Is it possible to make a report or setup scans to get PSTfile locations and counts from all PC's ?

You must submit a specific file path for file scanning. It is not currently possible to search an entire computer for a specific file or perform extension based scanning for instance.

The reason this has not been implemented is because these kinds of scans are extremely taxing on client computers and take too long to complete.

You can make this with a script. i made it with .VBS. save the code to .vbs file and then run it from command line. You have to run the script with account that has admin permissions to scanned computers.
tips:
variable arrComputers is an Array with computer names (ex. arrComputers = array("pc1","pc2") )
variable fldr is for FolderShare where i store the reports

if you change a little bit the script, it can be used as a custom action in Lansweeper Console.
