Introduction

Priasoft Super-ExMerge is a re-imagined version of a beloved tool from Microsoft Exchange’s earlier days, called ExMerge. This was a tool that could export or import mail data between mailboxes and PST files that is no longer supported / available from Microsoft. Our Super-ExMerge product takes over where ExMerge left off and greatly enhances it’s functionality for today’s modern usage scenarios.

Super-ExMerge follows from the original simple idea to include new and expanded features:

  • Synchronization
  • Mailboxes, Archive Mailboxes, Public Folders, and PST files
  • Single Folder(s), Folder Trees, Entire Mailboxes, or Entire Public Folder trees
  • Date ranges
  • Task queues and deferred start times
  • Logging and status/progress
  • More…

In addition to this list of initial features, Super-ExMerge is provided as a modern PowerShell Module that allows easy use in scripts and automation.

Super-ExMerge is built in .NET (4.5 and later) and uses MAPI for data access. Unlike commands such as Export-Mailbox, New-MailboxImportRequest, and New-MailboxExportRequest, Super-ExMerge is a locally installed toolset that connects to Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, or a PST file versus code that must run directly on an Exchange server. This allows for CPU and RAM on the Exchange server to not be tasked with import/export processing on top of the data requests being made.

Here is a simple example of how Super-ExMerge can be used:

$endPoints = new-ConnectionInfo -SourceType Mailbox -TargetType Mailbox -SourceSmtp src.user@old.com -SourceServer autodiscover.old.com -SourceCreds 'src.user@old.com:Password' -TargetSmtp new.user@new.com -TargetServer autodiscover.new.com -TargetCreds 'new.user@new.com:Wordpass'
$task = new-SyncTask $endPoints -OneWaySyncSourceToTarget
add-SyncTask $task

Some common scenarios for which Super-ExMerge is a natural fit:

  • Export mailbox to PST file
  • Export Public Folders to PST file
  • Sync or Migrate Public Folders to a Shared Mailbox
  • Sync shared mailboxes between different environments
  • Import PST files to mailboxes or public folders
  • Import PST files to Exchange Online Archive mailboxes

If you are familiar with the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet from Microsoft, and want something with a bit better control and performance, we encourage you to look at Super-ExMerge as an alternative.
