Hi,

 

Set the location as \\pc-name\c$ and the .csv was generated, have around 100 machines to scan so will give the OU scan method a go to see if that generates the .csv successfully.

Thanks,

Richard

    I'm getting the same results.  The .csv file is generated when you use the UNC path.  DN and FQDN output files are .xml and .log file

      Wonder if it is a bug in the tool, who would we contact at Microsoft about this?

    From testing, the CSV is never generated when using the OU or Machine location method. The logs do inidcate that PSTs have been found. When I use the UNC path for the c$ on the machine it does generate the CSV file.

     

    Has anyone got the tool working by using the DN or FQDN?
