Connect a laptop not hooked up to the domain (will ignore domain group policies) Setup a user on that laptop and setup file sharing Connect a USB drive to that laptop and share it Access the laptop as \\ip.address\sharename and authenticate to it with a local account Copy the PST to this network share Let the other campus administrator deal with the headache of putting her files onto her new machine. Would take about 2 minutes to set this up if you have a laptop handy. -- Leonid S.

Can't use 3rd party "file splitter software" unless I get waver or gor throu an approval process or it is a Microsoft branded utility for said pupose. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
