PST Finder

The Fortisware PST Finder is an agent-less IT-Pro tool for locating PST files on a local network and enabling automated removal, archiving to storage and import to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 -- including support for the new Exchange 2010 online archive.

Rich reporting features make it easy to look for recently-modified PST files on the network and to monitor the status of automated imports. Determine the size of PST files on an individual and domain level for planning purposes; aggregate size data can be used to establish centralized storage needs or Exchange mailbox capacity.

Take control of PST creation through policy-level controls: PST Finder can also disable the generation of new PST files in the future on an individual workstation or domain level.

PST Finder scans your network for PST files, helping you find unmanaged emails.

PST Finder shows you the PST files found in your local network.

Filter your scan results to recently-used PST files.

Manage your PSTs by backing them up, or importing them into Exchange mailboxes.
