OST to PST converter

[Bill]

Hi,

Does Microsoft have a program available that can convert a users .OST file
to a .PST file? I would think so since we run Exchange 2003 Enterprise, but
I can not find anything on the net except 3rd party programs.

A users mailbox move failed during a transfer when suddenly all the mailbox
moves died to to all exchange stores going offline.

I was able to recover some emails but her Calendar and Contacts are gone.

I need some way to fix this. Her account was corrupted as well so we had to
set up a new account for her.

What can I do to try to restore contacts and calendar?

If MS does not have such a program, may I suggest you create one for us IT
people in these situations.

A restore from backup did not work since her account is on the newer server
and was in conflict with her old profile which was purged.

I'm lost for a solution.

MS does not have a convertor

I would like to make a suggestion that Microsoft might want to consider
making one for us with Technet Subscriptions. It would be a great help in
the IT field in helping recover mailboxes that can't be restored in other
ways.

Since they already exist and since Microsoft already gets accused enough of
monopolizing the industry. I would think it in their best interest to allow
the marketplace to supply the converters, as it already has, and not get
into it themselves. I have no doubt that if they see a tool they like well
enough, they'll buy it and offer it as their own, as they did with Windows
Defender, Lookout, the entire sysinternals web site, and others.

You mean about the part to become a member?

Not true. These newsgroups are freely accessible via a newsreader like
Windows Live Mail. The newsgroups are hosted by Microsoft. Any website that
claims the ownership of the newsgroup is only copying the content from the
Microsoft servers (usually to make their forums look busy).

An overview of Outlook newsgroups can be found here;

The article you are replying to is nearly one year old! The
NNTP-Posting-Date is:

| Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 08:34:49 -0400

Fortunately, Google Groups is a nearly permanent archive:

<http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.outlook.general/msg/a08f7bed845f8100>

What is this "required to be a member" question about? There is nothing in
the original post, nor in your posting headers, to indicate that membership
is required; unless "HostDime.com, Inc." is running there own NNTP servers,
and requiring you to be a subscriber of their service to access their
servers.

However, 'msnews.microsoft.com' is a publicly available NNTP server, and
anybody with a proper news client can access the 'public' MS newsgroups
without a membership.

Is what real? You included nothing but a quote of something I wrote a long,
long time ago. If you mean is my assertion that Microsoft would purchase a
third-party tool and make it their own if they found it of enough value, then,
it is real, or, at least it's my opinion that it's real, and Microsoft did
purchase the engine behind Windows Defender, Lookout, and the sysinternals web
site.
