merge exchange 2010
hi all, I have just been asked how to use xmerge with exchange 2010 to archive an old (no longer at the company) users email into a PST for safe keeping. I understand this could be done with exchange 2003 but I am told this is not the case with exchange 2010. Is there an alternative I can use / suggest? I am assuming the power shell is the only answer here? If so . . where do I start? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

Your best bet is to use the New-MailboxExportRequest. This link covers the basic steps to export the mailbox to PST, http://exchangeserverpro.com/export-mailboxes-exchange-server-2010-sp1.

this looks easy enough to me but I am not sure if the user will be able to do this. Is there another way? Third party app such as xmerge or are these days gone?

I agree with Troy if this is a one off situation the other option is, give mailbox permissions to the end-user that is exporting the user's mailbox that is no longer at the company. They can use Outlook to connect to the mailbox and export the mailbox content to a pst. Once the user has moved the mail content, remove the mailbox permissions. Add mailbox permissions http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996343.aspx Connect Shared Mailbox http://www.tr.txstate.edu/get-connected/computerservices/e-mail-setup/outlook2010-shared.htmlChris Crandall - CB5 Solutions Exchange 2010 MCM - Office 365 MCM - MCT cbfive.com
