<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am writing a powershell script that uses Get-MailboxExportRequest to export out mailboxes. &nbsp;Before I call Get-MailboxExportRequest, I want to confirm there are no other request running for the same account. &nbsp;If there are, I would like to wait.<br />
<br />
I have written the code below that waits if there is an existing MailboxExportRequest. &nbsp;However, my issue is if there is not, this sits in an endless loop. &nbsp;<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28965733-1">while(!(Get-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $mailBoxName.Alias -Status Completed))
{
	Sleep -s 300
}</code></pre>
<br />
Does anyone have a suggestion? &nbsp;Many Thanks!

How do use New-MailboxExportRequest to see if a mailbox is being exported, if so, wait for it to finish.
