Believe .PST file to be damaged (or just way to big)

Recently Outlook has been giving me an error "Outlook cannot open this item. The item may be damaged."
I can see some emails, but only very recent ones. I cannot send emails. I cannot read older emails.
I tried the scanpst.exe, but the .pst file doesn't seem to be where it is supposed to be. When I do a search for .pst files on my system, it does not come up.
Ideas?

Hi Store,
As you mentioned that PST file has been damaged and scanpst.exe not able to repair it. Might be it’s a case of high level corruption and even you are not able to search damaged Outlook data file in
the computer. I will suggest you for any third party utility to recover Outlook database like Outlook Recovery Utility.
http://www.en.pstrecovery.net/
As I found this from Google searches,
its sounds good and can repair lost items (Please use at your own risk because every third party utility has its limitations and term & policies).
If you are using Outlook with exchange, you can recover the items using
Dumpster function.

Does SES Index Personal Folders (.pst) Files?

Does SES have the ability to index .pst files, either as part of a file content source or an email content source?
If SES does not natively index .pst files, are they any plans to support this in SES versions?

Hey JRV,
we use DFSr and folder redirection and thats part of the prob! If we put all PST files to My Doc's, then DFSr is pretty much useless as it tries to replicate 8GB+ pst files.
So the idea is to move them to a separate server(s) entirely. We are looking at a Vault solution, (Symantec), however this won't happen in the near future. By moving them to a separate server,
outside of the user profile, we 'fix' DFSr and have an easily identifiable central location for PST files.
So the script above works great insofar as it will move all connected archives to a specified location. You’re spot on as regards breaking it down into smaller parts. We’re not going to worry about user PST files that are not connected,
just back them up to tape and restore as requested. (I hate PST files!)
I have put echo’s into the script.. but I can’t figure out how to update a value in the array if the file names are the same.
It reads all data files and add’s them to the array.
What I’m trying to add is “if a file with the same name is connected then add it to the array with 1_ at the start of the file name. If further files are connected with same file name then continue to add to array with 2_, 3_, 4_, etc”.
I know I’m asking a lot here.. but really struggling with this!
For Each objFolder In objNS.Session.Folders 'all data files in outlook
if not isEmpty(GetPSTPath(objFolder.storeid)) then 'filter out empty items
'wscript.echo objFolder
pstPath = GetPSTPath(objFolder.storeid) 'returns the PST file path in text
redim preserve pstArray(counter)
pstArray(counter) = pstPath
counter = counter + 1
pstInfo.add pstPath,objFolder
errorDisplay ("Read Data Store")
End If

Thanks!

An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted.

Whenever I try to render something in After Effects CC 13.1.1, an error message pops up, saying "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '[not going to disclose]' An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)."

Moving to Exchange Online from SBS 2003/Exchange 2003 using PST files instead of cut over migration?

I have a friend who runs a small company with approximately 10 users. They are currently using Small Business Server 2003 and are using Exchange 2003 to a limited degree. They are using POP accounts with a hosting company for external email and
are using Exchange for internal email and calendar sharing. They have several different versions of Outlook including 2003, 2007, and 2010. Most of the users have two mail accounts configured in Outlook - one Exchange account and one account with a hosting
company which provides POP mail boxes. Their MX record currently points to the hosting company not their exchange server. As far as I know, they do not have any static IP addresses or if they do, they are not using them.
I do not believe Outlook versions about 2010 will work with Exchange 2003 and their server is getting older and probably needs an upgrade.
I think they should probably move to Exchange Online since they do not have an IT person on staff.
I've done some research and it looks like the recommended solution is a cut-over migration from Exchange 2003 but it looks like that would require some changes to the existing SBS 2003 / Exchange 2003 server and I'm not sure that we would be comfortable
making those changes.
Would it be possible to sign-up and create the user accounts using Exchange Online and just import the data from the user's PST files?
I tried doing some research it looks like it is possible but one post mentioned needing to modify the mailbox’s legencyDN or they may not be able to reply to old messages. How difficult is that? Can it be done after the messages have been migrated
to Exchange Online.
They only have about 10 users so we are looking for the simplest way to move to Exchange Online, not necessarily the fastest or most efficient.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that you want to migrate Exchange 2003 Public Folders to Exchange Online. We can get following messages from this article:
Public Folders in Exchange Online
You can’t migrate public folders directly from Exchange 2003. If you’re running Exchange 2003 in your organization,
you must move all public folder databases and replicas to Exchange 2007 SP3 RU10 or later. No public folder replicas can remain on Exchange 2003.
It seems that can’t migrate on-premise Exchange 2003 public folders to an Office 365.
àOn the client
side we are using Exchange 2007
Did you mean Outlook 2007? Please refer to the following thread and check if can help you.

