Is it possible to batch convert OST to PST for multiple users?

[sanmart]

Yes, you can batch convert OST to PST for multiple users, but not through Outlook’s manual export option. Outlook handles one profile at a time, which makes bulk conversion slow and complicated. To batch convert OST to PST, you need a tool that supports adding multiple OST files at once. For example, SysInfo OST to PST Converter allows you to select several OST files or an entire folder and convert them into PST format in one go. It keeps each user’s mailbox data separate, maintains folder hierarchy, and preserves emails, contacts, calendars, and attachments.

Absolutely, batch converting OST to PST can save a lot of time, especially in environments with multiple users. Manual export through Outlook quickly becomes cumbersome since it processes one profile at a time. Using a specialized converter allows you to handle several OST files simultaneously while keeping mailbox data organized. In a way, managing multiple file conversions efficiently is similar to visualizing a 2D to 3D model — you’re transforming flat data into a structured, usable format without losing any critical details.Such tools typically preserve folder hierarchies, attachments, and metadata, ensuring nothing is lost in the process. They also streamline the workflow for administrators handling multiple accounts, making it far less error-prone than doing each export manually. For large organizations, this approach is practically essential to maintain efficiency and data integrity.
