You can also try Stellar Compact PST software that Compact PST file to reduce its size & hence saves it from corruption.

I like your second solution (text file with names of PST); this is something I would probably run once or twice a year as I DO perform the occasional search in those files for some email or attachment (and thus a risk for corruption).

Thank you for your insight and clever solutions!

You can have multiple locations on the same cmdscan line... So your cmdscan statement can look like:
cmdscan D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\SCANPST.exe D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\covetMay.pst C:\Location2\Outlook\*.pst D:\Location3\*.pst > D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\autopst.tmp

The only issue with that is that if any one of your 37 files have errors, the script would rescan ALL of them!

Alternatively, you could create a file that lists all 37 PSTs and then use each line as an input into a for loop that runs 37 times. And, if any instance of the loop sends the "Error Found" message, rerun that same line before moving to the next PST.

But, honestly, it you don't regularly use/open all 37 PSTs, it seems unnecessary to make them part of your regular scans. I have a dozen old PSTs backed up as well, but I hardly ever scan them because I don't keep them open in Outlook and seldom reference them.

I have 37 PST files going back to early days of Outlook. As someone else has pointed out, if PST isn't in default location, wildcard (*.PST) doesn't work in batchfile. So my options are move PST back to default folder (ugh!) or do 37 different errorlevel loops.... unless you provide more inspiration! <g>
Thanks for your help and guidance.

Thanks for the update Mark. I will edit my script and remove the ().

Let me know if you think of any additional optimizations/enhancements!

FIXED:
IF %errorlevel% == 0 GOTO RESCAN

Re: Automating Outlook’s Inbox Repair Tool (ScanPST)

Mark — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 09:54:29 -0000

:RESCAN
cmdscan D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\SCANPST.exe D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\covetMay.pst > D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\autopst.tmp
FIND "Errors were found in this file." D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\autopst.tmp
echo CovetMay errorlevel = %errorlevel%
IF (%errorlevel%==0) GOTO RESCAN
DEL D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\autopst.tmp

I VERIFIED errorlevel = 0 (with the echo statement) but damned if it goes back to RESCAN. It seems when 'cmdscan ' is run, simple GOTO statements don't work.

Still stumped,
Mark

One way I can think to solve this is using the FIND command to see if the cmdscan output indicates "Errors were found" and rescan if true. So, my .bat file looks like this:

<hr>set ScanPST-location=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\scanpst.exe
set PST-location=C:\Users\me\Documents\Outlook Files
nircmdc closeprocess outlook.exe
nircmdc waitprocess outlook.exe

:RESCAN
cmdscan "%ScanPST-location%\*.pst" > "%PST-location%\autopst.tmp"

FIND "Errors were found in this file. To repair these errors, click Repair." "%PST-location%\autopst.tmp"
IF %errorlevel%==0 GOTO RESCAN

DEL "%PST-location%\autopst.tmp"<hr>

Excellent batchfile, thanks! But a question - as you're aware, it may take several runs of 'scanpst.exe' to completely eliminate errors. How does one run a loop command? Conventional 'for ... next' doesn't work, and using nircmd 'loop' doesn't work, either:
D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\nircmdc loop 5 D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\cmdscan D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\SCANPST.exe D:\DOCS\OUTLOOK\covetMay.pst

I'm stumped and appreciate input.
Thanks!

Nice, I like it! (I like Opera too of course!)
but this icon seems to fit in pretty well with the new default Ubuntu 10 theme! (I'm using it for the incognito icon actually :)
