The Exchange server is broken and no backup, only the .ost files on workstations. I have tried many .ost converting software. They cost from $99, I don't know which one to trust because they trial software only show me the headers of the email, no proof for the content.

I did use Nucleus Kernel for OST to PST and everything is fine now. It took 4 hours to parse 1.7 gb .ost file.
Some minor problems with ASCII. Every penny worth.

Glad you sorted it out, the product is expensive but well deserves it in my opinion
Why would u want to convert an ost to a pst file? the ost file is just and offline version of whatever is on the mailbox.
