Powershell Import PST fails

[CConsult]

Hi,

I am getting an error when I try to import an PST via Powershell:

(I have shortened the path here [...])

PS [...]>  Add-EVPstFile -UNCPath "\\localhost\d$\[...]\Albert, Hans_EVStore01\00001.pst"  -Archive "Albert, Hans"

Add-EVPstFile : This file is already added.

At line:1 char:2

+  Add-EVPstFile -UNCPath "\\localhost\d$\[...][\M ...

+  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceExists: (Symantec.Enterp...on.AddEVPstFile:AddEVPstFile) [Add-EVPstFi

   le], ApplicationException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DuplicateFile,Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.Commands.PSTMigration.AddEV

   PstFile

My assumption is, that there is a problem with the name or the hash of a pst file.

But it is strange that I can import the same PST with VAC without any problem.

Also the very first PST got imported too. This is why I assume it has something todo with the PST name.

Anyone with a powershell kicker that could help me out? Or any other ideas?

by the way, it is an EV 12.3 with OS Win Server 2016

Are you doing this as the VSA? Does the user have permissions to the Files?

Hi Jakob,

I have just solved it. EV is recognizing already imported filepath+filename.

It is because the PSTs will be written to the "Personal Management" under "Files" as single entries.

I have changed my export/import script so everything works fine now.
