How to Migrate PSTs into Google
File/Folder Setup
1. Create a parent folder called PST in your desired location.
2. Create a subfolder under this PST folder for each user whose PST you are migrating. Name it with the user’s full email address.
Example:
C://PST (parent)
user1@domain.com (subfolder)
user2@domain.com (subfolder)
user3@domain.com (subfolder)
3. Place each user’s PST file(s) inside their respective folder.
Example:
C://PST (parent)
user1@domain.com (subfolder)
file1.pst (file)
file-2.pst (file)
4. Create a .csv file with no column headings. The first (and only) column of the .csv should include the full email addresses of the users whose PST are being migrated. Only the users who have a PST should be listed in the .csv.
GWMME Configuration
5. Open GWMME.
6. On step 1 select the third option, “Specify a folder with PST files.” Click the ellipsis to change the location to the source of the PST files and click, Next.
7. In step 2 enter the Google Workspace domain name. This is the primary domain of your Google tenant.
Enter the admin user account you wish to use to connect to Google Workspace and perform the migration.
Click the ellipsis to navigate to the location of the service account credentials file. This is currently located in the Google Drive of the resultant@merrimackcounty.net account (account is being used as an example). You will need to download it locally to the machine you are performing the migration from. Alternatively, you can generate a new credentials file by clicking the link that reads “authorize GWMME for your account” and following those instructions. Once the file is obtained and its location added in the tool, click the next button to proceed.
8. In step 3 match the checkboxes to those shown below. In the “File of accounts to migrate:” section click the ellipsis to select the .csv file you created back in the file/folder setup section of this document. Once the .csv file is loaded into the tool, click next to proceed.
9. On the review screen, review everything entered up to this point for accuracy and use the back buttons if changes are necessary. Once you have verified everything is correct make sure the checkboxes match what is shown below and click next to proceed to the pre-migration tests.
10. Once all diagnostic checks come back with a green success message you are ready to begin the migration by clicking “Start.”
If any of the checks come back with a red “Error” then you will need to fix the appropriate item before you can proceed. Errors will be displayed with information to help you to resolve the issue.
