During the process of Cutover Migration users need to convert their EDB file extension to PST so that it can be read and written post-migration. Here are the methods on how to convert EDB to PST Manually.
Convert EDB to PST Using Exchange Management Shell
Exchange Management Shell provides a command-line interface to access the database, get its status, and make the required changes in them.
To convert free EDB to PST file, use the following commands in a sequential manner:-
Run the command to get the list of mailboxes in a database.
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database
The command will enlist all the mailboxes present in the database.
Run the command to export the EDB file to a PST.
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox -FilePath ExchangeBackupPSTMailboxName.PST
The command will save the mailbox data to a new PST file. But make sure that the destination folder is a shared folder.
Run the command to check the status of the mailbox export request.
Get-MailboxExportRequest
It will provide the status of the export request.
After completing the export process, cancel the export request by the following command.
Remove-MailboxExportRequest -Identity
Using this process, you can export the data from a single mailbox.
Hope this method works out for you.
