Hi I am looking for OST to PST Conversion in a Uni environment; we have a large user mailboxes to convert. Let me clear one thing here that I am purely looking for conversion instead of recovery process. Is there any utility that would convert n number of user’s OST in a mailboxes, where “n” could be any number of users.

Yes, the OST to PST Converter is the suitable program for your need. But if you are getting recovery as an additional benefit with conversion then I don’t think it is unworthy. In any future case you may need to recovery feature too. OST to PST Converter is not just a recovery tool but a conversion utility too.

No I don’t mind that if recovery is a part of process, but I think it should run internally & should be hidden. The instruction should carry the info of conversion instead of recovery.

OK. Let’s say you run the software and get instruction to browse your OST file. If you know that your OST file is not corrupted then don’t select the option of Advance Scan which is recommended when your OST is corrupt. Then further process would lead you toward the export process in other word OST to PST Conversion process.

Hmm, Got your point. Does this program need to install individually on each user’s machine or can it work in a uni network?

Both conditions can be true. The software need only OST files, there is no need of server, so we can convert all the OST files only at a single machine. The tool can also take OST files from network drive (a large or small network environment) or the software can be deployed on every individual machine.

Well thanks a lot for your valuable thoughts. One more thing I would like to confirm, I am having environ of Exchange 2013. So if I use the utility I hope I will not get the compatibility issue, But after the conversion the PST file I get, would it be accessible in MS Outlook 2007. As I need to access them in my testing machines which are running Office 2007 suite.

Off course not, you will not get any compatibility issues while OST to PST conversion. Any version of your OST file is compatible with the tool. And the converted PST file, you can access in your Outlook 2007 without any doubt

Thanks again for your helpful & valuable assistance. I will surely give a try to this utility.
