Import PST files for multiple users at the same time?

While importing PST files into archive mailboxes, the Exchange 2010 mailbox server went to 100% CPU and memory usage and I could not stop the imports because the EMS stopped responding.  We had to restart the whole server to get back to normal.
Not sure if importing PSTs was the cause of it it was a coincidence.  We have done imports the same way before without this issue.
How many PST imports can be done at the same time and how do we queue up multiple users and have the mailbox imports have unique names for each user?  I noticed they are always called MailboxImport and MailboxImport1 and then it starts over as MailboxImport
again for additional users. So, if more than one user's PSTs are being imported at the same time, we will have multiple identically named imports running.
We would like multiple users' PST imports to queue up and start automatically when the previous users' imports complete.

Please try like this. Rename folder name same as alias.  i.e. \\server\share\<alias>. below are examples.
"\\server\share\jsmith"
"\\server\share\tjones"
"\\server\share\rsmith"
"\\server\share\bspears"
"\\server\share\mmouse"
And run below command to take PST from the corresponding
foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\Server\share\$($i.Alias)\$($i.Alias).pst" -baditemlimit 50 -acceptlargedataloss ;while ((Get-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox $i | ? {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"})) { sleep 180 } }
If a folder missing with the alias you will see an error similar to this.I think this will work for you. You just keep only the required PST folders to import in the "\\Server\share" folder. 
"Unable to open PST file '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
Error details: Could
 not find a part of the path '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.

  • Outlook autocomplete cache stops working for multiple users at the same time

    Hi there
    Ever since we upgraded our Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 we have had problems with the autocomplete cache in Outlook 2010.
    We have 700 users and about once per week I get a call about the autocomplete cache. A few users are on cached mode, but most use online mode. The problem appears on both, but it can usually be corrected by /cleanautocompletecache.
    Granted, the autocomplete cache gets corrupted sometimes, but it seems to happen a lot for us. I have noticed that often more than one user experiences the problem at the same time, and, since the problem starting after upgrading Exchange, I suspect that
    the issue is with Exchange and not Outlook. Yesterday three users complained about the cache at the same time.
    I know how to get a broken cache going again - that is not the issue. The issue is keeping this from happening so often.
    Anyone out there able to help?
    Thanks!
    /Anders

    Hi ,
    Based on my knowledge , when you tried to send an email to a recipient in the same exchange organisation then the recipient address will be resolved in to legacy dn value and then that email will be delivered to destination mailbox by pointing towards to
    that legacy dn value.
    For the external recipients exchange user the smtp address to get it delivered.
    For your issue :
    Based upon the NDR message , we need to covert those values in to x500 format and add it to respective recipient mailbox as an x500 address.Then These erorrs will happen if the x500 value of the destination recipient is not available on it's maibox
    and that would be the cause of the NDR for most of the times.Some time as you said autocomplete cache would get corrupted on the client end but it is very rare.
    How to convert NDR to x500 address format :
    http://msexchangeguru.com/2012/03/15/x500/
    How to avoid getting such kind of NDR'S :
    https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/exchange-e-mail-addresses-and-the-outlook-address-cache/
    In case if you don't want the users to use the autocomplete cache when composing the new emails :
    In group policy we can use the  office templates to disable the below mentioned option.
    1.use autocomplete to suggest the names ---> this option will comes under the advanced settings on the outlook client.
    In case if you don't want the users to use the autocomplete cache when composing the new emails as well as if you wanted to delete that autocomplete then you need to choose one more option along with the first one.
    1.Empty autocomplete cache.
    Please reply me if anyhitng is unclear.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

  • Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time?

    Dear Friends,
    I set up currency translation on our BPC NW 7.0 system and it is working fine ONLY if I run it for any one year at a time. But if I select multiple years in the data package (FX Restatment) selection it only calculates for the first year in that selection.
    say if I run the data package for years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, it only performs currency translation for the year 2009.
    Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time ?
    Note: The year is determined from the YEAR property of the "Time" dimension
    appreciate any inputs,
    thanks

    You can run currency translation for multiple years.
    I think the problem it is actually related to how you are sending the parameter to currency translation script.
    Just review the script logic log and you will see with what parameters was called currency translation FXTrans.
    My expectation is that actually the script is called just with first year and that's the problem.
    Log of script logic you can find it into:

  • Can i use my mac mini for some users at the same time?

    can i use my mac mini for some users at the same time? i mean with their own screen, mouse, and keyboard

    If you're asking whether more than one user can use the computer at the same time with multiple displays, the answer is no. Other users can log in over a network with Screen Sharing, but each one will need his own computer (not necessarily a Mac.)

  • Find my Friends : Support for multiple users under the same Apple ID?

    Can multiple users under the same Apple ID use the app to find each other?  My daughter uses my Apple ID with her iPod touch which allows me to monitor her purchases but it seems that only one device under an ID can use the app at a time.  If that is the case then it is a major disadvantage and I will need to go back to using latitude (or Find My iPhone which also allows me to see where all of my devices are at the same time)

  • How to support multiple users at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I have a Labview software which controls a analyzer via GPIB connector. When user A is using the software, user B has to wait until A is done. But actually, the analyzer is not very busy, when user A is using the software.
    I want user A, B, C and D can use the software at the same time. just like we can open Multiple websites at the same time.
    How can I program the software, so that the software can be open multiple times? Do you have any example?
    Thanks a lot.

