Anyone know how to scour lots of Kace-connected C: drives for .pst files?
I have about 250 machines I managed with K1000. Need to find all machines that have *.pst on the C: drive. Hoping K1000 can help.

I don't have machines with the the .pst on the root of C:, but see if this works. It worked on my .txt files.
Custom Inventory:
ShellCommandTextReturn(dir /S C:\*.pst)

dir /? in a CMD prompt will give you more options. I'm not sure of what all info you need? - dugullett 11 years ago
I used the robocopy script below for this before. But I had a specific directory (c:\PST)I was pulling from on the machines. Copies the contents to a share under a folder with the computer name.
robocopy "C:\PST" "\\yourserver\PST\%COMPUTERNAME%" /e /v /R:10 /W:30 /LOG+:\\yourserver\pst\log.txt
We have earmarked a tool from MS called PST Capture we may look at using for ingesting users PSTs to Office365...don't have any experience with it yet but sounds promising...

create a custom inventory
ShellCommandTextReturn(wmic datafile where "extension='pst'" list instance)
then create a computer report and filter where that custom entry is not null
