Error importing PSTs into Exchange 2010 SP1

exchangeexchange-2010importoutlook

I created a PST at the location c:\pstfiles\user.pst to test importing PSTs into Exchange 2010 via PowerShell.

I'd already installed 64bit outlook on the server, and added import export roles to the account I was using.

I was then using the command

Import-Mailbox –Identity [Username] –PSTFolderPath c:\pstfiles\user.pst

to import this pst file into [username]'s mailbox.

And get the following error:

Error was found for XXX because: Error occurred in the step: Approving object. An unknown error
has occurred., error code: -2147221219
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (0:Int32) [Import-Mailbox], RecipientTaskException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CFFD629B,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.ImportMailbox

I'm struggling to find information on what this means.

You need to give the Exchange Trusted Subsystem read/write access to the folder that contains the PST. Try again after adding this to your ACL on the pstfiles folder.
