Export - Mailbox
This cmdlet is new in Exchange Server 2007 SP1 and is used to export contents of a mailbox to either a
folder or .pst file. This is a feature that has been requested by administrators for some time now. You
can export data from mailboxes residing on Exchange 2000 SP3, Exchange 2003 SP2, and Exchange
Server 2007 servers. There are some considerations to keep in mind while using this cmdlet:
??‘ Export-Mailbox cannot span multiple Active Directory forests. In other words, the source and
target mailboxes must be in the same Active Directory forest.
??‘ Although this feature has been requested by many, at this time, you cannot export data to a
.pst file from a mailbox that is located in a Recovery Storage Group (RSG), nor can you export
contents from a public folder database.
??‘ You must be running on a 32 - bit machine and have Outlook 2003 SP2 or later installed.

Several parameters that provide flexibility with export of mailbox contents are available. For a detailed
list run the following in the Exchange Management Shell: get-help export-Mailbox -detailed .
??‘ PSTFolderPath < LongPath > : This parameter specifies the path of the .pst file to which data
will be exported. If a folder is specified, it must be created first.
