Hi, I'm trying to backup the mailboxes on my exchange server 2010 running on server 2008 R2 using the script from Steve Goodman (http://www.stevieg.org/2010/07/using-the-exchange-2010-sp1-mailbox-export-features-for-mass-exports-to-pst/) I followed every step that is described in the tutorial. But if I run the script I get: The term "New-MailboxExportRequest" is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. The permissions for the folder are: exchange trusted subsystem, administrators Full control. I ran the command "New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "Mailbox Import Export" -User Administrator" in the powershell of exchange. I tried exporting a single mailbox to PST but I got the same error. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone know a solution? Help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi, This command is only available in SP1 or newer. Did you install Exchange 2010 SP1? Leif

Thx for the quick response, No I didn't had SP1 installed. Now that I've done the installation of SP1 for exchange I run the script and it gives me this error: There is no available servers running the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service. Any thoughts? Cheers

Hi, That service is normally running on the CAS servers - please check that the service is started. Leif

Yes the service is running. I just installed Update Rollup 3 for Exchange Server 2010 (KB981401), but did didn't solve the problem. I have 4 users that I what to back up via a PSTFile, 3 mailboxes (2 users and discover search mailbox) don't work but administrator mailbox does work. I'm stuck, dont know wath to do next.. Help would be appreciated.

Hi Sturme, I suggest you follow this document use New-MailboxExportRequest to export the mailbox, then check whether this issue will occur or not. New-MailboxExportRequest http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607299.aspx If you want to use the script from Steve Goodman, please paste the exact error you get (when you run it in Exchange Management Shell ).

I am having a similiar issue but it is telling me the following: "The Term 'New-MailboxExportRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program What am I missing? We have everything up to date on the server with regards to updates. Can someone please help?Jessica Cochran

Hi Jessica, Did you come right with this? I have looked and can't find an answer to this... We have Exchange 2010 SP1 /w rollup 5 installed and still can't run this command from the Exchange Management Shell... "The term 'New-MailboxExportRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, granitewilli

Hi All... After some further investigation, I have found that in order to run the 'New-MailboxExportRequest' command, you need to run the following first: New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role “Mailbox Import Export” –User "DOMAIN\USER" (replace "DOMAIN" with your domain and "USER" with your user that resides within your domain for which you would like to allow this export) Thereafter the 'New-MailboxExportRequest' command worked perfectly for me. New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox USER -FilePath "\\SERVER\SHARE\USER.pst" Hope this helps others looking for the solution more than the previous entries :) Kind regards, granitewilli

The cause is that roles are loaded when the Management Shell is loaded - if the rights didn't already exist they will not be loaded and you will receive the error that the cmdlet is not recognized. Once you exit out and restart the exchange management shell the command should be recognized -Pete

Pete. Thank you for the side note! This was driving me mad.

What granitewilli suggested worked! ...and thanks for the note Pete - worked only after restarted the shell! Couldn't figure out why I was still getting the error!
