If you have worked with exchange for a long time you have probably used utilities such as X Mirch or
the Exchange 2007 management shell to import and export data between mailboxes and BSD files.
While these tools are very useful for their time they had some limitations.
For example x Murchu was the main important export utility starting with an exchange five point five
and continue on to exchange 2003.
But it was difficult to automate Exchange 2007 including the import mailbox and expert mailbox command
left.
That made it easier to automate these tasks through partial scripts.
Unfortunately the expert mailbox come and let require both 32 bit workstation run in the search to bit
version of the Exchange 2007 management tools and Microsoft Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2 or higher.
With the release of exchange 2010 administrators we were given a new set of command letters that can
be used to manage the import and export operations for exchange mailboxes lease new.
C'mon let's have no dependencies on a management workstation.
And there is no requirement to install Outlook to perform these tasks.
Exchange 2010 introduced a new concept called Mailbox import and export requests that implement this
functionality as a server side process.
In this video you'll learn how to configure your environment and these commands lets to automate mailbox
import and export requests.
Let's look at how to import and export to a mailbox and the following steps.
Let's start off by expert in our mailbox.
PSAT file.
First Syal the mailbox import export role to your account.
You don't live for low income and you'll need to restore the shell after running this command for they
are silent.
Come on let's to be reasonable.
So the command looks like this new management role assignment role mailbox.
Import Export.
User administrator.
Next you'll need to create a network share that can be used to store the pistes file when you create
the share.
Make sure that the exchange trusted subsystem group in Active Directory has at least read and write
NTFS permissions to the folder and also has modified share permissions.
The last step is to use the new mailbox expert to request command left to export the data for a mailbox.
By default the builtin mailbox import export role is not a sign to anyone including administrators.
This means that out of the box you'll not be able to run the mailbox expert request.
C'mon let's even if you are a member of the organization management role group.
Therefore the first step in this process is to assign your account to this role in the new management
role assignment command left.
In this example you can see that we created a direct assignment in the User Account of administrator.
This can be your administrative account or an actual roll group that you are already a member of.
If you need to you can specify the role to be assigned to a role group or an Active Directory security
group.
On the security group parameter will occasionally used for imported and expert that the files must be
a well that.
See path lead exchange trusted subsystem group has access to.
This is because the command lets that your executor are actually running under the security context
or they change servers in this group.
This is required to imply Mandl and you are backed security model and therefore their share and NTFS
Permissions must be assigned to this group and not to your user account specifically.
The syntax for the import and export commands is fairly straightforward.
If you take a look at the command used to the previous example you can see that they are able to easily
create and export request for a specified mailbox.
Use in aspecific file share on the network.
Use an additional parameter truth can do other interesting things such as only experts in specific folders
of a mail box to peers to.
For example you could type the following command.
New mailbox expert request mailbox test user include folders sent items file past contorts so and so
on.
That appears to file exclude dumpster.
As you can see from the list command to your only expert in the San titles well known folder from the
Test User mailbox and we are excluding the items in the dumpster by surrounding the name of the well
known folder with hashes exchange real expert led folder.
Regardless if the folders name and another language there is another sample that expert's data from
an archive mailbox.
You could type in your mailbox export request mailbox test user Guntown filter received later.
Four star general to solve and Fortean file paths can Tulsa and so on archive dot don't.
Pistes exclude dumpster and is.
Here we are specified that we want to only export data from the archive mailbox.
You know there is archive switch parameter.
In addition we are limited in the amount of data exported from the mailbox.
You the content filter parameter we are including all of those items that were received before first
general 2014.
In addition to the received groper to lead content filter parameter allows you to highly customized
the data that is expert and you can create up to 10 mailbox sexpert request or mailbox without manually
specifying a name for really expert requests.
Once you have reached this limit you need to either specify a unique name for the export request or
delete some of the previous expert requests using the remove mailbox export request command led using
the Contemp filter parameter you filter the recipient types of attachments that are included in a message
text in the body and more for a complete list of whaleboat property names.
Check out the filter rebuild properties for the content filter parameter on tech Nat.
You can use the get mailbox import request and Matt get mailbox export request command lads to view
the status of your import and export desk's to view all requests simply simpler the appropriate get
command lands if you want to narrow your search.
You can use the mailbox and status parameters for example get mailbox export request mail box.
Test User status failed.
This command will return all of the expert requests made for the test user mailbox that can have a failed
status.
You can use the same syntax for the import version of this command led to reviews similar information
when it comes to advance report him of import or export request.
There are two command lets available that you can use.
Get mailbox export requests to two sticks and get mailbox import request to sticks.
Those can be used to provide detailed information about the tasks associated with particular operation.
For example let's take a look at the following script for foreach expert variable in get mailbox expert
request.
Get mailbox expert requester sticks for expert variable and then pipe it to select object source as
status and sound complete Lisburne Wyat a brief report of each export request.
This can be useful when you are performing multiple import or export operations and need to check the
status of each one.
When it comes to important data into mailboxes then you mailbox import request command letter works
similar to a new mailbox export request come on.
Most of the parameters shown in the previous examples are available both for.
C'mon let's for example we can import data into a specific folder in an X import box with the following
command.
Mailbox import request.
Mail books that men for the folder recover file past contorts the dash x 0 1 expert test user underskirt
sound that pasted this command to impersonate test user bursty into the recover folder of the admin
mailbox.
In addition to expert data from archive mailboxes we can also import data into archive mailboxes where
there is archives which parameter.
Now lets greatest group that will export all of the mailboxes in your organization to individual besty
files stored in a central location.
Create a new file called Roxburgh dog.
P.S. WAHM and save it in the C drive.
Use using a text editor.
Open the file and add the following code and then save the file you can use for these purposes as well.
The script looks like this we are using foreach loop and a few parameters in the new mailbox sexpert
request command.
This group provides a couple of parameters to use to control the behavior of the mailbox export requests.
First the best parameter it will allow us to specify the usage share for our expert to mailboxes.
Secondly the batch name parameter it's used to logical a group that export requests Yulun a friendly
common name as we loop through each mailbox.
We are doing a few things we are using the value of the first parameter as the root directory of the
piston file and we are using the alias property for the mailbox for the base file name.
This will ensure that each bursty file is stored centrally in the required location using a unique file
name that matches the mailbox.
To run the script the command my look something like live Folarin Bachche wearable equals expert for
get day to short dextrin and very specified pass and beshe name will create each mailbox sexpert request
on a batch name such as export for Ambriel get the date here.
Then you can easily check the status of all the mailbox export requests that are grouped into that batch
name used and the following command.
Got mailbox sexpert requested sticks and pipe it to their object command.
Land animals select service Eliel status and percent complete.
This one liner will give you a brief report on the age of the experts request performed and the badge
graded on your date.
The report can be reviewed in the shell and expert to text or CXXVI file or e-mail to another user.
