Performing Outlook PST discovery

PST files are Microsoft Outlook files that contain all the mail users get as well as all their contacts, calendar meetings, tasks, etc. PST files can contain data for more than 1 user.

To perform discovery on email on Outlook PST data files:

  1. Create a discovery policy (see Creating a discovery policy section for instructions).
  2. In the Data Security module of the Security Manager, go to the Main > Policy Management > Discovery Policies page.
  3. Under Network Discovery Tasks, select Add network task > Email Discovery > Outlook PST Task from the drop-down list.
  4. Complete the fields on the screen and click Next to proceed through a wizard. See Outlook PST tasks section.
  5. After completing all of the steps in the wizard, to deploy the changes, click Yes when prompted.

Discovery will take place at the scheduled time and day. To start discovery immediately, click Start. A message indicates when the scan finishes.

To view and respond to discovery results, go to the Main > Reporting > Discovery page. See Viewing the incident list section.
