Importing PST file using Import-Mailbox Command Crashes Powershell

I am attempting to import a .pst file into a mailbox via the Import-Mailbox powershell command. The command starts and imports the deleted items and creates the folder structure in the Inbox then crashes powershell. I am running Outlook 2007 SP2 on a Windows 2003 Std SP2 server w/Exchange 2007 SP1 Update Rollup 8 management tools. I have tried everything i can think of. This happens on multiple machines with similar packages installed. No anti-virus software is installed. It happens on both pst files i am testing with and no errors are logged in the event logs either on the exchange mailbox server or the server i am using to do the import.

Have you tried to do this from the actual Exchange 2007 server?  I assume you are trying to import the pst to an Exchagne 2007 email account to Exchange 2007 correct?
Have you tried to perform the import on a Windows XP machine using the 32bit EMC/EMS rather then using Windows 2003 server? 
I honestly recall in the back of my head a problem with Exchange 2007 and Outlook CDOs or something like that.  I could be wrong but I remember something from a year ago.....
Seriously though, try it from a Windows XP machine running the Exchange Managerment Tools and see what happens rather then a W2K3 Server.

Yea I double check the link i posted as well I never tried from a 2003 server either, I've always done it from an XP machine, but again we know its works because you got it to work with a newly export PST, so I think its more to do with the PST file itself, hopefully you dont have a bunch of them, if so let the users re-import them =)

  • 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'.

  • PST Capture error when trying to import .PST files

    I am currently migrating mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 on prem.  I have installed PST Capture 2.0 and 64-bit Outlook 2013 on a Windows 2008 R2 machine and have installed the PST Capture 2.0 agent on a workstation that has some .pst files
    on it.  PST Capture finds all the .pst files on the workstation, but when I use PST Capture to try to import PST files into a mailbox on Exchange 2013, I get the error "Import error: Error opening mailbox [email protected]".
    I created a userID with a mailbox to run PST Capture.  Based on the instructions at
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh781035%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx I have made that user a member of the groups that are assigned the Public Folder Management role, the Mailbox Import Export role and the Organizational Management role.  The
    user is also a local admin on the machine running the PST Capture console.  While the error sounds like a permissions issue, these are the only permissions I could find documented for PST Capture.  I am starting PST Capture with "Run as administrator"
    Any ideas why this isn't working?  Are there any other permissions that the PST Capture user needs?  Is there anything else I need to do?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Generally PST capture tool allows you to search for PST files & import these PST files
    to the mailboxes but as your account is not getting connected, so you need to check settings of your PST Capture tool :
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh781032(v=exchg.141).aspx
    If this solution does not work out for you, then I would advise you to use any professional
    tool for exchange migration like CodeTwo , Stellar. From my personal experience, I would recommend you to go for Stellar Mailbox Extractor for Exchange Server as it migrated my mailboxes to another Exchange Server in quick time.

  • Exported and later Imported .pst files retain the permissions from the original Mailbox.

    After migrating from Exchange 2003 to 2010 something strange happens when exporting folders to a .pst file and importing them in another mailbox.
    The acces right that are applied, are those from the original mailbox.
    I have been searching on the internet about this strange behaviour, but it seems our organization is the only one where is applies.
    Does anybody have any ideas what can be the cause?

    Hi,
    For example, userA was granted permissions to the Inbox folder of userB's mailbox. You exported userB's Inbox folder to PST file and then imported to userC's mailbox. After that, userA had permissions for Inbox folder in userC's mailbox as well. This is
    what you had encountered, is it right?
    Generally, permissions aren't preserved when you export folders to PST file, only the content itself is exported. I recommend you remove this mailbox folder permission using the Remove-MailboxFolderPermission command to check the result.
    Best regards,

  • Calendar Items from Imported PST Files Cannot Be Modified

    I have a customer that had their 2008 DC crash with no backup.  They created a new AD domain with a new name with all the same users.  Then they exported all mailboxes as PST files and imported them into the recreated mailboxes.  Now, when
    trying to modify a calendar entry, they get a "Don't have permission" error.
    My research says this is a known problem that has to do with an incorrect LegacyExchangeDNS attribute.  It can be fixed by using the old AD's attribute and adding it as an X500 address on the new Domain.  Unfortunately, the old DC is toast.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that all mailboxes are exported as PST files and imported to the new created mailboxes.
    The PST exporting and importing may lost some permission during New-MailboxImportRequest importing. Please use
    Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Editor (MFCMAPI) tool to export calendar data and import it to new mailbox to have a try. Also check the Calendar permission for the Calendar folder:

  • Problem importing PST files through Exchange Control Panel

    Trying to do what is best here - we have a migration and everything is coming into EX13 from a PST file.
    In the ECP I already added the role to allow PST Imports but some of them just fail with no error or explanation.  Just a red alert underneath the bell:
    Nothing more than that.
    Can't seem to find a status queue to see the PST's process either.
    Stranger than that is when I see the "failure" all the email looks like it is there - regardless of 1 item or 20000 items they all look like they have in fact been imported to Exchange. 
    Any ideas on any of this?

