Folks, This is on behalf of a good friend, who's been thrown in at the deep end. I've no current experience in Exchange, other than high-level sys admin account management. Any suggestions? Hi B, So basically i have like 16 mailboxes that have been exported from exchange2003 using exmerge. i currently have them all stored on a hard drive as .pst files but i need them imported into exchange 2007. Problem is i dont think i can use the powershell cos i am using the 64bit OS - exmerge dosent want to run at all on exchange 2007. There are also quite alot of custom folders etc within the .pst's as well.

Hi,
We did that for around 5 years - start off with Sendmail, then move to a different Exchange clone as the business grew. We ended up with Scalix, which was a Linux email server which did a lot of what Exchange did. The issue with these products is that they are always one step behind what MS are doing with Exchange, for example, none of these Exchange clones yet have Sharepoint integration.
Also, if you are involved with any MS licensing programme and have several users on the programme, you will find that Exchange gets lobbed in with all the other apps, so it becomes more expensive to use something different (like Communigate or Scalix).
Sad but unfortunately true.
Andrew.

Makes sense, I've only used exchange from an admin angle as a small company
with less than 100 users. Where I work now thankfully I only touch network
elements.

Hi, Use the Powershell commands import-mailbox and export-mailbox to replicate the functionality of Exmerge. You can only run these commands on a 32-bit machine with Outlook (at least 2003) installed, and the Exchange 07 management tools installed. I recently wrote tools to convert around 200 users from Scalix to Exchange, and it involved this process, so any more information required please let me know. OTOH, if the Exchange 2003 server is still in the same org he can just move the mailboxes. Thanks.

Hi, Exmerge is a no no on Exchange 2007 anyway, the only way forward is to use import-mailbox and export-mailbox.

Think her main prob is exmerge wont' work under a 64bit plat.

You can only run these commands on a 32-bit machine with Outlook (at least 2003) installed, and the Exchange 07 management tools installed. I recently wrote tools to convert around 200 users from Scalix to Exchange, and it involved this process, so any more information required please let me know. OTOH, if the Exchange 2003 server is still in the same org he can just move the mailboxes. Thanks.

Hi B, So basically i have like 16 mailboxes that have been exported from exchange2003 using exmerge. i currently have them all stored on a hard drive as .pst files but i need them imported into exchange 2007.
