Hi<br />
<br />
We are running Exchange 2007 SP3. Our users use Outlook 2007 SP2<br />
<br />
I need to export a user's mailbox date to a PST file as one of our users is moved to another country and will need a new mailbox set up there (same org). The quickest way for me to do this is to use Outlook to export the data to a PST, then when his new mailbox is up he can re-import the PST.<br />
<br />
BUT - the only machine I have spare to export the PST is using Outlook 2003.<br />
<br />
Is there any issue with exporting mailbox data using Outlook 2003 for use on a mailbox that will use Outlook 2007?<br />
<br />
This article implies that 2003 and 2007 use the same PST format <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/create-and-use-pst-data-files-in-different-versions-of-outlook-HP001231987.aspx" rel="ugc">http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/create-and-use-pst-data-files-in-different-versions-of-outlook-HP001231987.aspx</a><br />
<br />
[I know I can also export using EMS but this is my preferred method].
