Hi Jinesh, This might be the permission issue, make sure that you have proper permissions... Exchange Server Administrators role Local Administrators group for thetarget server Full access to the target mailbox Reference: How to Import Mailbox Data

Hi Amit, thanks for your reply, let me check it out and come back to you.

Hi, It is working fine now. I am performing as per the following : Dir C:\PSTFILES\*.pst | Import-Mailbox -StartDate 01/01/2003 -EndDate 11/09/2008 Now this process is going, but I can see some mailboxes are not imported properly. After this process is over, how can I see those mailboxes which are having errors during Import. Please advise

Hi Jinesh, You may need to write a custom powershell script to save each errors in a text file to review those later.

Hi, Please update me on this issue as I cannot proceed further on this without resolving this issue. Awaiting your reply

After verifying that all permissions were correct I found that I had some corrupt pst files. Running and export from the legacy Exchange box resolved the issue.
