Hi There

I am trying to open a .nsf file with Network Email Examiner but it does not want to open the file.

I have the correct password and .id file associated with the .nsf file.

When I try and open it with Lotus notes it says "The single copy template associated with this database cannot be located"

Can Paraben Network Email Examiner get passed this or is there anything else I can ask the IT team to provide me with like the server template?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I had the same problem not so long ago.

have you got the most update version of paraben?

Also, have you got FTK installed? If you create a folder somewhere, dump the .nsf files and id file into it, and image the folder. Load that image into FTK and choose the option to expand compound files, then choose decrypt files from the tools menu and enter in password, FTK will begin to decrpyt the NSF.

Version 3.1

Does the new version get passed this problem?

Greetings,

Some other products that open Lotus Notes files require that the Lotus Notes client be installed on that system. Perhaps that is the case for Paraben as well?

Have you tried calling Paraben?

Other applications that can handle NSF files include Trident, Discovery Attender, Discovery Assistant, Notes the Ripper and Encase (to name a few). While some of those do require Notes to be installed, Paraben does not (at least it didn't in previous versions).

Confirmed that Paraben doesn't require Notes to be installed.

Have a care with products that require that the Notes client be installed since this implies that the notes c/c++ API is being used and this is not forensically sound.

Hmmm… What do you mean by "not forensically sound"?

Can you elucidate on the point of soundness when it comes to applications?

Yes, what I meant was, quite simply, that products that require that Notes be installed will, usually, be accessing the .nsf by way of the c/c++ API and that accessing the .nsf in this way will change the metadata which may not be what was intended.