  • Import pst files in Outlook 2013

    Hi all!
    I have a simple question for you...
    The normal procedure suggested me to import a pst file from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2013 from File->Open and Export->Import/Export->Import data from other programs....etc. This procedure works normally.
    If I export mail by mail (one each mail at time) from Outlook 2007 to a normal folder in my desktop I have a folder with more .msg files. And, when I finished to do this I import mail by mail from my desktop folder to new .pst file in Outlook 2013.
    This procedure can be corrupt or damage the pst file?
    Many thanks!
    Bye!

    You are using the term "export" for two different scenarios - one of which has nothing to do with "exporting". Similarly, the term "folder" means 2 different things under the scenario described.
    Specifically, you don't export email's one message at a time, in this case, these are being "saved" in a Windows folder which is not the same thing as an Outlook folder (contained in a PST file).
    Instead of going through this latter process which has to be time-consuming and a pain, have you considered simply opening the pst file used in O'2007 and then just moving/copying the desired messages to the desired O'2013 folder? Am sure there is a reason
    that you're going through this latter process but on the surface it seems that it's a long way around to arrive at your destination.

  • Dear Team, Can we secure "sent msg" that the receiver cannot edit while forwarding/replying? Is possible to import .PST file(S) into thunderbird?

    Dear Team,
    Can we secure “sent msg” that the receiver cannot edit while forwarding/replying?
    Is possible to import .PST file(S) into thunderbird? If yes, any size limit?
    Can we convert thunderbird data file in .PST?

    I don't think you can prevent email body text from being copied and edited.
    You'd probably need to created a protected Word or PDF document, and send it as an attachment.
    This is still some sort of guessing because it's still not clear to me what exactly your scenario is.
    Whatever text you send in an email, regardless of whether in the body or as an attachment, the recipient will always be able to use that and distribute it further, e.g. by making a screenshot. And images can be 'photoshoped' as well.
    If you want the recipient to be able to detect whether a message or an attachment has been altered on transit, you'd need to sign it.

  • Export a mail as PST file using EWS API

    Hi,
    I need to export the Exchange mails to PST file without installing the outlook. To acheive this i am choosing the EWS API. but i dont know how to do that. So, now i have a two questions, the first one, is it possible to create the pst file using EWS API?.
    If yes, how to create a pst file using EWS, if any one posted the sample code here, it is very helpful for me.
    Thanks,
    RamMohan

    EWS is not going to help you do what your trying to do, EWS is an Exchange API so you need to have an Exchange 2007 server or greater with the MailStore mounted to even use it to access the Mailbox . EWS also doesn't support exporting email to a PST because
    the PST file is an Office file format so in the case where you do manage to mount the database on Exchange then use Adam's suggestion or just connect via Outlook and export the Mailbox.
    >> I am parsing the mails from the exchange EDB files
     With what ? reading the contents of an EDB file directly is not supported although there are a few third party apps that can do it and if your using one of those apps then all of them I've seen support the export to PST (unless your using a Trial licence). 
    The correct method of recovering data from an EDB file would be to use a Recovery Database
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876954(v=exchg.150).aspx even if you don't have access to the environment you should be able to setup a temp environment using Virtual machines and recover it that way.

  • Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

    Post Author: markeyjd2
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Greetings forum members,
    My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
    In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records.  When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
    What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record.  The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
    Is this possible?

    Post Author: Micha
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Hi,
    you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
    Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
    First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
      oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
    Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

  • Abobe 9: Printing a PDF file using a DOS command

    I have Adobe 9.4.0 on a server and would like to print PDF files using a DOS command. The DOS command we are using is:
    start Acrord32.exe /T/S/h/O "C:\BO_Archival_Code_Deployment\Print\TINF018_C.pdf" "Lexmark T644 PS3 - 10.192.36.126"
    With this, we are able to print only page 1 of the PDF file. The other pages remain unprinted. This means there is no issue related to printer configuration, firewalls, etc.
    Other observations:
    1) When we print the file manually after opening it in Adobe 9.4.0, all pages are printed.
    2) We found that the above command provides different results with Adobe 8.2.6 i.e. with the DOS command, all pages are printed while using Adobe 8.
    We are trying to automate some tasks for which we require the PDF files to be printed automatically through a DOS command. We are being advised to use Adobe 9 as technical support for Adobe 8 is likely to be withdrawn soon.
    Please can you help.

    Sorry. This is a forum for Adobe Connect issues not PDF issues. Please locate the correct forum so your question can be addressed properly there.
