Exchange 2013 - Folders missing when importing PST to archive mailbox

Hello,
I'm having an issue when importing PST files to an Exchange 2013 archive mailbox using the command "New-MailboxImportRequest
test -FilePath '\\server\e$\ArchiveExport\test.pst' -IsArchive -BadItemLimit 5 -ErrorAction Stop"
The import is running without an error and shows the status complete. The size of the archive mailbox is exactly the same like the size
of the PST file!
But when I check the users archive mailbox some folders are missing. It seems that this happens only to default folders like "Inbox"
or "Sent Items". Other folders are visible.
The mailbox import log shows the following:
16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.
16.01.15 16:31:56 [server] Copying 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
If I start the import process again the log says the following:
16.01.15 16:46:54 [server] Merging folder '/Top of Personal Folders/Inbox [Inbox]' into '/Inbox [Inbox]'.16.01.15
16:46:54 [server] Copying 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes). Skipping 3 items, 4.789 KB (4,904 bytes).
So it seems that the mails are really there but just not visible.
I did some tests:
When  I import the PST file directly to the users mailbox (without parameter -IsArchive) I can see all content of the PST file.
When I add the parameter -TargetRootFolder "Testfolder" the whole PST content shows up correctly under that folder.
Can anyone explain this?
Regards

Hi PhilippMair,
Thank you for your question.
If all subfolders were merged, we could use OWA to check if the missing folders is appeared. If we could see missing folders by OWA, I suggest we recreate outlook profile and reset outlook view.
In order to troubleshooting, I suggest we collect the import log to analysis if the subfolder of Inbox or Sent Item is exported.
In my test lab, inbox has three subfolders, there are 123,456,789; when I import PST file, I will see the following log:
1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox'.
1/20/2015 7:32:31 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 18 items, 302.3 KB (309,594 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/123' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/123'.
1/20/2015 7:32:32 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 5 items, 62.21 KB (63,699 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/456' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/456'.
1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 6.908 KB (7,074 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Merging folder '/Top of Outlook data file/Inbox/789' into '/Top of Information Store/Inbox/789'.
 1/20/2015 7:32:33 AM [EXCH2-CU1] Copying 1 items, 21.31 KB (21,820 bytes). Skipping 0 items, 0 B (0 bytes).
We could check if there are any subfolder which would not be merged and copied. If your import log has any abnormal, I suggest you send log file to
[email protected] for our troubleshooting.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
Best Regard,
Jim

  • Why are missing items when import pst files to Outlook 2011 for mac?

    Hello.
    After installing Office 2011 for Mac I configured Outlook and it was allright.
    But when I tried to import a pst file from the old laptop who has Office 2007, I found that in the Outlook 2011 Inbox I have only ~60% items comparative with the Outlook 2007 Inbox.
    From Microsoft Office forums I've got an answer that there are indeed some reports with missing items when import pst in Outlook 2011 but the solution they gave me (create folders in Inbox before import) doesn't work.
    Do you know something about this kind of problems?
    Is it a feature in Outlook 2011 which automaticaly select/delete/combine items based on the similarity between them or based something else?
    Have you an ideea how to finally use this macbook and in the same time all my old emails?
    Thanks.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in. 
    I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
    Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

  • Exchange 2013 // Error 500 when login OWA through ARR2.5 or other reverse proxy solution

    We install a new Exchange 2013 server with CU2 in our Exchange organization with a single Exchange 2007 server. We use a reverse proxy solution for publishing Outlook WebApp and sync. Internal Outlook WebApp works fine, but when we login from internet,
    we get the error:
    ":-( Something went wrong"
    In the address bar, we see the following URL:
    https://webmail.company.com/owa/auth/errorfe.aspx?httpCode=500
    When we try to login on https://webmail.company.com/ecp, it works fine. But OWA fails.
    Login on legacy mailboxes works fine. When we login on the new Outlook WebApp URL, we automatically forwarded to the legacy URL.
    We try the following reverse proxy solutions:
    Citrix Secure Gateway 3.3 on a Windows 2008 server
    ISS ARR on a Windows 2012 server (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/07/19/reverse-proxy-for-exchange-server-2013-using-iis-arr-part-1.aspx)
    Is there anyone that knows how I can troubleshoot this problem?

