Unassigned PSTs

  • Last updated on

This article refers to the Barracuda PST Enterprise version 5.1 or higher.

PST files that are found connected to an Outlook account are added and display in the Assigned PSTs tab. PST files found on the local file system if the owner can be determined, and you have selected the Automatically Assign Owner, also display in the Assigned PSTs tab. Otherwise, these PSTs are added to the Unassigned PSTs tab.

If you are processing PST files found on the local file system and an owner is not automatically assigned, you must manually assign each PST file in the Unassigned PSTs tab:

PST Health

The Health column indicates the health of a PST. If there were problems opening and searching the PST (such as if the access caused a crash in the PST Processor) the PST will be marked as 'Corrupt' in this column, in which case PST Enterprise will not open or process it. You should examine the PST, and make any steps necessary to repair it, such as using ScanPST.exe supplied with Outlook. If you have repaired the PST you can select it and click the 'Mark as Healthy' button to cause the PST Processor to retry processing it.
