\u00a0A very common necessity for Exchange server users i.e. they want to import their Outlook PST into public folder of Exchange 2013 for accomplishing their task.

    Generating a Shared Folder<\/h2>\n
    In Exchange 2013, we require a new folder, which supports Import process and can be used in multiple other processes. Such folders are known as Shared Folder, generally named as EXUtil$. Since Exchange 2013 has reduced the usage of console environment and has adopted web interface, therefore, we require such file that can be created anywhere over the network.<\/div>\n
    Create such folder for performing import procedure and for getting better performance add Exchange Trusted Subsystem at Share and Security level permissions of the EXUtil$ file.<\/strong><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    \n

    Note: To Import PST to Exchange Public Folder Directly Use Exchagne Importer<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

    Enabling Import Permissions<\/h2>\n
    Exchange users must have permission enabled in their account for importing the PST files. Hence, before proceeding further go through the following steps to enable the import permission, which is by default disabled in Exchange 2013:<\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Login into your Exchange 2013 admin account<\/li>\n
    2. Click on the permissions<\/strong> option, from the menu appearing at left-hand side of screen\u00a0\"import<\/li>\n
    3. Click on Recipient Management<\/strong> and on the left window pane check the Assigned Roles<\/strong> list. From this list search for Mailbox Import Export<\/strong> option. If you find the option, then stop the procedure here and start importing procedure. Else, continue with Step (d)\u00a0\"import<\/li>\n
    4. Click on pencil icon from the middle pane of the window (as shown in screenshot)\u00a0\"import<\/li>\n
    5. Now a Role Group<\/strong> window for adding new roles will appear in front of you. From this window, click on + button to continue
      \n\"import<\/li>\n
    6. From Select a Role<\/strong> window, select Mailbox Import\/Export<\/strong> option and then click on add >> OK\u00a0\"import<\/strong><\/li>\n
    7. Now again go to permissions<\/strong> option >> Recipient Management<\/strong> and you will find Mailbox Import Export option from Assigned Roles section\u00a0\"import<\/li>\n
    8. Now open PowerShell of Exchange 2013 on your machine and execute the following command:
      \nNew-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role \u201cMailbox Import Export\u201d -User (user_name)<\/code>
      \nNOTE:<\/strong> Fill the bracket with relevant user name.\u00a0\"import<\/li>\n
    9. Now log-out<\/strong> from your Exchange account and then again log-in into it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n

      2. From the import wizard, mention the location of PST file that was saved in shared folder and then click on Next<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n
      3. Select the destination mailbox, where you want to archive the imported data and then click on Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      4. If you want that no email should be generated after completion of importing procedure, then click on Finish<\/strong> button; else go to step 5.<\/li>\n
      5. Tick mark on the Send email option and select the mailboxes where you want to send the process completion mail. Now at the end, click on Finish<\/strong> button to import PST into public folder Exchange 2013.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
