I’ve Made A Huge Mistake

In Exchange 2003 when you use the Move Mailbox wizard, it generates an XML report file. This is located at C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\Exchange Task Wizard Logs\something.xml

If you have to actually read this log file you’ll notice that you do not have the XLST Style Sheet meaning when you open the file up, it will look like this.

That Is A Little Hard To Read

There is a way to get that formatted all nice and neat so you can read it. You need to download and install the Exchange 2003 SDK. You can get that located here, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5CA18D40-5A37-4A20-94AE-6A6CF6CB846D&displaylang=en

Once that is installed you need to browse to the directory, C:\Program Files\Exchange SDK\SDK\Samples\TaskWizard. That is if you used the default install path. Once in there you need to add the TaskWizardRun.xlst file to the same directory as the XML file. Then in the XML file you need to add

<?xml-stylesheet type=”text/xsl” href=”TaskWizardRun.xslt”?>

To the second line of the file. Now when you open up this file it will look like this.

Much Better

Also included in the directory where you found the XLST file is a file called TaskWizard.hta. This allows you to browse to an XML file and view it in a similar style as adding the line to the XML file.
