PST only have their passwords, as in the PST p/w. It has nothing to do with the mailbox name.
You probably have to crack into it again. How many items are in the PST ? Q159163 states no more than 16,384 items. But it sounds like the brownout toasted the file. -----Original Message----- From: Desiree Herrmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 00:05 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: evil pst dilemma I have a user with a 1.8 GB pst file, Personal Folders, he moves all items from the server to his workstation(because I finally stuck to the limits for all users in Exchange, 100MB mailboxes), gets backed up once a week. I have already had to break into the pst because he forgot the password. Now, a strange situation, he was in the middle of moving a file to a Personal Folder when the power to the building went down, a brown out, including his workstation, rebooted. Servers fine, UPS. So, once booted back up the Outlook client locks or won't complete a move, copy, anything all the way through in his Personal Folders that he was working with. I am attempting to play with the pst file on a separate PC so as not to mess with what's on his system. I was successful in copying the file to another workstation, but can't open it Personal Folder in his account, it prompts me for a password. Do I need to try to break into the folder again, or is it possibly that I'm logged into the machine as Administrator, and his mailbox as his username. Do I need to log on as him?
