Automated PST migration tool or script

Hi There,

I am doing a migration project for about 50 users where they are currently using Outlook 2010 connected to a 3rd party email server using POP3. This means that their mail stores are in PST format and some have multiple multiple PST (when more than 2gb) archives.

I will be migrating their domain and deploying SBS 2008 with Exchange. Is there a tool or script I can use to migrate the PST files into the Exchange server?

Thanks

Wayne

You can try this

Get-Mailbox –Database <name of database> | Import-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath c:\PSTs

where all your PST's are saved with mailbox names in c:\psts

On second thoughts this seems to be manual work and for that many workstations this is a bit tedious. I am looking to automate it.

You will have to get all 50 PST's in one place before you start importing using any script - dont you think ?

Automation can take care of putting those PST's in exchange using 1 script - instead of manually doing 50 imports in 50 outlook's.
