Depends on the version of Exchange and if you want MS native tools or 3rd party MS NATIVE TOOLS Exchange 2003 - ExMerge: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2743 Exchange 2007: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx Exchange 2010: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633455.aspx 3rd Party Tools: Lucid8's DigiScope http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp allows you to open any Offline or Production Exchange database so that you can Browse, Search Export Mailbox, Folder and individual items to PST & MSG or if desired you can recover/import/migrate data directly from any Offline Exchange db into any Production Exchange server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->2007-->2010 etc.Troy Werelius www.Lucid8.com Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline EDB's and Live Exchange Servers with Lucid8's DigiScope

Hello, As Troy mentioned, EXMERGE is a great tool for 2003 and 2007 and 2010 have export feature. Here's a good tutorial for 2010: http://www.stevieg.org/2010/07/using-the-exchange-2010-sp1-mailbox-export-features-for-mass-exports-to-pst/ Miguel Fra | Falcon IT Services, Miami, FL www.falconitservices.com | www.falconits.com | Blog

Only issue with ExMerge is that is only supports ANSI PST files which have a limit of 2GB and really start to degrade at 1.8GB. Also ExMerge will not tell you if you are reaching limit and will instead just corrupt the PST file so if using ExMerge then; Best to export by date range etc to keep PST file size downValidate each PST post export to ensure data is accessible Troy Werelius www.Lucid8.com Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline EDB's and Live Exchange Servers with Lucid8's DigiScope

".. will not tell you if you are reaching limit and will instead just corrupt the PST file.. " also you won't be able to repair this corrupted PST file :-) I fall in this trap ,I wasted few hours trying to repair !!
