You click Export to a PST file, and then you're prompted to install the eDiscovery PST Export Tool. However, after you install and start the eDiscovery PST Export Tool, you experience one of the following symptoms:

If you're using Windows Internet Explorer 9.0 or later, the application tries to connect but then crashes without displaying an error message. If you're using a third-party browser, you receive the following error message:

  • Local intranet zone settings aren't set up correctly in Internet Explorer.

  • You're using an outgoing proxy server, and the connection times out.

SOLUTION

To resolve this issue, do one or more of the following, as appropriate for your situation.

SCENARIO 1: You're using Internet Explorer 9.0 or later, and you don't have the .NET Framework 4.5 or later installed.

Install the .NET Framework 4.5 or later.

SCENARIO 2: Local intranet zone settings aren't set up correctly in Internet Explorer.

Make sure that https://*.outlook.com is added to the Local intranet zone in Internet Explorer.

Additionally, make sure that the following URLs are not listed in the Trusted sites zone:

SCENARIO 3: You're using an outgoing proxy server, and the connection times out.

Use the netsh command-line tool to open port 8080 on the proxy server. To do this, follow these steps: open a command prompt, and then run the following command:

netsh winhttp show proxy

Run the following command:

netsh winhttp set proxy proxyservername:8080

For example:

netsh winhttp set proxy proxy.contoso.com:8080
