Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to export around 30 old mailboxes to PST prior to removing them from the system completely. The script I've come up with seems ok, but I'm getting an error when executing:

The script:

Import-Csv c:\list.csv | %{New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $_.UserName -FilePath "\\SERVER\Share\PST Backups\$_UserName.pst"}

The error:

The server or share name specified in the path may be invalid, or the file could be locked.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [New-MailboxExportRequest], RemotePermanentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=SERVER,RequestId=54f75210-2ab7-4a27-84ce-48cf1895709c,TimeStamp=26/05/2015 1:18

  wMailboxExportRequest
    + PSComputerName        : server.domain.local

Perhaps there's an issue with my command, or maybe there's just something I'm missing altogether... any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Anthony

If the issue still persist, I would suggest you to give a try on this available automated solution (http://www.exchangemailboxtopst.org/) that I have used earlier with the same concern to export users mailboxes into PST. Hope, this helps you.

I'd rather use a Microsoft Technology which is in-built into Exchange, however thanks for the information.

This did the job, thank you!
