Hello,

I was wondering if someone had a powershell script that would allow me to automate breaking a large mailbox (222gb) into multiple .pst files.  We have a journal mailbox that the archiving software is not able to handle, so we are going to break it down into multiple .pst files and import them into the archive.  We can do this manually with Outlook, but was wondering if someone might have a way to automate it with powershell.

We are running 2013 SP1 CU5.

Thanks, and let me know if you need more information.

In 2010 you would use the New-MailboxExportRequest, I'm pretty sure 2013 is the same.  Here it is:

I haven't used it lately, but had a journaling issue very similar to yours and had to export to multiple mailboxes, then archive those mailboxes.  It was not too bad. 

Yes I have seen that, but how do you tell it to split it into multiple?  Does it simply do it on its own when you put in the command to go to a .pst?

Hi Jason,

To do this you can simply use the same cmdlet to export the mailbox with date range limit.

Cheers,

Thank you Shimon1 and Stereobrd.  That will work.

Hi,

You can also use Outlook to export it to PST files.

Thanks,
