ID: Q160981

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SUMMARY

This article describes how to export an individual mailbox's most common directory attributes to a text file. You cannot use Microsoft Exchange Server to export the contents of an individual mailbox in a container.

MORE INFORMATION

To export an individual mailbox's most common directory attributes to a text file, follow these steps:

Copy the Mailbox.csv file from the Support\Samples\Csvs\Mailbox folder on the Microsoft Exchange Server CD-ROM to the root folder of drive C.

Create a new text file called Mailbox.txt in the root folder of drive C that contains the following lines:


      [Export]
      DirectoryService=<server1>
      HomeServer=<server2>
      Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=container/cn=<name>
      ExportObject=Mailbox
      InformationLevel=Full
      RawMode=Yes
      HiddenObjects=Yes
      Subcontainers=Yes

      [Import]
      DirectoryService=<server1>
      Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=container
      Container=
      InformationLevel=Full
      OverwriteProperties=Yes
      RawMode=Yes

where <server1> is the name of the computer on which the directory service is running, <server2> is the name of the Microsoft Exchange Server computer, and <name> is the mailbox's distinguished name (DN).

Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe /e c:\mailbox.csv /o c:\mailbox.txt

NOTE: After you export an individual mailbox's most common directory attributes to a text file, you can use the following command to import the attributes:

c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe /i c:\mailbox.csv /o c:\mailbox.txt
