Hi,
I'm part of a consulting team migrating 8 hospitals in Northern
Virginia from Groupwise to Exchange. The current way of determining
the Groupwise E-mail archive location is to have a tech physically
visit the workstation a user is logged on, open the client, got to
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> File Location and take a
screenshot. The information is then entered into a spreadsheet
visually from a paper copy and the spreadsheet info is used for the
migration.
Apparently they have a tool to convert the archives to PST files once
they are found and if we techs find them on the local machine we are
supposed to move
them to a Network server.
My question is, doesn't this information, say for example, the path
H:\archive\, exist in some text or binary file either locally or on
the network or both and is therefore retrievable for the spreadsheet?
Does anybody know of a free tool to do this? Alternatively I should
mention they have a programmer on staff, can anyone give me
instructions I can relay to him to write a script?
I know there's at least 1 or 2 commercial products that can do both
the archive path locating and the conversion, but I just want the
path. I know there are freeware tools to extract text from binary
files, so if the path is in text (and shouldn't it be?) embedded in a
binary file, it should be extractable. |
