen users store them in very odd locations of their profiles. So right now we have it set to *.pst, all drives, excluding windows folder.
"Again, why wouldn’t you use a CI or Sherry’s PST script?" Because up until 5 minutes ago I didn't know it existed. I will assuredly be looking into it now tho, that's for sure.
