Exporting a mailbox in Exchange 2010

We recently migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.  There is no Exmerge in Exchange 2010 and I have mailboxes that need to be exported.  I've seen articles that say to use the Export-Mailbox cmdlet as well as the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet in EMS to export a mailbox.  Neither of these cmdlets are recognized.  Is there anything else I can try?  We are running Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition SP1.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

This is what I use for Exchange 2007.  I believe it should work for 2010.

1.      Grant the account you run this under full perms on the user's mailbox.
2.      Login to a machine as account with full perms on the mailbox.  The machine must be a 32 bit OS with the Exchange 2007 management tools installed in my environment.
3.      Open the Exchange management shell.
4.      Run the following command:
Export-mailbox –identity username –pstfolderpath “c:\psts\username.pst” –confirm:$false

Username = user login
it should be the new-mailboxexportrequest command.

Here is an example command that I use:

New-MailboxexportRequest -mailbox user_name -filepath \\server\d$\export\user_name.pst
You can export to a PST using the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet

When I try running the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet I get an error message that "The term 'New-MailboxExportRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet."
Did you add the permissions as per my previous post?

If not, what you are seeing is correct
Yes I did apply the permission settings.  Here is the full output

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox malcolme -FilePath "c:\MALCOLME.pst"
The term 'New-MailboxExportRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name,
 or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Closing and then reopening EMS seems to have done the trick
