How to Export and import an inbox contet from a mailbox to another mailbox exchange 2007 with minimum effort
Hi,
How to Export and import an inbox contet from a mailbox to another mailbox exchange 2007 with minimum effort , without duplication and a selected period.
I have lost some old mails due to a certain incident on 25th July, 2011. I have a full backup with me of 1st July , 2011. Through Symantec Backup exec i restore my backup from Juyly 1st data to a test mailbox. Now i want to import those data in my original mailbox , by avoiding duplication . I know it was easy earlier with exchange 2003 by exmerge but unfortunately microsoft removed that option exchange 2k7.
what is the best practice in my scenario ? Could you please help me.

You can import inbox based on the Date/Time range, if you are familier with PowerShell, you can write a script to delete the duplicate entries.. but if that is not helpful, I would suggest you to import all itemes including duplicate items and then install a free plugin to remove the duplicate items from mailbox, this is a bit of pain I know..

Hello,
Please know that powershell command line export and import is an extension of Exmerge only
You can use Export and Import Mailbox commands for doing that and you dont need to worry about duplicates as it performs that check automatically
refer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb629586%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx
Only if you want to allow duplicate in your import you can use the switch allowduplicates otherwise by default it will not allow duplicates
You can proceed with export and import command line without issues
