Until SP1 for Exchange 2007 is released, dealing with the PST files is only available through Outlook. You cannot use exmerge with E2007 which would allow you to something centrally.

In outlook, just go to file, open, outlook data file, open the users pst, and then you can use ctrl a to select all and copy the mails and then copy them into the exchange mailbox, your can also right click folders and drag them into hte exchange mailbox and say copy or move.
When i right click on the folders and click on copy to it doesnt show the mailbox, secodly when i will transfer the PST file does that transfer their folders and there Rules as well.
Ok before i continue to install echange i have a slight problem in DNS, not sure how to solve it, i am pasting the results for dcdiag, netdiag and nslookup.Just a bit background on my network i have windows server 2003 x64 bit, IP and DNS; 10.1.1.123, Subnet:255.255.255.0; Gateway: 10.1.1.1; Server name:ec3 ; Domain name: ec3global.com.
