Thanks.-- Still learning

Hi Just run powershell script with New-MailboxExportRequest from task scheduler You need to have Impor Export Mailbox Role and export mailbox to share not local disc New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox "John Smith" -FilePath \\server\share\JSmith.pst Remigiusz ExchangeBlog

Hi,WCWS, Do you only want to export one mailbox or all mailboxes to a PST file? Regardless of this,you can run the export powershell scripts in the schedule but make sure you have add confirm $false to avoid a manually break with pressing Y to continute. And for the all mailboxes exporting you can run the following command Get-Mailbox Database "<servername\database name>" | Export-Mailbox PSTFolderPath <folder path for export> -Confirm $false In addition,some old similar threads for your reference. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/hu/exchange2010/thread/622e610c-9c3a-42a6-b66d-a06b601c19bc http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvradminlegacy/thread/11eabb21-95f7-4b33-bb34-f9cc05c38785 Regards, SharonSharon Shen TechNet Community Support ************************************************************************************************************************ Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
