VBScript to search PST files on a list of computers

Hello guys,
Not-even-close-to-expert to scripting, i've been in charge to develop a script, only in VBS or batch file, that can do the following:
- Search a list of pre-determined computers and specific path (example: \\computer\c:\<random folder>\<random folder> for only *.pst files, if not, returns an information saying that it
doesnt have any file present.
- Export that list to excel by date created, date last modified, size, attributes and path
I've search and compiled a vbs that does something like what i want, but it extracts all the files except the specific file i want and it lacks the string/syntax to point for the list of computers and their specific path.
Here's the VBS i've managed to compile:
==========================================================
Dim strFolder, objFSO, objFolder
Dim strExcelPath, objExcel, objSheet, intRow
Const xlExcel7 = 39
' Specify main folder.
strFolder = "C:\Program Files"
' Retrieve folder object.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolder)
' Specify spreadsheet to be created.
strExcelPath = "C:\get_pst_info.xls"
' Create workbook.
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Workbooks.Add
' Bind to worksheet.
Set objSheet = objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
objExcel.Cells(1, 1).Value = "Nome"
objExcel.Cells(1, 2).Value = "Ficheiro"
objExcel.Cells(1, 3).Value = "Data Criação"
objExcel.Cells(1, 4).Value = "Data Última Modificação"
objExcel.Cells(1, 5).Value = "Atributos"
objExcel.Cells(1, 6).Value = "Tamanho (bytes)"
objExcel.Cells(1, 7).Value = "Caminho"
objExcel.Range("A1:B1:C1:D1:E1:F1:G1").Select
objExcel.Range("A1:G1").Columns.AutoFit
objExcel.Range("A2:G2").Rows.Autofit
objExcel.Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 19
objExcel.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 11
objExcel.Selection.Font.Bold = True
' Enumerate files.
intRow = 0
Call GetFiles(objFolder)
' Save spreadsheet, close workbook, and quit Excel.
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strExcelPath, xlExcel7
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close
objExcel.Application.Quit
' Alert user.
Wscript.Echo "Done"
Sub GetFiles(ByVal objParent)
  ' Enumerate files in folder.
  ' Variable intRow must have global scope.
  Dim objFile, objChild
  For Each objFile In objParent.Files
    intRow = intRow + 2
    objSheet.Cells(intRow, 1).value = objFile.Name
    objSheet.Cells(intRow, 2).value = objFile.Type
    objSheet.Cells(intRow, 3).value = objFile.DateCreated
    objSheet.Cells(intRow, 4).Value = objFile.DateLastModified
    objSheet.Cells(intRow, 5).value = objFile.Attributes
    objSheet.Cells(intRow, 6).value = objFile.Size
    objSheet.Cells(intRow, 7).Value = objFile.Path 
  Next
  ' Recurse through nested folders.
  For Each objChild In objParent.SubFolders
    Call GetFiles(objChild)
  Next
End Sub
==========================================================
Can anyone help me to adapt for the changes i want to implement ?
Thanks in advance,

I think your expectations of free help in a user-to-user support forum may be a little unrealistic.
This isn't a script on demand forum where people post a list of requirements and have other people write scripts for you (or completely rewrite/fix broken scripts).
Bill
Well, although you might be write, in no way i "demand" anything.
As i've seen on other posts, i presented my doubts/difficulties, i showed what i did by myself and the results it had and i'm asking if anyone can help me with my problems, that's all.
I think my post doesnt differ, in anything, from other posts of "free help" i've seen.
Marex
What you did for yourself is to copy a script from the Internet that seems to have nothing to do with what you are asking.
Use the learning tools and try and write the scrip you are asking for.   Look in the Gallery for scripts that do nearly what you need.  A little testing and effort will get you closer.
Start here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd772284
All of the pieces you are asking for are demonstrated in the tutorials.
When you get stuck on a specific item then post pack with a single question.  You are asking a smorgasbord of questions that amount to asking for a complete design and build.
Your post is not a question but is a list of requirements that you want to see fulfilled.  Try asking a single question.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Search indexing not working in Outlook PST files

