Great video - short and clear! Just a question, obviously this option has downtime on the user side. What is the best way of minimizing email downtime especially when you need to re-import psts for new emails before updating MX records to point to 365?
Exactly what i need as i have a 32gb PST (its HR so needs preserving) that literally has 100s of folders within the "inbox", so trying to move each one (you cannot select multiple folders in outlook) into the OST is driving me crazy. So, i'm blanching the office365 mailbox and starting again using your method. Wish me luck!
Great video! However I'm stuck at the point of uuploading files through AZCopy. It seems I need to provide authorizazion credentials. How do I do that? Thank you!
Hi, it is very supportive information. could you please provide information about how we can transfer OneDrive data from one tenant to another tenant for the users whose just pst got transferred with above method?
as far as i know, this method actually takes storage from your exchange online plan , so is there a way to import this to my outlook without taking up space in exchange?
What happens if my tenancy accts already have current mail in them? Will this import kill recent messages and just upload my .pst thus reflecting 'old' mail?
Hi, great video, thanks, does the import maintain the folder structure of the original pst and if it does can you specify a main folder where the import goes to rather than just the inbox
Could you please tell me the process time. Using your case 6GB email account per user. Create the PST process time? Upload the PST process time? Batch Process the PST process time?
What if you do not want the .pst's to be imported into the primary inbox? I want them instead to be appended to the Inbox and an archive folder. Does that mean in the mapping .csv I choose Archive?
Wow great vid! You explained everything so nicely. Question. I have a client where we discovered they have a bunch of archive PSTS on their hard disks. I want to put the data in their online archive but I want there to be folders in the archive for each PST. do I have to create these folders in their archive first? or can I just specify /archive1 in the csv and it will create a folder?
Question: Does the office365 account actually need a licence? The PST i need to import will purely be a shared mailbox. So can i import it as is to the account or do i need to assign a licence (say MS Business Basic), import the PST then convert to shared mailbox and remove the licence?
Really helpful video.....just a quick question, I get an error on the mapping spreadsheet when you go to validate the csv file. It always comes back telling me that the .PST file is not in the storage path specified. Not sure why this is happening as the the path is the same in AureCopy. Any help would be appreciated.
if you get this error and can't add the role in EAC do it in powershell with this command New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "Mailbox Import Export" -User
I'm getting 'MRSUnknownError' when importing to O365. Any ideas what might be causing this? Upload to azure finishes fine, and the mapping file validation is fine as well.
I get this when the unlimited archive folder is full. It adds another 10Gb when it hits that limit but already breaks the import so either we're doing something wrong, or the import cannot work if it hits the top end of the current mailbox size limit. That would mean I can only import in 9Gb chunks which defeats the entire purpose of the bulk import.
Absolutely a great presentation. Thank you. What are the drawbacks of just importing *.pst files directly into Outlook 365 from the import wizard as against this method?
Sorry Jason missed your comment. Main advantage is that you can do lots of PST to multiple mailboxes - copy up, configure, leave it to run. Using the import wizard for large mailboxes I’ve also found less reliable - takes an age and often just crashes.
