USMT, PSTs, Network Shares and LocalOnly Switch

[Guest MikeD001]

Users have Redirected Folders so there is no local data on their PC. Their PSTs are linked to Outlook and may be located on Network shares or the local drives. I added LocalOnly switch to ignore copying any data from the network share. But USMT still copies the PST files from the network share.

It seems as if the Office/Outlook portion of USMT reads the linked Outlook files out of the registry and overrides the local switch.

I need this to not copy the PST files from the network shares and to only copy PSTs from the local drives. If I must, will I have to exclude PSTs altogether from the XML fils?

Here are some lines from the Scanstate log:

Thanks for the advice.
