What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
Outlook PSTs
Outlook PSTs is a:
Desktop-Based Application
This means Outlook PSTs typically runs as desktop software within the firm's office on employee PCs, however, some firms may use an IT provider that hosts Outlook PSTs on a remote server in a remote datacenter. In this scenario, firm members may RDP, TeamViewer, RemoteApp, or Screen Connect to a remote PC where they access Outlook PSTs. In this scenario, some people may say that Outlook PSTs runs 'in the cloud', however, it is really just a desktop application running on someone else's equipment.
Universal Migrator extracts data from Outlook PSTs via:
File-Share Connections
The following credentials are required:
Admin Outlook PSTs Credentials
The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into Outlook PSTs in order to extract your data.
Admin Credentials into the Outlook PSTs File Server
The Migration Specialist will need the Administrator username and password into the Outlook PSTs file server in order to extract your documents.
This should be the Administrator account and not another account that has administrative access.
The computer used to migrate from Outlook PSTs:
Should be located near the Documents
Because Outlook PSTs is a desktop-based application and documents represent a majority of the data that will need to be transferred, the computer used for the migration should be near the same device that stores the documents.
The following people are required for a migration from Outlook PSTs:
Migration Specialist
The Migration Specialist is the person who will be performing this migration. They may be a member of Universal Migrator's own Internal Migration Team or any IT professional who has completed the Universal Consultant training program.
Firm Administrator
The Firm Administrator is a member of the law firm who can serve as a dedicated point of contact, make decisions, and answer any questions the Migration Consultant may have. This person should be readily available and is typically the managing partner or office manager of the firm.
Firm IT Administrator