Hope this helps.

Outlook 2013: Imported or copied items from .pst file disappear after a few seconds

I am migrating from an open source email platform (Axigen) to Outlook/Exchange 2013. The Axigen system uses a connector for Outlook allowing users to use Outlook as a client.
To move from Outlook 2010 with the Axigen server to Outlook 2013 with Exchange I have exported the entire mailbox from Outlook 2010 to a .pst file which I am then trying to import into Outlook 2013.
The import process appears to complete successfully and the imported items show up in Outlook 2013 - but only for a second or two. Then they disappear completely, nowhere to be found. This happens with ontacts, emails and calendar items and the result
is the same whether I import the entire mailbox or just a folder at a time.
If I OPEN the .pst file into Outlook 2013 everything in it looks perfectly OK, I can view items with no problems, all folders are there with their correct content. Now if I try to move or copy
items from the opened .pst file into the Outlook 2013 mailbox, I get the exact same symptoms as when importing. Items show for a couple of seconds and then disappear. If I copy or move a
folder, the folder remains in the Outlook 2013 folder tree but the items in it disappear.
Why would items be perfectly visible and readable from an opened .pst file but disappear when they are copied into the new 2013 mailbox?
They are not visible in OWA either, btw, so this is not just Outlook not displaying them, they are really gone. Checking the folder size in Outlook shows an empty folder (size 0, 0 messages). I have tried the /cleanviews switch when starting Outlook.
This has me completely stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

More strangeness:
I set up an Android phone to sync with this account just now. I imported my contacts list from the phone into the Exchange account. After sync, all the contacts are perfectly visible on the phone, but NOT in Outlook 2013 or in OWA...
So maybe it is some sort of display filter thing after all?
That's unbelieveable that message is visiable in Android phone through Exchange ActiveSync but cannot be viewd in OWA...
For the database session, we may enable
Exchange Mailbox Audit logging(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff461937(v=exchg.150).aspx) to check if the message is indeed upload into DB from Outlook.
For the client level, please enable Outlook logging to log what happens inside outlook to aid in your troubleshooting.
We can enable Outlook logging in Outlook 2013 under File > Options > Advanced > "Other" section
Log files are created as .etl files and stored in %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp. A new log file is created each time Outlook starts.

Okay, I have enabled Outlook logging. However I cannot find any way to read those .etl files.
I also enabled audit logging in Exchange but as I understand it that will not log operations performed by the mailbox owner, only non-owner access.
I think I am close to giving up on this. I can't believe an enterprise email platform will simply delete messages copied into a mailbox without any error message whatsoever, and no way for an admin to track what is happening.
It is definitely happening when syncing with Exchange, so there must be something in these items (and
remember this happens not only to email messages, but also to Contacts) that makes the Exchange server decide these messages should be discarded witout warning.
One other thing: Folders copied from the .pst are visible on Outlook (although their contents are deleted) but not on ActiveSync clients. If I create a new folder in the mailbox, it syncs as it should.

MS Outlook can't open my PST files.

Hi friends, I'm having problems while opening some of my .pst files. Each one of them is more than 20 GB. The size is not any issue as I'm using MS Outlook 2010. I also tried to repair the file with SCANPST.EXE, but it didn't work. Then I checked the trial
of a third-party recovery software. It was just useless. It didn't work at all and didn't recover even a single mail. Now it's really difficult to believe that a third-party recovery application really works! Very dubious.
I just want to know whether I can recover these files or not. My files are invaluable. Please help me.

What happens when you open these files? (provide any messages encountered exactly and entirely as shown- do not paraphrase)
Sorry to mention the error in my first post. This is it what I'm getting:
"Errors have been detected in the file 'filename.pst'. Quit Outlook and all mail-enabled applications, and then use Inbox repair tool (Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file. For more information about the Inbox repair tool, see
help."
Just came to know about a pst repair application through this forum. Will come back soon here with results.

