Export-Import Transport Rules Exchange 2007 to 2010 RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi all,

    I have a easy question, I have Exchange 2007 servers and Subsequently , I've installed Exchange 2010, before uninstalling Exchange 2007 do I have to export-import transport and journal rules to new Exchange 2010 ? I think I don't need to export because Rules seem in Exchange 2010 too, am I correct ? Thanks in advance

  • Hi mscik,

    However, you do have to take care of Transport Rules and Journaling Rules. Normally, these are exported from Exchange 2007 and imported into Exchange 2010 when you install the Hub Transport Server role, but there are circumstances where you have to do this manually. To migrate Transport Rules from Exchange 2007, logon to the Exchange 2007 Hub Transport Server, open an Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:

    Export-TransportRuleCollection -FileName C:\Export_Transport_Rules.xml

    Copy the resulting file to the Exchange 2010 Hub Transport Server, open an Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:

    [Byte[]]$Data = Get-Content -Path " C:\Export_Transport_Rules.xml " -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0
    Import-TransportRuleCollection -FileData $Data
    When you open the Exchange 2010 Management Console, the Transport Rules will now be not only visible but also fully functional on the Exchange 2010 Hub Transport Servers.
