Import PST file into Exchange 2010

TipsMake.com - Technically, the process of importing PST files into Exchange 2010 system is simpler and much easier than the 2007 version based on the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) feature. And in the article below, we will guide you through this process. But before proceeding, we need to meet some requirements as follows:

- Must install x64 version of Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 on Exchange Server system installed mailbox role. This is not necessary to be a server mailbox containing all the system mailboxes. Note that from Exchange 2007 or earlier, any version of Outlook installed on Exchange Server is not supported, but with Exchange 2007 or 2010, the problem has been resolved.

- Users must manually set up a group system or user with Import Export Management Role
The PST file used to import must have the same name as the Exchange Alias ​​of the account to be imported
The Mailboxes section that will be imported into the pst file must exist

To continue, we need to download and install the Outlook 2010 version here.

Set up the Mailbox Import Export Management Role:

As recommended by many experienced users, experts are advised to set up a group - the group used to assign the role and then add user accounts to this group. In case you have created a group, it must be Universal Security Group, then use the following command from Exchange Management Shell:

New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Name 'MailboxImportExport' –SecurityGroup 'your_group_name "- Role' Mailbox Import Export '

At this point, we will assign the user account to import the PST file to the newly created group, then close the Exchange Management Console / Shell section , log - off and log - on again to apply the changes. . Technically, there are several ways to import PST files, which can be done in turn or all. As recommended, you should follow the simple way first (in turn), after everything is stable and sure, it will switch to all after mode. The above command is used for both Exchange 2007 and 2010.

Basic command structure for bulk import:

Get-Mailbox | Import-Mailbox –PSTFolderPath x: Full_Path_To_PST_Files

Note that the parameter x: Full_Path_To_PST_Files is the full path of the PST file.

The import order in turn:

Import-Mailbox –Identity 'Display_Name' - PSTFolderPath x: Full_Path_To_PST_File.PST

The –Identity parameter here can be the display name, email address or Exchange Alias, and the PST file name should be explicitly specified when executing the command.

Good luck!
