How to Import PST in Exchange 2013 Server using Exchange Management Shell

Mike Jackson | December 1st, 2014 | exchange 2013

The team of Microsoft Exchange has been doing wonderful job by introducing a new way to import Outlook PST file in Exchange environments. This blog post will go over the complete process how to manage the import PST process using Exchange Management Shell in Exchange 2013 server with New-MailboxImportRequest.

Before starting the import process, one thing to keep in mind is to completely check the PST file data which you want to import in Exchange server. Reason being, the cmdlet will import whatever data that is in PST into the particular mailbox. In other words, there is no confirmation of the content being imported in mailbox.

Now to start PST importing process, use this following syntax:

“Where
