Exchange 2010 Export Mailbox

  • 772

I'm trying to export a mailbox to PST, and I'm getting the following output:

Does anyone have any ideas what's going wrong here? I've installed Outlook 2010 x64 on a mailbox server, and I'm running this command from the exchange management console.

powershell exchange-2010 export

  1. Well, I found this. It may be an option. Try running the powershell as administrator then running the command. This is apparently a known issue

  2. Step 1: Grant Full Access Rights

    New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role "Mailbox Import Export" –User Administrator

    Step 2: Create a Network Share to save Exported PST files.

    Grant Exchange Trusted Subsystem group read/write permission enter image description here

    Step 3: Run New-MailboxExportReuqest

    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox EricSimson -FilePath "\\SERVER01\PSTFileShare\EricSimson_Recovered.pst"

    You can check the status of active export jobs with Get-MailboxExportRequest command.

    More detailed steps are available here.
