Challenge: Export mailbox to PST file / Merge Mailbox to another.
Version: Exchange 2010, SP1
Export email from a mailbox to PST or merge into an existing mailbox. You must export to PST first, then import PST to new tenant mailbox. No known method of simply merging one mailbox into another.
To Start you must create a network share, give the group “Exchange Trusted Subsystem” full rights.
Now we need to grant rights to an exchange account to export mailboxes. So in PowerShell
New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role "Mailbox Import Export" –User Administrator
Now restart PowerShell to apply this new permission
Now we will Export a mailbox to a PST file from PowerShell
[PS] C:\>New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox chopper.reid -FilePath \\EX2010\pst\chopper.reid.pst Name Mailbox Status ---- ------- ------ MailboxExport itwasme.net/Company/Users/SBS... Queued
To view progress
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxExportRequest | Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics Name Status SourceAlias PercentComplete ---- ------ ----------- --------------- MailboxExport InProgress chopper.Reid 20
To complete this operation, you must remove the request from the server. To view all such requests
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxExportRequest | where {$_.status -eq "Completed"} Name Mailbox Status ---- ------- ------ MailboxExport itwasme.net/Company/Users/SBS... Completed
To nuke these completed requests
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxExportRequest | where {$_.status -eq "Completed"} | Remove-MailboxExportRequest
select [A] to remove all.
========================================================
Now to import or merge the mailbox into another mailbox. Assuming you use the same account granted export mailbox rights from above.
Create a new folder e.g. “eMail from Merged mailbox”. So that the PST content will be merged into a folder inside the target mailbox.
[PS] C:\>New-MailboxImportRequest -FilePath \\ex2010\pst\Chopper.reid.pst -Mailbox john.balls.smith -TargetRootFolder "Mailbox - eMail from Merged mailbox"
To keep check on progress
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxImportRequest | Get-MailboxImportRequestStatistics Name Status TargetAlias PercentComplete ---- ------ ----------- --------------- MailboxImport InProgress John.Balls.Smith 55
Again to close out completed Mailbox Imports and view what can be removed.
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxImportRequest | where {$_.status -eq "Completed"} Name Mailbox Status ---- ------- ------ MailboxImport itwasme.net/Company/Users/SBS... Completed
And to remove completed requests.
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxImportRequest | where {$_.status -eq "Completed"} | Remove-MailboxImportRequest
