Vista - vbscript with outlook pst

02-25-2009

Problem:
User have pst file on there c:\drives and we have to move them over to their
there home drives. When I call the users their always busy so the project
takes longer than it should.

Solution if possible:
Is there a way to find out where the pst's are located and if there are any
on the c:\drive to unmap the pst -> close outlook -> move pst file to home
drive -> open outlook and re-map pst file.

The location of PST files can be set in two ways:
a) From within Outlook
b) By running a .prf file - see here:

In your case Option a) is probably the only viable option. The experts in an
Outlook newsgroup might be able to provide you with further details.
