Sometimes, when a user attempts to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server, s/he is unable to do so. This may occur due to numerous reasons, like network problems, synchronization issues, and mailbox corruption. In such cases, since a user is unable to connect to the server, s/he is unable to access or update the OST file. To overcome such problems, the user needs to convert this OST file into a PST file and connect it with the Microsoft Exchange Server. To systematically convert the file, a user needs to search for an effective third-party OST to PST application.

To explain the above case, consider a practical situation where you are unable to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server after repetitive attempts. On viewing the event logs, you find the below information:
