The Import-CrmOrganization cmdlet initiates the process to import a Dynamics 365 organization database into the deployment. If desired, you can provide new names and other information for the organization. If the specified organization database needs to be upgraded, this occurs as part of this operation. This is an asynchronous operation. You must poll the operation status with Get-CrmOperationStatus to determine when the operation is complete.
Begins the import process for the contos_MSCRM organization database into the Dynamics 365 deployment. You can see the progress of the operation with the PowerShell command Get-CrmOperationStatus –OperationId $importJobId.
