Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to poll for PST files on all the clients on my network.

TIA!

Your best bet is probablay doing basic file searches. There have been a number of previous forums posts on finding PSTs and then auditing them for location, size, dates etc. You can search the forum for “PST” to see past examples that you may be able to build upon for your use case.

Here is one based on a file search.

Thanks for answering so quickly!

I am getting an error on the property though…

EDIT

I waited a bit and it updated with the PST info.

Is there a way to change the length output to show in MB or GB?

TIA!

Yes. The PowerShell command is retrieve the size in bytes, you can simple convert that integer to either MB or GB via the property relevance, e.g.

For MB

Q: (1292633088 / (1024 * 1024))
A: 1232
T: 1.207 ms
I: singular integer

For GB (to 2 decimal places)

Q: relative significance place 2 of (1292633088 / (1024 * 1024 * 1024) as floating point)
A: 1.20
T: 0.617 ms
I: singular floating point
