Veritas Enterprise Vault™ PST Migration

To exclude network shares from PST migration using the PstLocatorTask.exe.config file

1. On the Enterprise Vault server that runs the PST Locator task, start Windows Explorer and navigate to the Enterprise Vault program folder (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault).

2. Do one of the following:

   • If the PstLocatorTask.exe.config file exists in the folder, copy it to a safe location.

   • If there is no PstLocatorTask.exe.config file, create it by copying and renaming the file Example PstLocatorTask.exe.config.

3. Open the PstLocatorTask.exe.config file in a text editor such as Windows Notepad.
4. Search for the following text:

   <PSTSettings>

5. Immediately below this heading, add a line to list the network shares that you do not want to search. The syntax is as follows:

   <add key="SharesToAvoid" value="share_1;share_2;share_3..."/>

   Where share_1, share_2, and so on, comprise a semicolon-separated list of the UNC paths of the network shares. For example, to exclude the shares \\myComputer\C$ and \\yourComputer\G$, you would type the following:

   <add key="SharesToAvoid" value="\\myComputer\C$;\\yourComputer\G$"/>

6. Save and close the file.
7. In the Administration Console, restart the PST Locator task.