    Are all the users going to be measuring the exact same thing from the same instrument?
    It would be possible to write a separate instrument server application that would handle all the direct interactions with the instrument. When one of the users needed to access the instrument, they would gain access to it through this server.
    The big, Big, BIG caveat is that each interaction with the instrument would need to be atomic. In other words each access would need to configure the instrument, initiate the reading, report the results, and then reset the instrument back to some known default value.
    As Dennis said, not a trivial process, but probably do-able...

  • Updating single row by multiple users at the same time

    Hi,
    I have been asked to develop an application where a single row from a table will be accessed by multiple users. Even multiple users can try to update the same row at the same time. So, to provide a solution of this problem should it be the best way to lock that particular row when user requesting to update it and after completion of commit the lock will be released. In the same time if some other user request to update the same row then it will be in the wait condition.
    Please provide suggestion that is it the best way to handle the situation or not. If it is then can you also please provide an example (with sample code) of it.
    Regards,
    Koushik

    It depends entirely on how the system was built.
    You could relatively easily build an application that does something like
    - Select a row with as last_updated_date column
    - Update the row specifying the last_updated_date you had selected in your WHERE clause
    - If the update updates 1 row, it was successful, otherwise inform the user that the row was already updated.
    In this case, the second user would get an error indicating that the seat had already been purchased.
    You could also relatively easily do a SELECT FOR UPDATE to prevent users from ever getting an error between the time they select a seat and the time they finish their transaction. Of course, if the user wanders away from the computer, or inadvertently ends up locking dozens of rows, this tends to rather problematic in practice. You may find that when the train pulls out of the station, someone that never ended up buying a ticket has locked a dozen rows so you lost a dozen sales. If you have a call center where operators are reserving seats for people on the phone, you may decide that explicit locking is more appropriate because you're confident that the operators aren't going to leave tickets locked for long periods of time and the cost of having the customer walked through the seat selection process multiple times would be higher than the cost of having rows locked longer than they need to be.

  • Updating info for multiple songs at the same time?

    Is there a way to highlight multiple songs and change info for the songs at the same time without having to do it for each individual song? Example: changing the album or the genre for a batch of songs?

  • How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

    As the title suggests...
    I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer.  (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding  only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time. 
    How do I do that on an AEBS?
    In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines? 
    TL,DR version:  How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.  

    You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

  • ITunes access for multiple users on the same Apple

    I think I'm really done myself in for the fist time with my iMac. I have decided instead of sharing a single log-in with my girlfriend, to get her her own. This is working out great, but I'm come to a halt in trying to get her access to our music on iTunes. I read the article on the Apple Support website that clearly explains how to do this, I also read Kay and Bert's message thread which I thought would be of help to no avail.
    I've copied my iTunes folder into user/shared then opened iTunes/preferences and connected iTunes the path to the new location. Done... but I can't see any of my music!! ... and I can't even see the music under my log-in. However, I can clearly see the files there in the user/shared folder. I'm starting to feel those "windows" days before I found Apple. Please help!

  • Single Outlook mailbox for multiple users on the same PC

    please now see below.
    Thanks

    Guys, I think I may have figured a very simple work around, which at first glance appears to be working.
    And I can't believe that i'm the only person in the world done this ???
    1. Configure email account/s as normal.
    2. Create a folder in the root of C and name it some thing obvious like "Outlook-Share", and give all PC users full access.
    3. Rename outlooks "Personal Folder", something obvious like "Shared Email", then move the PST file to the "Outlook-Share" folder.
    4. Open outlook and when it moans about not being able to find the .pst, navigate to "Outlook-Share"
    Close Outlook.
    5. Using Office Tools "Save my settings wizzard", save the office settings to the "Outlook-Share" folder.
    6. Log in as the new user, and use the "Save my settings wizzard" to restore office settings to this user profile.
    This PC is not yet on the internet, as I'm on a development domain, but i created a mail in User1 profile which is sitting in the outbox waiting to go.
    I then logged in as User2, and could see the mail waiting in the outbox. I created another email and sent this to the outbox.
    Logged in as User2 and can now see 2 emails in the outbox.

  • Can I use FCX for multiple users on the same machine?

    I have one mac pro, and two video cmpanies. I have two users on my machine and would like to set up two different final cut x workplatforms. Is that possible?

    Of course, you can use FCP X from two different user accounts on your machine. The question here, I believe, is how to separate the content that each user accesses.
    One obvious way to achieve that would be to store the content in the system disk - that would put events and projects in each user's Movies folder. But that is a bad option, for performance reasons, and more.
    You could have separate external disks for each user to store his content.
    Also, you could use different disk images which could, say, be all stored in the same internal (but not system) drive.
