Migration Copy Outlook Public Folder Contents to C Drive - Powershell

Question

Our business is looking to migrate all of the files stored in our Outlook public folders into Microsoft Teams.

Trying to identify the correct command that would allow us to copy the folders and contents to the C drive via Powershell.

From there to migrate into the appropriate department Teams sites.

If anyone has alternative suggestions for how to migrate the Outlook Public folders to Microsoft Teams or the C drive of the server, please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I'm dating myself, but the only way to do that used to be using MAPI directly (via script, for example), or by using the MFCMAPI program.

What do you intend to do with the folder permissions?

Hello there, Outlook saves backup information in a variety of different locations. Depending on what type of account you have, you can back up your emails, your personal address book, your navigation pane settings, your signatures, templates, and more. If you're using a Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, or Outlook.com account, your email messages are backed up on your email server. In most cases, you won't have a Personal Folders file (.pst) for these types of accounts. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/find-and-transfer-outlook-data-files-from-one-computer-to-another-0996ece3-57c6-49bc-977b-0d1892e2aacc This article provides a comparison of public folders and Microsoft 365 Groups, and how one or the other might be the best solution for your organization. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/collaboration/public-folders/migrate-to-microsoft-365-groups?view=exchserver-2019 Hope this resolves your Query !! --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept it as an answer--
