You can still use the shell cmdlets, Import-Mailbox & Export-Mailbox if you desire so. The Export Mailbox gives you two main options.- Export to a specific folder in another mailbox, which is a cool feature.
- Export to a PST file or even to a folder, if multiple mailboxes need to be imported.
Import Mailbox wizard gives you similar options.
- Import multiple PSTs from a folder in a single go.
- Import PST file into a mailbox.
Note: Both export and import process has to be run from a 32 bit machine with Outlook 2003 SP2 or higher installed. This is the same in Exchange 2007 as well.

Hi, if you read this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb629586(EXCHG.140).aspx ,it says:
To import data from a .pst file, you must run the Import-Mailbox cmdlet against a computer running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 that has the 64-bit version of Microsoft Outlook 2010 installed. We recommend that you run the command on a dedicated Exchange server that doesn't have any mailboxes.
Hi Anonymous,
This post is about 3 months old and is based on 2010 Beta. The beta version had export/import exposed in the EMC, but the RC doesn't. Check my latest article for the latest info

Thanks for the comment.

Hi Rajith, just read your other article that you mentioned. Very intersting. Which build of Office 2010 did you use. Do you know by any chance where I can get it. The beta program is closed.
Thanks a lot
The Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview program is now closed due to high demand and hence you will have to wait until the beta version releases.
Do post your name so that I don't have to call you Anonymous!
Thanks Rajith.
My pleasure Ivan.

So does this mean I cannot import Exchange 2003 PSTs into my Exchange 2010 install until Microsoft releases the 64-bit version of Outlook?
Isn't that pretty aggressive/harsh lapse in Microsoft? I can't continue with my deployment.
Thoughts?
Hi Chris,
MIcrosoft has released an RTM version of Office 2010. Check http://www.howexchangeworks.com/2010/04/office-2010-rtm-available-for-technet.html
