Does SES Index Personal Folders (.pst) Files?

Question

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
Next
Thanks!
