Desperately need to export a user’s mailbox to a PST. I've done this a number of times with no issues. We have Exchange 2007 Enterprise. First I do this: [PS] C:\Documents and Settings\uoradmin\Desktop>Add-Mailboxpermission -Identity deborah_brown@domain.edu -AccessRights fullacces s -user DOMAIN\bill_green then [PS] C:\Documents and Settings\uoradmin\Desktop>Export-Mailbox -Identity deborah_brown@domain.edu -PSTFolderPath C:\ I receive this response: StatusCode : -1056749164 StatusMessage : Error occurred in the step: Moving messages. Failed to copy messages to the destination mailbo x store with error: MAPI or an unspecified service provider. ID no: 00000000-0000-00000000 ReportFile : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Logging\MigrationLogs\export-Mailbox20100729-053925 -5756001.xml I've moved the account into a separate OU and blocked inheritance based on reading I did. That didn't resolve the problem. Really getting worried at this point so would appreciate any assistance greatly.

Can you give a file for the PST ? Export-Mailbox -Identity deborah_baker@domain.edu -PSTFolderPath C:\UserMailbox.pst thanks ThiyaguThiyagu | MCTS/MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE 2003[Messaging] | http://www.myExchangeWorld.com.

You have access to the c:\ path ? Can you create any files directly under C:\? Can you also provide contents of the .xml fileThiyagu | MCTS/MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE 2003[Messaging] | http://www.myExchangeWorld.com. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

To me this looks like a permission issue. Wait for AD to replicate the change you made for giving rights to yourself on that mailbox, i think once that is replicated you should be good. thanks ThiyaguThiyagu | MCTS/MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE 2003[Messaging] | http://www.myExchangeWorld.com.

I can create files on C:\ without any issues (luckily).

Just to be sure, can you verify that the you have full mailbox rights on the mailbox . Also, give your account the "Recieve as " rights as well. thanks ThiyaguThiyagu | MCTS/MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE 2003[Messaging] | http://www.myExchangeWorld.com.
