Installing PST Importer 365

Prerequisites

• On the PST Importer Console host computer:

  - Microsoft® Outlook® 2010 32-bit (Outlook MAPI is required) or Microsoft Outlook 2007

  - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later

• On the computers to be searched:

  - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later

• Microsoft Office 365 or Microsoft BPOS Suite accounts

Installation overview

1. Install the PST Importer Console.

   The PST Importer Console provides the interface for you to configure and manage PST Importer 365.

2. Install the PST Agent on the computers to be searched for PST files.

Installing the PST Importer Console

Install the PST Importer Console by running the installer downloaded from the Red Gate Web site. This installs the console and the Central Service on the local (host) computer, and places the installers for the PST Agent in your installation folder.

When prompted for a User name and Password for the Central Service account, ensure that the user account is a domain user account.

After installing the PST Importer Console, you must install the PST Agent on the computers you want to search. (By default, an agent is installed on the Central Service). You must do this before you set up your PST Search list.

To use the PST Importer Console, on the Start menu, select Red Gate and then PST Importer 365.

Installing the PST Agent

Before installing the PST Agent, ensure you have installed the PST Importer Console and the Central Service on the host computer. You then install the PST Agent on the computers that you want to search, or from which you want to import PST files.

The PST Agent communicates with the Central Service when you search for, and import, PST files.

If you run a PST search on a computer where the PST Agent has not been installed, no search results will be retrieved (except searches on the host computer, which has the Agent Service installed).

To install the PST Agent:

1. Copy the PST Agent installer to the computer that you want to search.

   As part of installing the PST Importer Console on the host computer, the PST Agent installer is saved to your installation folder; by default, this is:

   C:\Program Files\Red Gate\PST Importer 365 1\Installers

   If you are unable to locate the PST Agent Installer, on the Tools menu, click Locate PST Agent Installer.

2. Run the installer (*.msi).
3. On the Installation Folder page, choose a folder on the current computer.
4. On the PST Central Service page:

   

   • In the Server box, enter the host name of the computer on which you installed the PST Importer Console and Central Service (for example, server1.example.com).
   • Leave the Port setting as the default value (6674), unless you have explicitly changed the Central Service port using the General settings tab in the PST Importer Console Settings dialog box.

For each computer that you want to search for PST files, you must copy the installer onto that computer and run it from that location.