    My boss recently got Office 2010 on his new laptop.  I copied his PST's from his old laptop whihc had Office 2003 on it to the new one and added them to his profile.  They are there and look to be workign fine, until you try any sort of search
    on them.
    If I am looking at the eMails in the PST and I see a whole lot from
    [email protected] and then in the search box I type
    [email protected] the emails are all firltered away and I am told that there are no items that match the criteria.  This also happens when I try try to run an advanced search.
    So according to this post,
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/outlook/thread/b1859770-dfb5-4224-995f-be828bd21333, I disabled Indexing of outlook, then search stops working on my default location, i.e. if I search my inbox or anything in that datafile, I get
    no results returned, but if I search one of the archieve PST files for say
    [email protected] the search runs for ages with out retunring any results, if I stop the search and then rerun it then I get results.
    It just seems a bit strange that I have to choose iether or.

    A user needs the admin password like nitro glycerine needs a good shake.

    This seems to be an ongoing problem. The instant search feature in Outlook 2010 is not working correctly for a large number of users. I have read many, many posts here in TechNet and many more that come up with a Google search. None of the solutions provided
    are permanently solving the problem.
    I have tried every potential solution I have found:
    Rebuilding the index did not work
    The registry key(s) PrevenIndexingOutlook, PreventIndexingEmailAttachments, did not exist (the Search Key did not exist). I tried adding both keys in 2 different suggested locations (HKCU and HKLM) Search indexing did not work with or without those keys
    added.
    I have tried everything that I have found everwhere to resolve this problem. I found one solution that appeared to work a month or so ago. Unfortunately, I cannot find it again and no new emails have been added to the index since that day (09/15/2010).
    I tried rebuilding the index (again). This process has removed all of the emails from the index that had been there after I applied the fix that seemed to work. I am continuing to research this problem in the hope that I will find that previous partial solution.
    It would be nice to get some feedback from Microsoft to let us know if this problem is being looked into. All of the solutions provided from Microsoft on these forums have failed to correct this long term problem.
    FYI: I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and Office Professional Plus 2010. These were fresh installs, not upgrades. After installation the instant search feature in Outlook was working, I do not know exactly when it stopped working.

  • Sharepoint lists.pst files

    I need to understand how and why share point lists are created.
    There are a number of users in my organisation who have them associated with the user accounts and as part of a strategy to migrate Outlook PST into exchange these files these have become an issue.
    Also I need to get some advice on how to manage them can I import theme into outlook and then disable the use of SharePoint lists PST files.
    can I import them back into sharepoint somehow?
    No sharepoint admin experience I am afraid:(

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know how the lists created in the Outlook.
    You can synchronize a SharePoint library, contact list, task list, Project task list and a certain type of SharePoint external list with Microsoft Outlook 2010.
    The SharePoint list.pst files are created when we click the “Connect to Outlook” option in SharePoint list ribbon as below.
    You don’t need to import this files, the files would be synced automatically to the Outlook when you click the option again in the SharePoint.
    You can refer to the following articles to understand the SharePoint works with Outlook.

  • Unable to sync Outlook 2007 .pst file to iPhone 3GS

    Hi,
    I´ve been troubleshooting my problem for over a week now and getting exhausted with it.
    I have gotten some results leading to what the problem is and I will try to explain in a easy way below.
    I´m running Vista with iTunes 9.0.1.
    The problem started when I bought a new laptop and I used Windows Back up to transfer all my files to the new computer.
    So few days later I was syncing my computer with Outlook 2007 like I have been doing without problems on my previous laptop and I noticed that no new data was being transferred to the iPhone and back to the Outlook.
    I started Troubleshooting by reading your Discussion forum and found few methods to try.
    - Reset Sync History
    and all the basic stuff that I cannot list here as I will now tell you what I have found out.
    I created a new user account (Guest account)on the computer and a new email account user in outlook 2007. That creates a new .pst file for Outlook. I started Outlook and put in some contacts and few calendar items for me to sync with iTunes. I started iTunes and no problem syncing from the Guest Account.
    Ok I have isolated the problem to the .pst file from my original account. Now what I could do it make a copy of my .pst file and copy that onto my USB drive and transfer it to the Guest account and add it to the Outlook Personal Folder and the problem would be solved.
    I did so and of course it didn´t work.
    So I tried the other way around to take the new .pst file and copy that and install that on my original account to see if it would be able to sync there and that wouldn´t work either, the iPhone looses all Calendar and Contacts when being synced in my original account.
    I looks to me as iTunes on my original account is reading some .pst file that is blank and I don´t seem to know where it is as I´ve used "Search" to look for any additional .pst fines on my computer without any being found.
    Any thoughts on this issue.

