I would like to run in a login script utility that get a list of
active PST path

I know that the info is in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

and than to compare each PST file date with it's backup location (each user backup his pst to \\server\%username%)

if the file does not exists on the backup server --> echo "file X does not exist on the backup server..."
else
check if the file on the backup server is older than X days
echo ..." file X is out dated on the backup server - please backup your PST today"
else
do nothing....


the purpose is to warn the users if one of their active pst file is not current on the backup server.


i"m new to writing scripts - so any input is appriciated
 
The full path to the PST files is embedded inside of the store entry ids -
look at the store's PR_ENTRYID with MdbView or OutlookSpy to see what I
mean.
