MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2007Apparent PST corruption after Outlook 2007 upgrade.
We are in the process of upgrading our users to Outlook 2007. The process has been to remove whatever version of Outlook they are currently running (be it 2000 or 2003), restart the computer and then install the stand-alone Outlook 2007 application. This has been on Windows XP SP2. One of our users had two pst files stored locally to her machine. Before the upgrade, they were relatively substantial in size and of course of different size, approximately 200-600MBs, but afterwards the file size was 256kb for both and empty. Scanpst was able to see 7 folders but 0 items, and when the "repaired" pst files were opened, there were no additional files, only deleted items and search folders in the drop down. Does anyone have any ideas about what could have caused this and ideas on their recovery? > We are in the process of upgrading our users to Outlook 2007.

Sounds to me as if the install of Outlook 2007 created an additional pst file rather than using the existing one. Have you searched the HDD for other pst files? > > We are in the process of upgrading our users to Outlook 2007.

Gordon, I just logged on to let ya'll know that exact thing had happened. Our user thought her pst files were stored locally, but they were in fact on the network and Outlook 2007 had created empty copies locally on the HDD. Thanks for the quick reply. >> > We are in the process of upgrading our users to Outlook 2007.

One thing however, you DO know that MS does NOT support pst files over a network? If you lose data through corrupt pst files you're on your own? |
