How to export PST files from SBS 2011


First you have to give the required access:
  1. Start Exchange PowerShell
  2. Type:  New-ManagmentRoleAssignment -Role "mailbox import export" -User ""
  3. Close Exchange PowerShell
  4. Restart Exchange PowerShell as Administrator
  5. Type: New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox 'username' -FilePath "\\'server'\'share'\'filename.pst'"
  6. You can also run a bulk export:
    1. $Export = get-mailbox; $Export|%{$_|New-MailboxExportRequest -FilePath \\localhost\PST\$($_.alias).pst}

  • Hi, I know that this post is a bit old, but I am having difficulty exporting a mailbox to a pst. I have done all the admin rights and restarted the exchange shell as administrator. The problem is that the mailbox is larger than 2gb and when it hits 1.99gb, it stops exporting and when i run Get-MailboxExportRequest, i get the status of failed. How can I rectify this?
