Backing up user's personal folder
Hello group!
I have some questions regarding on how to achieve the creation of a
pst file from email account of specified users on the Exchange Server
we have.
Most of our network users has a personal network drive where they can
store their stuff and, one of the feature implemented here is the
creation of a pst file on that same network drive which get backed up
automatically each night.
The project I am working on consist of disabling and deleting user
accounts in the AD of the company. Some of these user accounts does NOT
have a personal network map. So they do not have their pst file
available for backups.
What I need to do when I delete an AD account is, first, get all the
content of the user's mailbox on the exchange server then, move it to a
specific location for backup.
I don't know how to proceed with this and I ask you people on the best
way I should do that, if it's possible of course!
I've read a bit and WebDAV seems to provide some functionalities for
this but, I'm not sure on the creation of a pst file... I might
consider to just compress the moved emails and all that as well but, I
need to know the best way to move email boxes and if possible, get some
informations on the things to know, security-wise and development-wise.
I will develop with .NET 1.1 C#.
Thanks a lot for reading and I'm looking forward to read your
suggestions, pointers and/or comments!

Re: Backing up user's personal folder
I too am interested in the best way to do this. I will have to do the same
thing myself very shortly.
I'll be happy to ugrade to .Net 2.0 if that makes any difference.

Re: Backing up user's personal folder
First, .pst on a network drive is not a supported config, and is more
trouble than it's worth. Why not have the users keep mail in Exchange?
As for the other, I simply use exmerge to extract the user's mail to a
pst and then delete the user.

Re: Backing up user's personal folder
This might be achieved with a combination of vbscript and CDO scripting
tools. There is also an Exchange utility called Exmerge than can be used for
coping data to an from a PST file.
