To add multiple PST files for migration

1. Specify the details of PST files that you want to add in a CSV file, each on a separate line, in the following format:

   UNCPath,Mailbox,Archive,ArchiveType,RetentionCategory,Priority,Language

   Where:

   • UNCPath (mandatory) is the UNC path along with the file name of the PST file that you want to add.

   • Mailbox (optional) is the display name of the mailbox that you want this PST file to be associated with in the archive.

   • Archive (optional) is the name of the archive.

   • ArchiveType (optional) is the type of archive. You can specify either "Exchange Mailbox" or "Internet Mail". If you specify a mailbox, the PST is migrated to the associated Exchange Mailbox archive. If you do not specify a mailbox, Enterprise Vault looks for the archive in both Exchange Mailbox archives and Internet Mail archives. If only one archive is found, Enterprise Vault sets the archive type as that of the found archive and migrates the file to that archive. If multiple entries are found, then Enterprise Vault migrates the file to the Exchange Mailbox archive. Note that you cannot associate a mailbox with an Internet Mail archive.

   • RetentionCategory (optional) is the retention category that should be applied to the contents of this PST file when it is archived.

     Note:

     Some Enterprise Vault features, such as the retention folders and classification features, can override the specified retention category. For more information on retention, see the Administrator's Guide.

   • Priority (optional) is the priority in which the PST Migrator should start migrating the contents of this file.

     1 - Critical

     2 - Important

     3 - High

     4 - Medium

     5 - Low

     6 - lowest

   • Language (optional) specifies the language that the PST Migrator is to use if it needs to create folder names in the mailbox. PST Migrator must use the same Windows code page that was used when the PST file was created.

   Note the following:

   • The CSV file must be saved as a Unicode file. You can use Windows Notepad to create such files.

   • If the first line of the CSV file fails to process, Enterprise Vault considers the line to be the header row and ignores it during processing.

   • If a value contains space characters or commas, enclose it in quotation marks.

   • List separators are required even when you do not specify optional parameters.

   The following is a sample CSV file:

   UNCPath,Mailbox,Archive,ArchiveType,RetentionCategory,Priority,Language,DirectoryServer,
     SiteName
   
   \\Server\E$\PSTBackup\Backup.pst,"Mailbox,Z",Archive,"Exchange Mailbox",Default,2,
     Western European,,
   \\abc.xyz.com\c$\user1.pst,,"IMAP1","Internet Mail",RC1,1,Arabic,EVServer1,SiteA
   \\Server1\D$\PSTs\HR.pst,,,,,,,,

2. In the Administration Console, expand Personal Store Management > Files.
3. Right-click and select Add > Multiple on the menu.
4. In the Add multiple PST files dialog box, browse to select the CSV file that contains the details of the files that you want to add.
