Install python 3.5 or later on your windows PC that runs the MDaemon instance and add the python executable to the environment _(google search: windows add python.exe to the environment PATH)_\n0. Copy the `mdexport.py` script to the MDaemon's \"Users\" folder that holds your domain(s) accounts\n0. Open a windows's cmd or powershell session and move to that folder\n0. Run `python.exe mdexportab.py` in your console and wait for it\n0. Your data will reside on a newly created `output` folder\n\n## FAQ\n\n**It's possible to export the data in another format?**\n\nYes, drop me a tweet (@co7wt) or an issue on this repository and I will think about it\n\n**It only works with that precise version of Python?**\n\nNo, it _must_ work with any python in the 3.x branch; for example in a recent migration job I found that a Windows 2008 server can't install the latest python 3.8.x and ask me for a service pack and a .NET version... using an old python version (3.5) I managed to run it and avoid the nasty \u0026 time-consumming upgrade and .NET install as that server will be reinstalled with a FLOSS solution\n\n**Why it's not exporting data for some users? or I have 200 users and only exported data for 123 of them?**\n\nSimply, some users don't have any address in their addressbook files, that users will not have a .vcf file\n\n**I ran the script and it's taking ages to finish, is that normal?**\n\nIt depends on the user count, the mails count on every user's folder, and even on the hardware \u0026 PC load at the time of run\n\nFor example: in a Corei3 (4th gen) PC with 8 GB of RAM with Windows Server 2008 r2 as a Production PC, even with other services in the bacground (MSSQL, Domain Controller \u0026 MDaemon server) it took about 8 minutes for ~80 users, +50GB of emails and about 1200 contacts globally\n\n**I wonder if your script can do A, B or even C new feature... can you implement that?**\n\nYes, but remember It's a hobby for me and I work on it holliday/weekend style; it can take a while to be implemented, use the issues feature ot github to report your request; if you are on a rush I will accept a small donation to give you priority.\n\n**Hey! this is a great tool and I want to donate some of the saved ~$50 bucks to you**\n\nThank you, please contact me on twitter for instructions my nick there is @co7wt\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstdevpavelmc%2Fmdexportab","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstdevpavelmc%2Fmdexportab","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstdevpavelmc%2Fmdexportab/lists"}
