Using USMT to migrate users profile and noticed that .PST Files stored on the network are migrated to C:\File.pst on new Windows 7 computer.
When migrating XP machines with Office 2003 to Windows 7 with Office 2010, .PST files stored on the network (Office 2003) are being migrated to the root of C: on the Windows 7 (Office 2010) machines. I am new to USMT and apart from creating a config.xml file have not modified anything else. I am now going over the USMT user's guide but would really appreciate any help from you guys. Thanks. A.P>

Hi, In order to migrate those PST files you’ll need to use a custom XML override. Here is a sample that will gather all PST files from all fixed drives: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/pst"> <component type="Documents" context="UserAndSystem"> <displayName>All PST migrated from all fixed drives, regardless of location</displayName> <role role="Data"> <rules> <include> <objectSet> <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.pst]", "Fixed")</script> </objectSet> </include> </rules> </role> </component> </migration> Paste that into Notepad and save as PST.XML into your USMT folder. When you add that to your scanstate and loadstate command-lines with /i:pst.xml then all fixed drive PST files will be migrated. For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft TechNet blog: USMT, OST, and PST http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/02/11/usmt-ost-and-pst.aspx You may also move the .pst files without USMT by following the steps the following Microsoft KB article provided: How to move your personal folders (.pst) file in Outlook http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291636 If the issue persists, you’d better submit a new question to Microsoft Office Forum which is the best resource for you.
