PST and PAB Folder Manipulation

Recently, I was tasked to change the path of the PST and PAB paths due to a change in the drive mapping for 14000 users. I was able to do this but had to create two modules to perfrom the task. A binary to string module was created to read hex bin data out of the registry. A kix32 wrapper was used to ensure all checks are in place prior to the registry modification. Well, I had to make sure that the Messaging Subsystem was backed first prior to making any changes.



No reported issues encountered. I had a good feeling after, of after a lot of painful testing. No pain no gain.

No major issues encountered. 12000 user profiles and script is still running. The file migration is almost aover and is just doing domain cleanup.
