This solution is only available to members.

To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.

First, what exchange version that you are using?

If you are using Exchange 2007, then you can use Export-Mailbox

if you are using Exchange 2010, then you can use New-MailboxExportRequest

View queue - Get-Queue

@suriyaehnop - the author stated exchange 2010 in the tags and i already posted that technet link above

View queue - Get-Queue

*sigh* - I think he meant the MRS queue which is Get-MailboxExportRequest

Create a new mailbox export that will export all items in a mailbox:

New-MailboxExportRequest -Identity mailtoexport@contoso.com -PSTFolderPath C:\Location\PSTName.pst

View items that are pending in the MRS (Mailbox Replication Service) queue that need to be exported:

Get-MailboxExportRequest

Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics

When its all done, you can remove the Mailbox export requests in bulk. I usually do this:

Get-MailboxExportRequest -Status Completed | Remove-MailboxExportRequest -Confirm:$FALSE