    You've narrowed it down to your pst file, and the most likely explanation is that it is corrupted or has a bad record in it. This was a common problem a while ago when the phone first came out; I've seen it mentioned much less since. Usually the bad record is a contact; open Contacts in Outlook and check the first few entries; this is usually where Outlook displays bad records. Open each of them, make a change, and save it.
    Another option is to export the PST file using Outlook, then import the exported file (as a new PST). This usually fixes corrupt files.

    Thanks for the update, Hong.
    If we copy some emails to TechSupport folder, are those emails still visible in the TechSupportfolder?
    Although it doesn't look like a view problem, we may also try to open Outlook with /cleanviews switch to seek our fortune. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook /cleanviews and press Enter. We may also try to search for the missing emails using Instant Search to see if there is any result.
    In addition, we may also try to use the MFCMAPI tool to look into the TechSupport folder and check if we can see and open the missing emails. To do this, please follow the steps below:
    1. Download MFCMAPI tool: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/
    2. Exit Outlook and start MFCMAPI.exe.
    3. Click Session > Logon, choose your profile and click
    OK.
    4. Double-click the PST file that has this issue from the list.
    5. In the opened new window, expand Root Container > Top of Outlook data file > Inbox.
    6. Find and right-click the TechSupport folder under Inbox, select Open contents table.
    7. In the opened new window, check if you can see your emails in the upper portion of the window. If so, double-click an item to see if you can open the email in Outlook window.
    Please let me know the result.

  • How can I search for files in the "Save As" dialogue when saving attachment

    I receive a lot of graphics via email that are updates to existing graphics for a website. When I click on "Save Attachment As..." on the pop-up menu within Mail, a finder-like window appears that has a little search oval on it. I would like to be able to use this to find an existing file on my hard drive that I can select and replace with the file that I'm attempting to save. The only thing that I'm able to bring back is folders. Even when I click on "filename" and use the + sign and change to "name". No files appear in the search. When I get to the folder that I want, I still have to scroll forever to find the file name that I'm looking for. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or possible offer a better solution to my problem? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    You can enable the Finder to include System files in its search
    In a Finder finder window select Kind then Other… locate System files in the list and click the checkbox.

  • How do I exclude directories from Finder search results? I'm trying to find the biggest FILES on my computer and it keeps showing me "Macintosh HD" as the biggest, how can I search for files of type "NOT folder/directory"?

    Basically I've lost 10GB of free space over the last few weeks so my plan was to search for files modified in the last 2 weeks in order to figure out which ones are big and where that space went.
    So I open finder, go to "File > Find", and enter a search:
    Modified > In the last 2 weeks
    All fine so far.
    Problem is, it's showing whole directories as results. Which essentially means that when I order the list by size, Macintosh HD is at the top, followed by "Users", then "Applications", then one of my bigger movie files, then "Library", etc.
    How can I do a search which will ignore folders? I want individual files. Knowing that Macintosh HD is the biggest item on my computer and was modified in the last 2 weeks is utterly useless to me.
    Older versions of Finder in OS 9 had a feature where you could search for "files, whose type "IS NOT" folder", but OS X doesn't seem to have such a feature.
    Can anyone help?

    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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!

    dear Gents,
    i have the same issue, i do not want to use Microsoft outlook, i want to use mac mail.
    i have a PST file which its size is around 18 GB, i used PST Converter PRO, but it converted the PST file to a folder contans subfolder and files, the size of these folders are 68 MB.
    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.

  • 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.

    I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
    When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
    Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
    Please help!!

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.
