How to Determine the Current PST Enterprise Configuration

This article applies to the Barracuda PST Enterprise version 3.1 or higher.

When re-installing, upgrading, or migrating the PST Enterprise system, you must note your existing system configuration:

Version 5.2 and Later

The current configuration is stored in the System.ini file in the Local Configuration Store (LCS) directory on the PST Enterprise server (C:\ProgramData\Barracuda\PSTEnterprise\LocalConfigurationStore).

Open the System.ini file in a text editor such as Notepad, and make a note of the following values:

The PST Enterprise service account name (by default named PSTEnterpriseAdmin)
The PST Enterprise Administrators security group (by default named PSTEnterpriseUsers)
The SQL instance used to host the PST Enterprise database (by default LOCALHOST\PSTEnterprise)

Version 5.1 and Earlier

The PST Enterprise Admin account name (by default named PSTEnterpriseAdmin):

This can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Barracuda\PSTEnterprise\Web\web.config.
Open this file in an editor such as Notepad, and find the line:
<add key="AccountName" value="DOMAIN\PSTEnterpriseAdmin"></add>
where DOMAIN\PSTEnterpriseAdmin is the Active Directory (AD) domain and PST Enterprise Admin account name.

The PST Enterprise Administrators security group (by default named PSTEnterpriseUsers):

This can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Barracuda\PSTEnterprise\Web\web.config.
Open this file in an editor such as Notepad, and find the line:
<add key="AuthenticationGroupName" value="PSTEnterpriseUsers"></add>
where PSTEnterpriseUsers is the security group name.

The SQL instance used to host the PST Enterprise database (by default LOCALHOST\PSTEnterprise):

This can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Barracuda\PSTEnterprise\Web\web.config.
Open this file in an editor such as Notepad, and find the line:
<add name="PSTDataConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source="SERVER\PSTENTERPRISE";Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=PSTEnterprise" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"></add>
where SERVER\PSTENTERPRISE is the SQL instance name.
