Customize the properties as described below:

a.Detect user from folder path - when PST files are stored on a network share or a disk drive where each user has their own folder, you can specify the user's folder path or a search string to identify the user's folder. PST files will be assigned to the user on the basis of the folder name. If the user's folder cannot be found, no other folder will be used. You can use the following wildcards to detect assignees:

·%ALIAS%

·%DISPLAYNAME%

·%LOGONNAME%

·%EMAILADRESS%

For example, if user folders are created on the basis of their email address on a network share called Archive, then you can use the folder path \\Alias\%EMAILADRESS% to search for PST files in these folders and assign each PST file to a unique user mailbox.

b.Assign user - Click Change to open the Select mailbox window and choose a user for PST import. If the user's folder cannot be found, no other folder will be used.

c.You can customize other settings in the Ownership, Search and Upload tabs as described in the Setup PST Gathering topic.

 

Deactivate a client

If you want to temporarily prevent a client computer from automatically uploading PST files you can deactivate the client instead of removing it. If a client is deactivated, manual uploading and importing of PST files can still be performed. Manual uploading is an independent process from automated uploading.

To deactivate a client computer:

1.From the PST Importer menu click PST Gathering and then click Clients and PST files. The Gatherer management window opens.

2.Right-click the client that you want to deactivate and select Deactivate client from the context menu.
