[SOLVED] Exclude .pst files in USMT

[greengiant89]

I am trying to configure a script that runs USMT however i want it to exclude just outlook pst and ost files as some of my users have massive files. i dont want to exclude outlook as a whole from USMT as i want it to save rules etc. is there a ways of editing th mig files to do what I want? i will be running the script via powershell.

You can exclude specific things in the config.xml

"For this reason, excluding components using the Config.xml file is easier than modifying the migration .xml files, because you don't need to be familiar with the migration rules and syntax. "


"To exclude a component from the Config.xml file, set the migrate value to no. Deleting the XML tag for the component from the Config.xml file will not exclude the component from your migration. "
