When you use the Add Storage Wizard to register a .pst file, the registration operation may fail with the error “Format of the following file is not supported: '<full path to .pst file>'.” This problem occurs if the .pst file you are trying to register is password-protected. The expected behavior is that while the registration operation is in progress, the Add Storage Wizard should prompt you to type a password for the password-protected .pst file.
WORKAROUND
- Use Outlook to open the password-protected .pst file you want to register.
- Type the password for the .pst file when prompted by Outlook.
- Keep the file open in Outlook.
- Use the Add Storage Wizard to register the .pst file as a storage. For more information, see the User Guide supplied with this release of Recovery Manager for Exchange.
