I created a PST at the location c:\pstfiles\user.pst to test importing PSTs into Exchange 2010 via PowerShell.

I'd already installed 64bit outlook on the server, and added import export roles to the account I was using.

I was then using the command

Import-Mailbox –Identity [Username] –PSTFolderPath c:\pstfiles\user.pst

to import this pst file into [username]'s mailbox.

And get the following error:

Error was found for XXX because: Error occurred in the step: Approving object. An unknown error
has occurred., error code: -2147221219
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (0:Int32) [Import-Mailbox], RecipientTaskException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CFFD629B,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.ImportMailbox

I'm struggling to find information on what this means.

You need to give the Exchange Trusted Subsystem read/write access to the folder that contains the PST. Try again after adding this to your ACL on the pstfiles folder.

You could try running fixmapi at the command prompt. That's fixed this error in the past.

Also, Exchange 2010 SP1 is still in Beta. It is possible this is a bug as SP1 isn't ready for production yet. EDIT

Since that didn't work, try this:

get-mailbox | Add-mailboxpermission -User Administrator -AccessRights FullAccess

Looks like it might be a permissions issue

Also try running powershell as administrator

  • Thanks for your answer Jason, I have tried this today but I still get the same message. I have read some articles on importing PSTs into 2010, hence getting as far as I have got, but I’m lost now. Has anyone here succeeded? – user50729 Aug 12 '10 at 13:21

Try changing -identity [username] to -identity [display name / email address / exchange alias]
Edit Just noticed there is a ' at the end of your command is this a typo or was it intentional?

  • So I had to postpone the project but I am now back on it with the help of the following website: http://sysadmin-talk.org/2010/08/how-to-import-pst-files-into-exchange-2010-the-manual-way/ Even with this information it's still a bit of a pig. It would be great to hear if anyone else is having problems/ has succeeded. – user50729 Sep 07 '10 at 16:55

The Error caused in the command is due to the file path provided. The file path "c:\pstfiles\user.pst" is the normal path. But for Exchange processing, the path provided is the UNC Shared File Path.

This File path is found in the Properties >> Sharing section of the Folder containing the PST file.

The UNC File path would be like "\Exchange_version\pstfiles\user.pst"

Also, provide full control to the folder regarding permissions on Read and Write. Provide this permission by going to Folder Properties>> Security. Under Permission section, provide Full control to read and write permissions.

Hope that this will resolve your issue.
