Configure Mailbox Import Request Properties

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

After you create a mailbox import request, the request could possibly fail (for example, if the bad item limit is exceeded). If the request fails, you can edit the properties of the mailbox import request to increase the bad item limit. After the mailbox import request is initiated, you can edit the settings until it reaches a status of Completed.

Note

You can't use the Exchange Management Console (EMC) to change the properties of an import request. You must use the Shell.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Import Export" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

This example changes the mailbox import request Kweku\Import to accept up to five corrupted mailbox items.

Set-MailboxImportRequest -Identity "Kweku\Import" -BadItemLimit 5

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-MailboxImportRequest.

Use the Shell to change the properties of multiple mailbox import requests

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Import Export" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Get-MailboxImportRequest -Status Suspended | Set-MailboxImportRequest -BatchName April14

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-MailboxImportRequest and Set-MailboxImportRequest.
