Import PST of mailbox has been queued indefinitely

Hi,
I have issues importing PST files to user mailboxes, the queue never starts, I have tried removing tasks, re-adding tasks, tried different PST files, tried different folder locations for the PST files, tried multiple mail boxes and even restarted the replication
service all to no avail.
I have also waited a long time for them to finish but there is little progress, I can see that one of the users has a few folders and a couple of emails in there archive folders now but there is no report of a percent completed.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me please? In past this has worked on this server, note when it did work I only imported PST files to current user mailbox not archive folders.
Kind Regards
Anthony

Hi,
According to your description, you want import PST file into archive.
If I misunderstand your meaning, please feel free to let me know.
If yes, we can try the above suggestion: add the parameter IsArchive in the command New-MailboxImportRequest.

Additionally, to narrow down the cause, we can check the event log and find if there is any error.
Thanks,

  • "Your mailbox has been temporarily moved on Microsoft Exchange Server"

    Exchange 2003, Outlook 2007
    In Outlook, the Inbox folder does not show up under Mailbox - User Name. Starting with "Outlook Today" and clicking on the "inbox" like he can get to his messages.
    In OWA the envelope icon shows up but instead of saying "Inbox" it had a URL like "http://video.google.com&search="...
    I used exmerge to extract the data for the user, deleted the mailbox, then used exmerge to import it back.
    "Inbox" now shows up in OWA but when Outlook is launched it gives this message:
    "Your mailbox has been temporarily moved on Microsoft Exchange Server. A temporary mailbox exists, but might not have all of your data. You can connect to the temporary mailbox or work offline with all of your old data. If you choose to work with your old data, you cannot send or receive e-mail messages."
    Did I miss a step somewhere?

    I just encountered the same problem, and was able to get all of my old data back to my new profile (contacts, saved e-mails, inbox folders, etc.).  Before creating a new profile, when the error message appears,
    choose the option to use old data.  When outlook loads (using Outlook 2010), go to File -> Options and click on 'Advanced'.  You should see an 'Export' section, click on the 'Export' button.  An 'Import and Export Wizard'
    window will appear, click on 'Export to a File' and click next, then choose 'Outlook data file (.pst)'.  The next screen will ask you a folder to export, in which you can choose from all your outlook folders...for a complete backup, I suggest choosing
    the root folder.  It should be the name of your profile, for example: "username @hotmail.com".  Make sure 'Include subfolders' is checked.  The final screen will ask what location to store the .pst file in, and if you want to add a password
    to it.  Now you've backed up all your Outlook data :)
    To import the .PST to your new profile, make sure to change Outlooks default profile to the new one you've created (as Deli suggested).  When outlook loads up, click on File -> Open, and then click on 'Import'.  Choose 'Import from another program
    or file' and click next, then choose 'Outlook data file (.pst)' and click next.  Now you just point it to the .pst file you exported earlier, and all of your information will be imported into Outlook in its own folder.  From there you can drag everything
    (emails, contacts, etc.) into the folders that you want.  And that's it, hope this helps someone else.

  • Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time

    Dear all,
    sorry for opening another thread on this.
    I think I have a performance issue with workflows attached to document sets in SharePoint. And I say “I think” because people keep telling me that this is the way it just is.
    The user creates a new document set, which triggers a workflow in which the user has to confirm/review/approve a series of tasks. The time it takes from clicking the OK button on those task form to the workflow status moving to the next step is about 4 seconds.
    And visiting that status page within those 4 seconds brings up the infamous “Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time.” message.
    Hitting Refresh in the browser after those 4 seconds will make the new workflow status appear and the red text go away.
    Is that normal? Is that the performance that everyone else is seeing as well?
    I struggle to see why simply moving a workflow from one task to another should take that on a machine that isn’t doing anything else at the time.
    (1)   
    I have a standalone (non-clustered) SharePoint box, 4 CPUs, 8 GB of memory, more than half of that available, acting as application server and wfe; only the database is on different box.
    (2)   
    The CPU only goes up to 18 or 19%, so CPU does not seem to be the bottleneck. Half the RAM is also still free.
    (3)   
    The workflow is designed with Nintex, and has about 9 flexi and review tasks – the last 2 of them in a loop iterating over typically 3 or 4 items.
    (4)   
    Looking at the logs it looks like the processing in Nintex only takes about 1 second – I don’t know where the other 3 seconds are going.
    (5)   
    There is nothing obvious in the logs.
    (6)   
    We’ve looked at all the “theoretical” improvements around throttling and batch sizes etc. – none of them appeared make any difference. And the workflow is so small that it looks like my tasks gets executed straight away. The problem appears
    to be that the execution takes too long(?) and therefore has not finished by the time the page get redrawn.
    (7)   
    I am running perfmon and I can e.g. see one(!) workflow being loaded into memory – as expected as I am the only user.
    (8)   
    I am seeing a total of 3(?) SQL queries being executed(?). I get the Bytes Sent/sec spiking at 25K, and Bytes received at 18K. But is this good or bad or a bottleneck?
    Where do I take it from here?
    I have been told that “[…] most customers have no issue with this as they are used to the way SP operates and it can be slow at times.” Is it really that bad?
    If it is worth watching more performance counters then I’d need to know what to compare them to.
    Is there something else I am missing?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Before considering an additional hardware try to change following configurations for workflow:
    Increase Throttle Size
    Increase Batch Size
    Time Out
    Workflow Timer Interval
    AutoCleanUpDays
    Increase Throttle Size
    The Workflow throttle setting controls how many Workflows can be processing at any one time on the entire server farm. By increasing the throttle it will allow the number of Workflows execution or can be initiated at a time.
    Use below PowerShell command to get the current Throttle Size:
    Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowPostponeThreshold
    Use below PowerShell command to set new Throttle Size:
    Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowPostponeThreshold 100
    Increase Batch Size
    This is the size that determines number of events processed for a single Workflow instance. Default value is 100, but it can be range from 1 to any number.
    Use below PowerShell command to get the current Batch Size:
    Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowBatchSize
    Use below PowerShell command to set new Batch Size:
    Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowBatchSize 200
    Time Out
    This decides the time out of the Workflow event. The default value is 5 and can be any integer. The time is in minute.
    Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
    stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout
    Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
    stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout -pv “15″
    Workflow Timer Interval
    This setting is applicable at Web Application level and not the farm level. The workflow timer interval specifies how often the workflow SPTimer job fires to process pending workflow tasks. This interval also represents the granularity of delay timers within
    your workflow. If a timer is set to delay for one minute, but the interval timer fires only every five minutes, the workflow delays for five minutes, not one minute.
    Use below STSADM command to get the current Workflow Timer Interval value:
    stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-workflow -url <Web Application Url>

  • Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time.

    I have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise running SP1. Configuration is one SharePoint server in the farm and a SQL 2008 R2 database for the backend. Our user environment is 80 users with very little load on the SharePoint server. I have the workflow timer
    set to 1 minute.
    I have a SPD workflow that starts manually on a form library. Whenever I publish a new version of the workflow, the next time I start the workflow it takes the full minute to finish. If I click on the workflow status before it finishes, I see the message
    "Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will
    attempt to resume at a later time.". After the minute completes the workflow finishes.
    Here's the weird thing, the next time I start the workflow, it runs in a couple of seconds - almost instantly. I've tried up to 15 times after the inital publishing and everything seems to work fine on initiation.
    Well, that would be fine for me, however, I intermintantly get this heavy load message during task processes that are running inside the workflow. It's probably less than 5% of the time. It's really frustrating though so I appreciate some help. I'm look
    online and haven't found anything that describes my situation.
    Thank you in advance!

  • I dropped my ipod in the toilet, I haven't fixed it for months. I didn't know you could put it in rice, or to not open it right away. Is it too late to fix it, or a place? The ipod is really important to me, it has been with me forever.

    I dropped my ipod in the toilet, I haven't fixed it for months. I didn't know you could put it in rice, or to not open it right away. Is it too late to fix it, or is there a place I could bring it to? I don't want to get a new one. The ipod is really important to me, it has been with me forever, and there is important stuff on it. 

    There are companies that specialize in data retrieval but it's costly (probably cheaper to buy a new iPod) and more than likely as Allan said, your circuits are probably damaged beyond all hope of retrieving anything. It's worth calling Apple you maybe able to get a discount or a refurbished iPod. Can't hurt to ask, Good luck. (And in the future... no texting in the john.) Sorry, couldn't resist it.

  • Export and Import PST corrupting mailbox folder structure

    Hi,
    I have an old Exchange 2003 mailserver which I am replacing with Exchange 2013 server. I am doing a fresh install in a new domain and will import the old mailboxes (5) via PST's.
    I have exported the mail from Exchange 2003 using exmerge to PST files, then imported using the new EAC import PST process. When completed I see that the folders inside the mailbox have corrupt names.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Craig

    Hello Craig,
    Did you see this issue before you import the pst file (which export with Exmerge)?
    If not, I suggest you follow this way to have a try:
    Use Outlook to export pst files from Exchange 2003 mailboxes.
    Import the pst file to Exchange 2013 mailboxes.
    After that, check whether this issue will occur or not.
    Thanks,

