Convert OST File to PST Manually

OST file is the Offline Storage File of Microsoft Outlook, which is automatically created when we configure an account at the client end, connected to Exchange Server. The OST files are same as PST files (Personal Storage Table). OST and PST files, both, are created at same location. PST file is directly synchronized with the network instead of Microsoft Exchange Server and user can read the archived data.

So if we want to migrate OST file out of Exchange Server environment, we need to convert OST file to PST, so that, we can access the mails and documents without connecting to Exchange Server. Extract OST to PST process can be carried out in local system without using any third-party tool.
