SUMMARY
This article describes how to export an individual mailbox's most common directory attributes to a text file. You cannot use Microsoft Exchange Server to export the contents of an individual mailbox in a container.



MORE INFORMATION
To export an individual mailbox's most common directory attributes to a text file, follow these steps:  Copy the Mailbox.csv file from the Support\Samples\Csvs\Mailbox folder on the Microsoft Exchange Server CD-ROM to the root folder of drive C.  Create a new text file called Mailbox.txt in the root folder of drive C that contains the following lines:

     [Export] DirectoryService= HomeServer= Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=container/cn= ExportObject=Mailbox InformationLevel=Full RawMode=Yes HiddenObjects=Yes Subcontainers=Yes

[Import] DirectoryService= Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=container Container= InformationLevel=Full OverwriteProperties=Yes RawMode=Yes

where is the name of the computer on which the directory service is running, is the name of the Microsoft Exchange Server computer, and is the mailbox's distinguished name (DN).  Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe /e c:\mailbox.csv /o c:\mailbox.txt



NOTE: After you export an individual mailbox's most common directory attributes to a text file, you can use the following command to import the attributes:

c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe /i c:\mailbox.csv /o c:\mailbox.txt
