I'd like to use this script to import all pst files located in the users "outlook files" folder into their corresponding archive mailboxes. Many users have more than a single pst file to import, so the more simple one line command to import psts will not work. We have the users copy all the psts into a single folder and the script imports all the pst file found in the folder whether it is one pst file or several.
$filepath = "\\server\share\username\documents\outlook files folder\"
$items = Get-ChildItem -Path $filepath -Filter *.pst
foreach ($item in $items) {
$location = Join-Path -Path $filepath -ChildPath $item.Name
New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox username -IsArchive -FilePath $location
}
If I had a text file with a list of 30 user names such as:
jbond
jsmith
mjones
kchang
What is the syntax to pull the usernames from a text file and substitute the word "username" for the actual user name in the share name and the mailbox username/alias in the mailboximportrequst and the mailbox import label, complete the pst import using the new-mailboximport command (naming the mailbox import (mailboximportusername, mailboximportusername1 etc. (instead of just mailboximport, mailboximport1), then start a new mailbox import request for the next name and so on until it gets to the last name?
