Since I am in favor of RBAC I created a little script to create an Exchange Import and Export Management Group, add the current user to this group and assign the appropriate rights to the group.
# To be able to import PST files you must be member of the Import Export Management Role. # Bas Steelooper, XOBIT IT Services # # This script will create an AD Group in the users OU named Exchange-ImportExport-Management # And add the current user to this group. # You have to logoff and logon again to use the newly acquired rights # Configure here the name of the group to create $GroupName = "Exchange-ImportExport-Management" #============================ # Do not edit below this line #============================ #Prepare the needed modules Import-Module ActiveDirectory Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 # Create the AD Group as a Universal Group New-ADgroup -Name $GroupName -GroupScope 2 # Add the current logged on user to the Group Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $GroupName $env:username # Assign the Import Export Rights to the Group New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name "ImportExport-Management" -SecurityGroup $GroupName -Role "Mailbox Import Export"