Import pst files in Outlook 2013

Hi all!
I have a simple question for you...
The normal procedure suggested me to import a pst file from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2013 from File->Open and Export->Import/Export->Import data from other programs....etc. This procedure works normally.
If I export mail by mail (one each mail at time) from Outlook 2007 to a normal folder in my desktop I have a folder with more .msg files. And, when I finished to do this I import mail by mail from my desktop folder to new .pst file in Outlook 2013.
This procedure can be corrupt or damage the pst file?
Many thanks!
Bye!

You are using the term "export" for two different scenarios - one of which has nothing to do with "exporting". Similarly, the term "folder" means 2 different things under the scenario described.
Specifically, you don't export email's one message at a time, in this case, these are being "saved" in a Windows folder which is not the same thing as an Outlook folder (contained in a PST file).
Instead of going through this latter process which has to be time-consuming and a pain, have you considered simply opening the pst file used in O'2007 and then just moving/copying the desired messages to the desired O'2013 folder? Am sure there is a reason
that you're going through this latter process but on the surface it seems that it's a long way around to arrive at your destination.

Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
(the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
(For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ...
why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
to spot said critical attachment.
Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
The whole .doc .vs
docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
Bulleting function grayed out
Spelling errors not highlighted
Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
Track Changes not accurately recorded
These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
“Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not.
I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

Unable to load up .pst files

We are running older hardware, Dell Optiplex 780's. They were all running XP and we used CM2012 to push out Windows 7 to each of them. The OSD process, in a nutshell, does this.
Format C:, install windows 7, apply 780 drivers from Dell, join domain, install apps like Office 2010 and some others.
Once the machine is built you can log in and everything works. We are running
Office 2010. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook etc... But when you try to load up any .PST file it hangs and never loads the file. We've waited over 30 min and it never loads. We have tried both from a network
share and having the .PST local and it still will not load.
What should I look at to fix this? Could the Dell Optiplex 780 be so old it does not fully support Office 2010?

Hi,
First of all, please note Network Stored PST files are not recommended by Microsoft back in the very early age, please read the details in this blog below:
Network Stored PST files ... don't do it!
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2007/01/21/network-stored-pst-files-don-t-do-it.aspx
As for your local .pst files, here are some suggestions:
1. Run Scanpst.exe to repair the possible damage in the .pst file, if you are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 as you mentioned, this application can be found in the following path:
<disk drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 (32-bit version of Windows)
or <disk drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office(x86)\Office14 (64-bit version of Windows)
For reference, we can read this Microsoft KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227/en-us
2. Move the .pst file to a new location on local, check if then the .pst file can be accessed or opened. Please make sure the user has the proper permission of the folder in which the .pst file is stored. Please also make sure Outlook is run as
administrator.
If you get any error messages and other details that may be helpful, please kindly let me know.

Script to open all PST files in a directory and open with Outlook.

Hi! I am looking for a script that opens all PST files in a directory, opens it in outlook, and writes to a log to see if it completed correctly. I'm new to VBscript and just want to see how the script would be written.
Thank you!!

Thank you for all the input! JRV, I went through the repository and couldn't find anything about importing into Outlook. I will use it for future references and I appreciate you directing me there.
Grant, I need to be able to locate all PST files within a directory, not point it to a specific pst. I also need it written to a log file. Here is what I have...Don't laugh, I'm very new...

set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("C:\Users\jimmy.nguyen\Desktop\Lucky.txt", ForAppending, True)
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strCommand = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\outlook.exe"
Set objExecObject = objShell.Exec(strCommand)
wscript.sleep 4000

Import PST files for multiple users at the same time?

While importing PST files into archive mailboxes, the Exchange 2010 mailbox server went to 100% CPU and memory usage and I could not stop the imports because the EMS stopped responding. We had to restart the whole server to get back to normal.
Not sure if importing PSTs was the cause of it it was a coincidence. We have done imports the same way before without this issue.
How many PST imports can be done at the same time and how do we queue up multiple users and have the mailbox imports have unique names for each user? I noticed they are always called MailboxImport and MailboxImport1 and then it starts over as MailboxImport
again for additional users. So, if more than one user's PSTs are being imported at the same time, we will have multiple identically named imports running.
We would like multiple users' PST imports to queue up and start automatically when the previous users' imports complete.

