Office 365 - Importing PST Files

Hi there, going round in circles over this issue.
Firstly, I know of two ways to import our .PST files to our newly setup office 365 accounts (assume this uses exchange 2013??). The first is using the tool PST Capture - This gives me the same (unresolved) issue posted in other topics - where it cannot
see any mailboxes on the server to import too.
The second is manually in powershell. I have zero experience prior to spending all day yesterday researching online how to make the transfer .
I have managed to get as far as connecting to our exchange server. However I am unable to run the command I believe needed to do the import (new-mailboximportrequest).
I have added myself to the role of "Mailbox Import Export" but despite this I still cannot see it in the list of available commands.
Can anybody help?

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'.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [New-MailboxImportRequest], RemotePermanentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 27802833,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.NewMailboxImportRequest"

Query about using Office 365 as a file server

Hey,
At my workplace we are looking to change our method of storing files, as it stands we have an old machine which we connect to via the LAN.
As we have expanded, other people need access to this from afar and we have looked at Office 365 Education, my understanding is that everyone gets 25gb on their own local area. How would we go about getting 100-200 GB of space on a standalone area.
E.G a virtual server which everyone can access, as an admin can I restrict who views which directories?
My understanding is that I would need to make a user account called "Company Server" and share the folders via SkyDrive and only upgrade that account?
Thanks again

The storage for OneDrive for Business (SkyDrive Pro) is now 1TB for each user. OneDrive for Business is a good place for storing users' working files, the kinds of files you'd typically find in user home directories.
You can use Office 365 like a file server through the use of mapped network drives. Here's how to set one up support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2616712. You can also script the network drive setup process with Powershell. Check

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.

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.

Hi there,
Can you import the PST file and find the sent items in another Outlook for Windows? If the issue only occurs in Outlook for MAC, I'd suggest you pose the question in the forums below:

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.

Importing .pst files from Outlook to Enourage2004

Hi everyone,
I am looking for the easiest way to help my mother-in-law transfer over her PC files to her brand new MacBook (1.83Ghz Intel Duo)- she is a first time Mac user. I personally have little experience using Entourage, so I am trying to find out the best way to transfer over her files. She exported her outlook files (.pst) onto a USB flash drive so we can import onto the new Mac; however, there is no .pst option for import on the Entourage program. She does not have Outlook Express, but Outlook 2005 from the Office suite.
Any way of getting those .pst files off the flash drive? Her PC desktop is at her home in Virginia, and she just purchased the Macbook today with me out in LA. We would like to set up her Entourage ASAP, especially since I can help her while she is here in LA. If not, open to other suggestions (like .csv file export/import) or anyone know of any useful scripts?
Thanks so much
Leah

We currently have the .pst files on a USB flash drive- is there anything that we can download on the MacBook to convert pst files?

Importing .pst files into mail without a PC

Hello to all those lovely Mac users,
I've got an Outlook .pst file on CD. How can I import mail messages
b without having access to a PC???
The only OS X email client I'm aware of that supports .pst files is entourage 2004 + pst importer for entourage. I, however, only have Office X which is not supported by pst importer. Nor is Office 2004 Test drive.
Thunderbird for OS X is a dead end as well.
Please help me!

You should probably take a look at one of the following options:
• ol2mbox (free): http://sourceforge.net/projects/ol2mbox

Office 365 removal XML file

I am trying to configure Office 365 xml files so I can import them into SCCM 2012 R2. However, I am encountering an issue trying to get the Removal to complete. It prompts if I am ready to remove, I click OK, and it goes through the 4 steps of
removing Office, including shutting down the necessary programs. After it runs it prompts that it has been removed, and recommends that I reboot the machine. However after I reboot, Office 365 is still there, the following is what I have in my
XML file.
<Configuration>
<Remove>
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" />
<Logging Path="%temp%\O365ProPlusRetail\" />
</Remove>

</Configuration>
I tried checking for the Log, but it does not exists, and for the time being I have the Display level commented out.
The command in Powershell that i am running is:
\\Server\share\setup.exe /configure \\Server\Share\remove.xml

Hi,
Could you please provide me the exact build number of your Office 365? I would like have a test with that build and see if it's an specific build issue.
I remember it works for me on a certain build.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Import .pst files to Mail

Just acquired a macbook air and was wondering if there was a problem importing all mi .PST files from outlook into MAIL
Thank you

.PST is Microsofts proprietary container for Notes, Mail, Calendars and Contacts. Mail can not import it.
If it is only Mail that you want I suggest that you buy a copy of Emailchemy.

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.
SF - MCITP:EMA, MCTS
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 =)

Cannot "Save As" any Office 365 Pro Plus files e.g ppt to my OneDrive for Business folder

Hi, I am unable to save any Office 365 ProPlus files to my OneDrive for Business.
When I am in the document, I select File | Save As, browse to my OneDrive for Business folder and Click Save. I get the error
"This file cannot be saved to this location because there is no connection to the server. Check your network and try again."
I can drag and drop the file into OneDrive using Windows Explorer and my OneDrive is Synchronizing files OK. This is happening to my collegue as well. Any ideas on why Save As does not work and how to reslve it?

Hi,
Based on the error message, it seems that the connection between the OneDrive for Business folder and the library in Office 365 site does not connected due to some reasons.
I recommend to click the OneDrive for Business button and click Sync Now to reconnect the folder with the site.
And then check the status of the OneDrive for Business folder to see if the sync is OK.
After that, use Save As to save the documents to the OneDrive for Business folder and compare the results.
If above cannot help, I recommend to clear the OneDrive for Business cache and re-sync the library.
You can refer to the link below for detailed steps:
