For those of you running the agent in Admin mode on Windows servers, how are you generating the File list with just the path and file names? I can do so, but it requires me to massage the data with Excel. Has anyone found a single tool to create the file list?
Thanks everyone.

Load convert -l on the server console
-l
Generates a list of mail files by reading people’s mail files from the Domino directory. Writes the list to a text file.

Hi,
In certain version (mostly in french-it happens in 6.5.4Fp1), this command can generate an error:
Mail Convert Failed: Unable to build a list of mail files in ‘c:\temp\maillist.txt’; View ‘Server\Mail Users’ is missing in the Server Name & Address Book database
because this specific line with the “-l” option is looking for a view that doesn’t exist. In fact , it exist but the alias is missing
If you use the load convert to migrate a mail file it will work but not with the “-l” option.
Also, if you put the wrong alias, you get an error in the admin client :
Impossible d’ouvrir la vue Mail Users: document non valide ou inexistant

You can do it from the OS level too…
When I need a list of files in a simple path format without all the garbage, I use this command:
dir /b /s *.nsf >textfile.txt
This will generate a clean list of all the nsf file below the directory you run the command in and puts it in a text file.
You can then manipulate the file by removing the non-mail db’s (sort by path) and then remove the path before the data folder to make it compatible with the agent…
OR
You can use a custom view in the NAB and export in .CSV format using File/Export, then in Excel, copy the filename column and paste in a simple text file… Just make a column in the view to show the server so you can sort by server to spli your list.
