Import-Mailbox cmdlet is not recognized

Exchange 2010 SP1

I followed dematzer's instructions at...
https://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/A_2709-Importing-PST-files-in-to-Exchange-2010.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+10+2010+30+exchang+file+import+pst

I have installed only Outlook 2010 x64 (plus the tools and shared comps)

I have both a security group and administrator added to role assignments and verified using get-managementroleassignment

Outlook and Exchange on same box single server setup

But still no import-mailbox ..........HELP!!!

This would normally indicate that the management role assignment isn't working.
Are you logged in using the "Administrator" user account?

How long is it since you ran the command?

After creating the proper role assignment you'll need to make sure you log out and log back in to Exchange Management Shell. If you haven't done that try that first.

I ran the command new-managementrole then restarted the server and tried import-mailbox

Yes logged in as administrator
In group member is administrator too

import-mailbox was removed in exchange 2010 sp1 and replaced by new-mailboximportrequest

BigBadWolf, I can only appologis, I have missed a whole section out of my article. or it's at least a little ambiguous.

You have created the Management Role but have you added the users to the group you have assigned that role to?

Did you create a new group or use an existing one?

How do I remove this...I earlier created using othe instructions...Note: I do not wat to delete the Mailbox Import Export role but just the assigment (as created below)

New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Name “MailboxImportExport” –SecurityGroup “Mailbox-IER" –Role “Mailbox Import Export”

Glen Knight

Yes the management role is still required.

It's just a different command, the syntax is almost identical

(looks like I need to update my article)

Akhater

I am sorry but what do you want to remove ?

BigBadWolf_000

ASKER

Thanks i will leave the role assignments as they are...
Ok i ran the command new-mailboximportrequest...it accepted the syntax and went to queued status.

But after a few minutes I ran the get-mailboximportrequest and it shows as failed.

What should I do next?

Akhater

we need to know why it failed check the report or paste the get-mailboximportrequest | fl

BigBadWolf_000

ASKER

Yeah did the get-mailboximportrequeststatistics.....see attached
see results below...note: the pst was created in outlook2003 and then migrated to oitlook 2010 (no issues at the time) client no exc server.