    Hi
    Mostly looks like this is host (A) issue.You can check the below things
    Just check of the mail host (A) record is created on internal DNS server and ensure its pointed to new Exchange 2013 server.
    If the mail host (A) record is pointing to old exchange 2007 server just modify it and make it to point to new Exchange 2013 server
    Check the DWS directory in edit binding if loopback 127.0.0.1 is added if not add them
     Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

  • Video missing when importing Nikon V1 movies

    When importing movies in FCPX from a new 1-series Nikon V1 camera only the audio is captured, not the video.  The same files (video and audio) play fine in Quicktime and are also captured without problems (although very slowly) in iMovie.

    Hi I have bought the Nikon V1 and use it with the 10-100 Vr PD lens. I have just come back from a Skiing Holiday which gave me the opportunity to Test the camera.
    I also use a Panasonic AG AF 100 Pro Video camera also
    Due to size and weight I only took the V1 only
    When I watched the replay on a HD television I was blown away by the quality of this little camera Definition in snow conditions were incredible, fast focus ease of use and LIGHTNESS!
    I would compare the cameras as equal, although there are more things you can do with a Panasonic but at 5 times the price
    So anybody considering this camera the V1, don't be put off, I am sure the market will soon make the appropriate converter which will solve the current problems

  • Importing PST into Migrated Mailbox

    HELLO ALL,
                    When migrating from lotus to exchange, if the message that are encryted, they are skipped, but the rest of the messages are moved to the new mailbox.  If one
    makes a PST using some third party software and import the pst into the mailbox, would the messages come into the folder structure present in the mailbox.  For instance if Folder A contained encrypted messages at lotus domino,
    but when migrated, it became empty at exchange.  So, if we import the PST into mailbox, would the Folder A be showing us the messages that were present at lotus?
    thanks in advance. 

    Hi,
    If that is encrypted, then message will need to have certificate to be opened, I think.

  • What happens to shared folders/mail when I disable/remove a mailbox in Exch2010 and which is better to get space back?

    We have a number of old mailboxes taking up room.  The users are long gone and I looked into removing them.  The clients of these users have been moved to others.  The users had shared folders that held this info.  I have a few questions
    about the removal.
    1. Is there a difference in time before space is given back if I disable versus remove the user in EMC?
    2. If an ex-employee had folders that others are sharing, what happens when I do the remove/disable?  Will the folders still be out there on the people who had it shared or will it vanish from them too?
    Thanks for your help.

    "Best practice" is going to be defined by each company.  I worked for Microsoft for 13.5 years, assisting over 100 large companies deploy either Windows or Exchange, and none had the same definition for their "best practice". 
    If you need access to a mailbox for a time period, you figure out a way to keep it.  If you want any terminated employee's mailbox gone tomorrow, it is gone tomorrow.
    I am a fan of having some sort of process that runs periodically to clear out unnecessary mailboxes and accounts, but if there are business reasons for keeping them around, that needs to be defined into the process.  In my current company, terminated
    accounts are kept for 30 days, mailbox included.  We give mailbox access to a different employee if required and tell them that if they need anything, they need to pull it into their own mailbox.  Then, when the account disappears, the mailbox goes
    into the dumpster.  So, if someone forgot to pull a message, they tell their boss and live with the consequences.
    But again, that's just another example of how it might be handled.  You get to define what will work for you, including pulling your business units in to help with the definition.

  • Security Update for exchange 2013 SP1 (KB3040856) failed mid-way / power problem mailbox server disconnected

    While applying todays security update for exchange 2013 (KB3040856) there was a power issue (sad story) and the update was interrupted halfway through.  A bunch of service were left deactivated and I beleive I brought them back.
    At this point the exchange admin center brings me to the login and when I do login, I get an enable to display page msg after the login.
    I have an ActiveSync error log  "cannot access the mailbox because the mail box server is disconnected"  translated from french.
    I also have ASP.NET 4.0 error "MapiExceptionMdbOffline"
    What could be the next step in fixing this if it is at all possible ?  I am not an expert in cmdlet but can manage if pointed in the right direction.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I ran update KB3040856, and it disabled all Exchange services, and a few others besides (IIS and filtering). I ran the test-servicehealth cmdlet and eventually got all the services set to automatic and all running.
    This is really a stupid thing for an update to do, what is going on? Exchange 2013 is trouble enough already, we really do not need this sort of agro.

