MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / January 2008Moving calendar from PST to Exchange Server
How do I move Outlook 2003 calendar data from a PST to Exchange Server (which we recently installed)? You need to have a mailbox on the Exchange Server to transfer the information to. Nikki Peterson > How do I move Outlook 2003 calendar data from a PST to Exchange Server > (which we recently installed)? Yeah, I know we need a exchange mailbox. I alreay have the exchange mailbox/folders in Outlook 2003 on this computer. AND, I still have the PST file in Outlook 2003 on this computer. How do I move the calendar stuff from the PST (calendar) to the exchange mailbox/ folders? Is it simply drag & drop?? > Yeah, I know we need a exchange mailbox.

If you have both the Exchange mailbox and the PST connected in the same profile, yes, drag-and-drop works fine.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Yes, it is that simple. - Open the mailbox using Outlook. - Open the PST using the FILE menu in Outlook.(NOTE: If the pst file is on a CD, you will need to copy it to a drive and remove the "Read Only" attribute first) Nikki Peterson > Yeah, I know we need a exchange mailbox.

I tend to prefer to IMPORT the old Outlook 2003 data (saved/exported to a PST file) into new Outlook account/mailbox that has been setup for Exchange only. Why? Because it (1) creates a backup of your Outlook 2003 data (just in case!), (2) allows you on IMPORT into Exchange mail folder to determine what folders are imported, where and (3) you can determine what to do in case of DUPLICATE entries, and finally (4) allows some control over what data is imported into new mailbox (filters, etc). Although COPY-PASTE does work, it can be slower using GUI interface. I have also seen errors in terms of codepage translation between Outlook and Exchange hosted data... and copying calendar entries is sometimes not so "easy" usign the GUI. I always feel too that the resulting Exchange mailbox is possibly more "defragged" as the data is imported sequentially... not sure if GUI does the same. Just my comments from my experience...

Oh... forgot to mention... if you have a PDA (eg Palm, Pocket PC) or Blackberry... you should re-install the software and point it to use the new Outlook profile... to ensure hooks, etc installed correctly.... :) > I tend to prefer to IMPORT the old Outlook 2003 data (saved/exported to a > PST file) into new Outlook account/mailbox that has been setup for [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> calendar stuff from the PST (calendar) to the exchange mailbox/ >> folders?

It can also lose data. Connections between contacts and their birthdays/anniversaries are lost, Distribution Lists won't import, connections between contacts and their journal entries can be lost, and there are other issues with importing as well. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Hi jhunter, to copy only the calendar items and not the complete calendar: Click on the Calendar in the PST file and change the "View" to "Categories" Select the first item and with "Ctrl.+a" (select all) you can activate all items. Now you can move with your mouse all items from one folder to the other without to copy Maybe it helps. -- Oliver Vukovics Share your Outlook PST files without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Synchronisation for Outlook and Exchange: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com select the calendar in the PST file. > How do I move Outlook 2003 calendar data from a PST to Exchange Server > (which we recently installed)? |
