Hi team,

 

Can we assign PST ownership based on the PST file owner? for deleted mailbox from the content.


Thanks,

Amr

Hey Amr:

I am assuming this is for PST ingestion via the Mailbox agent, correct?

There are a few options for setting the owner of the PST including based on the owner:

Its important to note that the file owner is going to be based on what can be scraped directly from the File system metadata of the PST itself. If that metadata is modified by something external to whomever actually created or last modified that PST (say for instance by some sort of security or virus scan software), there is nothing that can really be done to find the original owner!
