SysAdmin Talk

In a previous article I mentioned how to create users and computers in active directory, the first stage of testing the PST Importer (and ESA). The next step is to go to Exchange and create mailboxes to the users that we just created and for further comfortable management, add access permissions to them where needed.

Here in the Information Systems team at Red Gate Software we wanted to do two things in one go:

1. Find out how big (or hopefuly small!) our own PST problem is, and
2. Test our new PST Importer tool

To accomplish both objectives we used Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 to deploy the PST Importer Agent to all corporate desktops.
