Create an Import Export Management Group with rights

To be able to use the other script to import PST Files, you first must have the permission to do so.

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"

#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"
