Updating PSTs after installing the Single Sign on Application

Brett Hill — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:57:00 GMT

Edit

When you install the single sign on tool, it will automatically create a new profile for you that is hooked up to the services. This is very cool, however, it can be surprising to see that your local inbox is no longer visible.

You can fix that easily enough by simply adding your local PST back into the new profile.

1. Open Outlook 2007, on the File menu, click Data File Management, and then click Add.

2. Your PST files will be located in the path that you identified before migration.

3. Click Add, select Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst), and then click OK.

4. Navigate to the folder containing your PST files, that you identified before migration, select one of your PST files, type a name for the selected file, and then click OK.

5. Repeat for each of your PST files.