Please try like this. Rename folder name same as alias. i.e. \\server\share\<alias>. below are examples.
"\\server\share\jsmith"
"\\server\share\tjones"
"\\server\share\rsmith"
"\\server\share\bspears"
"\\server\share\mmouse"
And run below command to take PST from the corresponding
foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\Server\share\$($i.Alias)\$($i.Alias).pst" -baditemlimit 50 -acceptlargedataloss ;while ((Get-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox $i | ? {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"})) { sleep 180 } }
If a folder missing with the alias you will see an error similar to this.I think this will work for you. You just keep only the required PST folders to import in the "\\Server\share" folder.
"Unable to open PST file '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
Error details: Could

How can I enable iTunes Sync to move deleted to the Trash in Outlook instead of directly deleting from my PST file?

I use several Apple Devices: iPhone 3GS (yes, archaic), iPhone 4S, iPad, and iPad 2 for personal, and work.
I use iTunes with MS Outlook 2010 to store all my information (e-mail, contacts, calendar, notes, etc).
When any information changes, it is updated throughout my devices. There has been a time or two when I have accidently deleted information. I want to make sure that I can undelete the information at those times.
When I 'Allow' iTunes to delete the information, it does not move to Trash in Outlook and instead it removes it completely from Outlook. This removes any possibility to restore the infomation at a future date if the need arises.
This is a very important function which I miss, granular notification of every change that will take place and the ability to stop each change; when I used Blackberry Desktop with my Torch.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the issu? My work around, currently, is to copy the existing PST file to a different locaion. Then, if I need to restore, I would just open the PST file and copy the item(s) back into the working PST file. This is really quite cumbesome.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
Good luck,
Clinton

How do I add my Outlook PST files from my old Windows PC to my new MacBook Pro?

Sorry newbie MBP user here I did a search but couldn't find anything, although I would guess others who have migrated over from the windows world might have had this question:
Just purchased a new MBP w/Retina display and I before I wipe my current windows laptop, I want to move all of my saved PST email files over to my new MBP as well as my saved documents.
I have saved them on a USB thumb drive but dont know how to move them over to my MBP and save them in my mail file as well as my docs into?
TIA!

i tired to import this new folder to mac mail, it was giving a message that will be discplayed under folder name "Import", but unfortunately, there was nothing added.

How can I load a .pst file to an instrument in logic express 9?

I have some instruments plug-in settings from my old computer that I used with logic, and I want to load them into logic so I can use them on the computer I moved them to. On any instrument I try (ES1, ES2, EXS24 and the rest) it won't allow me to load the files (.pst files) and I know I should be able to. Am I just going about it wrong or using the wrong instrument? How can I load these files so that I can use the instruments again?

Pages is not in a format compatible for what you want to do.
After you save a a Pages document, go to File > Export > and choose either Word or Pdf format. You can also choose RTF or PlainText too. Then you can email to yourself or others.
Good Luck.

Repairing / Compressing .PST files and Outlook Processes in Task Manager

Does Outlook 2010 still use scanpst.exe for repairing .PST files? That seems to be what I read in a few articles that I found online, but I can't seem to find my scanpst.exe file. It either wasn't installed originally or it has been deleted
by something. I am running Windows 7 Pro and I I looked in the Office 14 folder, which is where the article said it should be, but it wasn't there. I also search the whole drive. I found a scanpst.exe0002 in an installs directory. I
am assuming that is the file in some form of compressed format as it comes for installation, but I don't know how to get it into the standard .exe format.
I tried running Outlook repair from the Program Installs / Uninstalls application. That does not seem to have helped.
The reason I am even doing this is that Outlook is hanging, e.g. just stoppin and not responding. It does this when I select a specific PST folder and it may do it at other times. But it is more than just Outlook hanging. When it hangs,
you can shut down Outlook, but there is still an Outlook Process running that cannot be shut down at least by my normal none admin user ID.
And even more strange is that when this is the case, I cannot log off nor can I shutdown. The whole system just hangs in a state of limbo. I can walk away and come back a half hour later and the screen will still say "Logging off" or
" Shutting down".
I see not error messages concerning Outlook in the Application Event log. I do see a whole bunch of Warning messages about Outlook, but they are all about Event Id 27, "Calendar Folder Property missing" and date back to January
What do I do here? I am thinking that there may be an issue with one or more of my pst files either growing too large, or being corrupted. I don't know what else can hang Outlook like that. And I am concerned that I can't shut down a process
running under my ID.

Yes, unless you're using the Click to Run (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982434) version of Office then scanpst.exe should be there. Note, depending on whether it's 32 or 64 bit it can be found in either
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14
or
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
so I wonder if you were looking in the wrong one? Depending on your setup it's possible to have both paths on your system, though only one of them will contain the required files.

Believe .PST file to be damaged (or just way to big)
