Import Mailbox is not working
Hello,I just setted up the whole environment to make possible the import from a pst file to an exchange 2007 sp2 mailbox. Mostly what I want is to import the contacts folder, but doing the following process:1. Outlook: Export as pst, Contacts Folder2. Exchange shell: Import-Mailbox -Identity <account> -PSTFolderPath C:\Contacts.pst -IncludeFolders '\Contacts'I'm not getting any results. The contacts (i.e.) stored as a business card in Outlook) are not being imported into Contacts because I cannot see them through OWA.Any help?John 3D

Do you run the Import-Mailbox cmdlet on a 32-bit client or server with the Exchange 2007 Management tools and Outlook 2003 SP2 or later installed?

Could you post your Export-Mailbox script? Maybe the error lies there.MCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M | Small Business Specialist
