SYMPTOMS
========

When you have migrated a user's messages to a PST file, the user may not be able
to open the migrated PST file with his or her Exchange account.

CAUSE
=====

The Migration Wizard assigns a random password for the PST file. This password
is not the same as the individual user's logon password.

RESOLUTION
==========

The PST password is located in the Pst.password file. This file is located in
the directory where the PST file was created. The Event Viewer will record the
following:

  Event Id: 10075
  Source: MSExchangeMig
  Type: Information
  Category: None
  Description:
  Passwords for new PST files are listed in the file:
  :\\PST.PASSWORD.
