PST Flight Deck 9.1.4 - Deployment Guide

Configuration

Share scanner configuration is performed by editing the config.xml file located in the specified installation location. The configuration file is fully commented with examples on how to edit the configuration. Minimally, the server section needs to be modified to reflect all project drives desired for scanning. In the example below, two source locations are shown. The Share Scanner can be used to scan dozens of source resources.

Example of <server> section configuration:

<server>

<Path>P:\</Path>

<Pattern>*.pst</Pattern>

</server>

<server>

<Path>\\FS001\d$</Path>

<Pattern>*.pst</Pattern>

</server>

When appropriately configured, the scanned results should appear in the Console shortly after they are identified.
