Exchange Explorer - PST Folder Structure

[jimmymc]

Hi All

First of all - big thanks to Veeam for letting us at this beta. Fantastic product with great potential. Exported mailbox data first time with no issues whatsoever (from .EDBs in a dirty shutdown state).

We have a problem with the folder structure of the exported PSTs, though:

If we right-click on a mailbox, and import it to a PST in its entirety, the folder structure of the resulting PST is this:

DisplayName
----Inbox
----Sent Items
----Deleted Items
--------DisplayName
------------Deleted Items
------------Inbox
------------Junk E-Mail
------------News Feed
------------Outbox
etc.

When we try to import the PST into a mailbox using PowerShell, rather than importing folders into their 'like-for-like' counterparts, they import exactly as it does above. i.e. there are now two 'In boxes', two 'Sent Items' etc.

Using the New-MailboxImportRequest command with the -SourceRootFolder option, and choosing 'DisplayName', it doesn't import anything.

Is Exchange Explorer creating/exporting the Mailboxes correctly? Is there a way to export the folder hierarchy, and have it match the source mailbox rather than at a sub-folder further down?

Let me know if I'm not explaining myself correctly.

Many thanks for any help..

Cheers, James

Thanks James, we are testing the same scenario with this PowerShell cmdlet.

Hi Gostev

Apologies - just found out that this might be a false alarm.. we're doing some further testing ourselves. Not sure where the confusion initially was. Feel free to hold off on this one - I'll let you have further details as and when.

Cheers, James

Hello,

Sorry to raise this again after so long, but im getting the same thing as the origional poster. When I export a PST I get a strange structure like the poster mentioned above....



Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this??

Thanks

You don't have a folder view enabled in Outlook on the screenshot to the left, but you do on the right one.
