I have exported several mailboxes from Exchange 2013 to a PST file. Now I want to remove the export requests, since they have completed successfully. I tried 

get-mailboxexportrequest | remove-mailboxexportrequest

and I get the following error:

Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Identity'. Cannot convert value "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" to type
"Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxExportRequestIdParameter". Error: "This IdParameter cannot find an object of the specified type.
Parameter name: identity"
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (uiu.uiu.edu/UIU-Users/UIU-Staff/WalkerA\:PSObject) [Remove-MailboxExportRequest], ParameterBindin...mationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Remove-MailboxExportRequest
    + PSComputerName        : servername.domain.edu

So I run 

Get-mailboxexportrequest

And I see that the name and Identity of the moves are empty, completely.

Using remove-mailboxexportrequest alias\mailboxexport0 doesn't work either.

Using remove-mailboxexportrequest with the requestGUID parameters doesn't work either.

How can I remove this re

Hi,

I recommend you to follow the below steps to remove the request:

1.please run "get-mailboxexportrequest | fl" command, you will get the detailed infomation about the export requst.

2.run "remove-mailboxexportrequest -identity "**""

Here is the picture for your reference:

Hope it helps you!

Thanks.

Thanks, Niko.

Unfortunately when I use FL I can see that "identity" is completely blank, as well as the name field. When I run 

remove-mailboxexportrequest -identity "**"

I get the following error:

Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Identity'. Cannot convert value "**" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxExportRequestIdParameter".
Error: "Invalid format for the Identity "**".  Correct formats are: "RequestGuid" or "MailboxName\RequestName"."
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Remove-MailboxExportRequest], ParameterBindin...mationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Remove-MailboxExportRequest
    + PSComputerName        : server.domain.edu

I'm still unable to remove these requests. This is the same for import requests as well as export requests.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

Please try the following command:

remove-mailboxexportrequest -status completed 

Thanks.

Thanks Niko,

Unfortunately when I try that command I get the following error:

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'status'.

I used tab completion to ensure the cmdlet is correctly entered.

Thanks again for your time and effort on this.

Hi,

Could you please post it as a screenshot ?

Thanks.
