I gotcha..

When I wrote this original process, we were moving PSTs from local machines to a file share after disconnecting them from the user's Outlook config. We renamed them from .PST to .TSP so users would not find and attach them from the share. In our process to add messages to the vault, we processed just a few departments per day - about 50 users per day. This was about as much as the back-end process to import them into the archive system could handle. For 2500 users, it took about 60-70 days to complete the project to move everything to the vault and eliminate PSTs.

Using this method, most users were without their PST messages for at most a day, so there was no need to re-attach them to their PSTs on the file server.
