Good evening all,
I have an interesting one and am hoping someone can point me in the right
direction or confirm my assumptions. I was told a couple weeks ago by a
multi-site client that the owners are going through a falling out and thus
they are parting ways. The secondary site has retained our services however
they are 100% dependent on the primary site via an 100Mbps MPLS connection.
We are already working on new SIP and internet services, servers, rack,
switches, workstations, phone system, firewall, etc. and we're good to go
here. The catch is there are around 50 users at the secondary site that all
have email accounts on the locally hosted Exchange 2013 server at the
primary site. We've been told that nobody from the secondary site
(including my company) will be given access to the Exchange server.
Normally I'd just run something like "Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-Mailbox |
Export-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath C:\PSTs" to export everything to PST then
"Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-Mailbox | Import-Mailbox -PSTFolderPath C:\PSTs"
to import it into the new forest but this isn't possible in this situation.

We still have standard user access to the current domain through the end of
the month so what I'm wondering is if any of you know of a script or
utility that can export a user's full Exchange account to a PST so I can
import it into the new O365 tenant? We're going to be putting in new
workstations so each new and old workstation will be touch however I'd
prefer not to have to create the PST manually since we're on a time crunch.
We did some digging and found this

however it only applies to Office 2007 and the client is running Office
2013 and 2016 across their workstations. For kicks, another one of our guys
ran this on their Office 2016 install and it failed. Any assistance is
greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.


Regards,
Tony