  • Congratulations, this mailbox has been successfully setup for BlackBerry(R) push mail

    I keep getting these messages (one per day) since I've setup my Storm for IMAP.  Several other BB users in my area seem to have the same issue.  We all are on Bell.
    Interesting point: it only seems to happen after you register the BB for a second time.  My Storm was broken so I was using a 8830 for about two weeks, no issues.  Got my Stoem back and had to setup the email accounts again.  Then this issue of recurring messages popped up.
    Anyone having the same isssue?  Or better yet resolved it?
    Thanx,
    Ed

    Ahhh...given that description, it may be WAD (Working As Designed):

  • PST Import to archive mailbox - Stays in queue until i restart the microsoft exchange mailbox replication service

    Good Day all,
    Stretched dag between site a and site b.  Cas array at each site.  Mailboxes primarily are located in site a unless there is a major outage then the dag flips to site b.  setup two archive databases, one in site A on a non replicated partition
    of the dag server and one in site B on a separate mailbox only server.
    All exchange servers are patched to the latest sp and rollup.
    site a has no issues at all, everything i import queues up and processes with no problems
    at site b two imports will process and then stop until i restart the microsoft exchange mailbox replication service on the cas server.  No errors no nothing just lots of move request sitting in the queue.
    considering i have an insane amount of psts to import there does anyone have any suggestions besides setting up a task to restart the imicrosoft exchange mailbox replication service every 15 minutes?
    thanks for your help in advance

    Yeah I know from my research when I was setting up the dag you were not a fan of the stretched DAG but it works for us really well and passed all fail over tests that we ran on it <knocking on wood>.
    Yes its running but it stops working after one session.  I have had success in raising the transfer count from 2 to 5 but I can't really go much higher without taking down the server.  the problem is when I am transferring someone with hundreds
    of PSTs I have to babysit it...which sucks..
    anyway, thanks for your help and have a great day :)

  • 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'.

    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

  • I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that  the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels

    I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that  the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels.  Any easy solution?
    Steps:
    1. I finished an Aperture 2 (Two) book project and tried to submit it to Apple for printing. At that point I learned (belatedly, obviously) that Apple no longer accepts books from Aperture 2. I don't know how I would have known to even ask if Aperture 2 had been sunsetted as far as book projects go.
    2. So I tried to download Aperture 3 ($79.99), only to be told that I couldn't download Aperture 3.5.1 because I was still running OSX 10.8.x. So I read current reviews for OSX 10.9.x, and ...
    3. Downloaded and installed the current operating system (about a 3-hours process for me).  OSX 10.9.2, here we are!
    4. Then I returned to the Apple Store, found, and purchased Aperture 3.  [For safety's sake, it would sure be nice to have a .dmg file I could copy and file away.  I lost a perfectly legal and good copy of Adobe's Photoshop Elements 3 years ago because I wasn't smart enough to make a safety copy, and when my iMac crashed (fried electronic components), I was left with a copy of the software that wouldn't run, and couldn't be verified as legit.]
    5. When Aperture 3 finished installing, I found and imported my COMPLETED Aperture 2 book project, which import seemed to proceed nominally -- the right number of pages, the right content on those pages, that sort of thing -- until I started looking more carefully at the pictures themselves.  All of them, about 300 of them, have been imported into an Aperture 3 book project in such a reduced resolution that they are fuzzy at the size the book will be printed.  Screen-capture of just one example (at 100% viewer setting):
    I don't know what to do at this point to correct the problem, short of going through the entire book project, copy the custom captions (since those go away when you "delete" photo content), delete the photo, re-insert the photo, and paste back the custom caption.  Lather, rinse, repeat - ~300 times!  An estimated 2-3 hours of additional work.
    Or does anyone in this community know either (1) that I did something wrong in the Aperture 2-to-Aperture 3 import (I don't recall being offered any options or choices in the process); or (2) that there is a wholesale one-step solution to my problem?
    BTW, I tried to edit my "Product" info, but OSX 10.9.x is not in the pick list.  I am running OSX 10.9.2

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  no matter what I do, iphoto puts the pic in recovered files.  How do I fix this?

    Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me,  A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  If I import it, a message comes up Unreadable file, the following file could not be imported. them it tells me where the file is and it cannot be opened.  If I do not import, then it says,The photo has been placed in the folder /Users/patrick*******/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_4.  It will just keep adding to recvovered photos.  This drives me crazy!!!!!!!  How do I fix this?

    I had this problem some months ago and the following solution from Terrence Delvin put things right:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
    However, since connecting a memory stick to my computer, I now have the same problem again.  This time there is no folder called 'Import' or 'Importing' so what should I do?
