OST to PST Conversion Tips
OST to PST conversion can be achieved a number of ways..
Copy files from the Mailbox
linked to the OST file into a PST from Outlook itself. (if you
need a hand creating a PST more below)
Copy the files directly from the
Exchange server
Create a mail profile in line
with the original mailbox attached to the OST file
If you are using Outlook XP or
earlier which is in ANSI format download the freeware
application called ost2pst.exe this can easily be found from
Google
If you are using Outlook 2003 or
later the format has changed to UNICODE so ost2pst.exe will not
initially work.One thing to try is, make a copy of your OST file
run the PST repair tool SCANPST.EXE, this must be the version
that comes with Outlook XP or 2000, 2003 will not work.
Rename the copy OST file
extension to PST, now run the SCANPST.EXE over this file, once
finished rename the PST back to an OST file.
Run the application ost2pst.exe
(Unfortunately we cannot verify
if this tips works, but please let us know)
The only other options would be to bite the bullet and purchase
an OST to PST converter some of them are priced very steeply,
but others can be found for around $50, or use one of the OST
recovery services.
Don’t forget also to check on
your computer if there are any old PST files lurking anywhere
which may be useful.
