Export archives to PSt then import in to new vault

[RyanUK]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to automate the export of archives to PST files then import into new destination mailboxes. Reason being we have an old forest that we are archiving the mail using enterprise vault07 and then wish to import this mail into our new forest that has new user\mailboxes.

Many thanks,

The process requires that the PST Export and Import wizards be run.  The process is not automated as far as a scheduled Task is concerend though the wizard does automate the import of the PST into an existing archive.

When you export archives to PST files, a configuration file is automatically created for each PST file. This configuration file contains information that is needed if you intend to import the PST file contents back into Enterprise Vault,including:
■ The retention category that was applied to all the items in the PST file
■ The Vault ID, which is needed to correct shortcuts that have been broken by the move


This information can be found in the Administrator's Guide page 204 (Moving a mailbox)

Hi,

Export - not in EV but if you have a lot, perhaps using some kind of gui automation tool like autohotkey
