Archive process
I have a user who was recently migrated to Win2K about 4 months ago. She's pretty sure she's been using Outlook2K all along. She has a 133MB .pst file. But, when you open the file, all the folders she archived are empty. I ran scanpst on it. The scan found no errors, 50 folders and only 3 files. How can this be?? I verified her archive path. What else should I be looking at to explain a large archive file, but with no contents?? Thanks! _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Archive process
You should run scanpst about 3 times. Then delete the PST and tell the user PST=BAD -Original Message- From: Farquharson, Andrea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 8:09 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Archive process I have a user who was recently migrated to Win2K about 4 months ago.

A. It's a PST file, things can be just because. B. A single item which is 132.9MB would explain a PST file which was 133MB with only 5 items. C. Simply restore the PST file from the last known good backup.

RE: Archive process
PST can have 133MB file size even there's nothing in it. She probably had something in that PST with 133MB, but then deleted everything in her PST. Until you compact the PST, you will not find out the true size of that PST.