  • Exchange 2013: Inbox rules don't work on Journal Mailbox

    Hello,
    I've Exchange 2013 server with 2 databases:
    * First database has all user mailboxes & is journaled to second database
    * Second database has only 1 mailbox: Journal which collects all messages send / received  from / to first database.
    I made Inbox Rules on Journal Mailbox  to delete unnecessary messages e.g. :
    * HealthMailbox messages with Subject: Client submission probe
    * [email protected] messages with Subject: Inbound proxy probe.
    I noticed that these rules don't work. Why ?
    best regards Janusz Such

    Hi,
    How do you create these Inbox Rules on journal Mailbox? Please share the detailed rule content here and we can check whether the rule was created correctly or not.
    Instead of journaling all mailboxes residing on a mailbox database, I suggest we can configure journal rules to match your organization's needs by journaling individual recipients or members of distribution groups. For more information about
    journal rules, please refer to:

  • Outlook 2013 - Folders missing

    Hello,
    I've got an issue with one of our executives.    It maybe simular to :::  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8ebce46d-1645-4909-8951-d1ca954179ac/outlook-2013-folder-pane-is-empty
    But the Folder Pane is not missing only certain SUB-FOLDERs.
    For instance, this executive had dozens of folders, and many of those folders have sub foolders.
    Some folders are fully populated even the sub folders...
    Others, only have the top level folder populated, all sub folders are just not there, they do show in Webmail.
    This is an Exchange mailbox.
    Outlook says all folders are up to date.
    Windows 7 - 64bit
    This is a new machine about 3 weeks old.
    I plan on removing the Updates from that other thread, but I'm looking to see if there is anything else someone might be able to suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Press Ctrl + 6, can you see the subfolders in the folder list pane?
    Locate the ost-file for your mail profile and rename it to .old when Outlook is closed. Upon starting Outlook, the cache will be rebuilt, check if the subfolders can be seen.
    As Ajo Abraham suggested, you can try the steps in
    http://desigeek.com/blog/amit/2007/01/17/solved-case-of-the-invisible-folder-in-outlook-and-exchange/with the tool called MfcMapi.

  • Random picture folders missing after import

    I am running a Macbook pro. I use a 120gb external drive to store my photos as i have about 40 gb of both RAW and JPEG images.
    I have attempted to import these as referenced images as per the Aperture guide but when the folders are imported random ones are missing.
    I have also tried importing a limited number selected folders folders as managed images into aperture but random folders still disapear.
    Acoording to the pro DVD that came with aperture importing referanced files by clicking import > "folders as projects" should create a mirror image of my file system on my external hardrive but with thumbnails as opposed to the full sized raw file.
    Is this random file import a problem with aperture, or am i doing something wrong?
    thanks,
    Rob

    A possibility is that the files have multiple tags, i.e. both id3v1 and id3v2.x. iTunes seems to behave best when there is a single properly populated id3v2.3 tag.
    If you move you library properly there is no need to "Add Folder to Library" on the new system and such problems don't arise.

  • Folders missing of imported photos

    Hello,
    I have imported a shoot of about 3300 raw images in several folders directories.  One of the folders is missing.  It is on the hard drive and contains images.  I try synchronizing the parent folder and it indicates images need to be imported.  While trying to import the images get grey out and then nothing gets imported.  The images appear no where else in LR.  Earlier I did have a drive failure, I replaced the drive with a back with identical folder and directed LR to it.  All good with exception of folder.

    I did the procedure you suggested and did locate one of the files, but then I wasn't sure how to use that info to get the folder to show up (that was before JimHess suggestion to right-click and Go to Folder in Library). So I closed LR and let it run through the optimization process as it backed up, and when it was done, by chance I found one of the missing folders. Somehow it had moved to the root directory instead of the master folder it had been in, and so did another folder. I needed to export my work files for the client before anything else, and I'm about to try and move them back to the master folder. (The "master folder" as I am referring to it, is simply a folder on the root, that is an umbrella for all the sub-folders I create every week for an ongoing project - one sub-folder per week). Any idea why the sub-folders would move? Would upgrading to v3.6 help with any of this, or with anything?
    BTW, the folders did not move in Windows Explorer, they're still under the Master folder there. They only moved in LR.
    Thanks
