Hi, Linkang If the need to convert Outlook OST file to PST format arises, There are no PowerShell commands that can read OST files or convert OST to PST, the problem is that Microsoft never really exposed OST file format in .NET classes, which means PowerShell's got nothing to build on but there are some manual methods and third-party tools you could potentially use. One such trustworthy tool is Shoviv OST to PST file Converter.
So, as far as converting OST to PST using PowerShell is concerned, it isn’t feasible as of now.
Convert OST to PST file Manually:-
- Open MS Outlook.
- Click the File menu.
- Select the “Import and Export” wizard or press ‘t’.
- From the list, click the “Export to a file” option and then click Next button
- Select Personal File Folder (.pst) and then click Next button.
- Select the items to be exported or Click on parent root and check the Include sub-folders option.
- Browse and select the target folder for saving the email items.
