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:

1. 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.

2. Create a new text file called Mailbox.txt in the root folder of drive C that
  contains the following lines:

     [Export]
     DirectoryService=<server1>
     HomeServer=<server2>
     Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=container/cn=<name>
     ExportObject=Mailbox
     InformationLevel=Full
     RawMode=Yes
     HiddenObjects=Yes
     Subcontainers=Yes

     [Import]
     DirectoryService=<server1>
     Basepoint=/o=ORG/ou=SITE/cn=container
     Container=
     InformationLevel=Full
     OverwriteProperties=Yes
     RawMode=Yes

  where <server1> is the name of the computer on which the directory
  service is running, <server2> is the name of the Microsoft Exchange
  Server computer, and <name> is the mailbox's distinguished name (DN).

3. 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
