Hi, First please apply the latest update for Exchange 2007 SP1. Then please check whether you have met the below pre-requisites. 1. Export/Import to PST must be run from a 32 bit client machine with Exchange Management Tools installed (Version Exchange 2007 SP1 or later). The 32bit requirement comes from a dependency with the Outlook client. 2. Either Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 must be installed on the client machine. 3. The user running the task must be an Exchange Organization Admin or an Exchange Server Admin on the server where the mailbox to export/import lives Note: PSTFolderPath must be the full path to the directory where the .pst file lives or to the (.pst) file itself. In the case where PSTFolderPath points to a directory the cmdlet will try to match the mailbox alias with the name of an existing .pst file in the specified directory and import the content of that file. I would confirm how did you generate the pst file? Was it a mailbox on Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007? Please try to run the cmdlt with -debug -verbose like Import-Mailbox -Identityest -PSTFolderPath D:\test.pst debug -verbose to see the detail error information. Besides, please check event log to get more information about this issue, please feel free to post here. (Note: Run eventvwr from a command prompt to open Event Viewer) Thread listing below has some similar symptoms with yours, you can refer to that.
