Problem
During evidence ingestion or "Add Evidence", processing of a certain PST or NSF file consistently fails while other evidence processes without error.
Resolution
If the AccessData application is unable to expand a PST/NSF, the structure of the PST/NSF may have issues that cause problems for the evidence processing engine (EP). The following are procedures to attempt to remedy this:
PST
Must have a version of Outlook installed for this to work.
Run Scan PST (scanPST.exe)
Refer to these articles for more detail about running Scanpst.
NSF
Must have a version of Lotus Notes installed for this to work
Place nsf into C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\data\Fixed\ then do the following
Start Menu
RUN
cmd
cd C:\Program Files\lotus\notes
nfixup Fixed\TEST.nsf -F
