Procedure – in more detail

This guide is based on a Windows 7 domain computer with English as the user interface language and the

Danish office language pack. Individual points may have slightly different names in other

versions/configurations and the procedure may vary very slightly, but the principles are the same.

Exporting contacts

Open Outlook and go to Contacts.

Under File select ’Import and Export’, and then ‘Export to a file’ + Next

Select ’Personal Folder File (.pst)’. Next.

Select Contacts (and ’Include subfolders’, if there are any). Next.

Using Browse, save a new .pst file somewhere where you can find it again.

\\ad.nfit.au.dk\NFDFS\Users\UserID\Desktop\OutlookBU.pst has been used below

(i.e. the desktop on a domain machine) – another location may also be used.

Navigate to the desired location and enter a name for the file.

Click OK.

Open Outlook and go to Tasks.

Under File select ’Import and Export’, and then ‘Export to a file’ + Next
