export-mailbox cmdlet
in [Microsoft Exchange]

From: Cary Shultz on 14 Apr 2010 18:10 Good afternoon! EXCH2007 SP2 | MS Outlook 2007 environment. Have a client for whom I recently 'exmerged' a user's mailbox. I 'exmerged' the entire mailbox and then 'exmerged' just the last 90 days (did this on 04/02/2010). The cmd that I used for the "90-day" process is this: export-mailbox -Identity "Joe.Blow" -StartDate 01/01/2010 -EndDate 04/01/2010 -PSTFolderPath D:\PSTFiles\90Days\jblow.pst The issue is that I see nothing - except the Calendar items. Nothing in the Inbox, in any of the many many sub-folders, Sent Items, Deleted Item....nothing. There are hundreds of Calendar Items.... Naturally, I did this on a Windows 2003 Server which has the "Exchange 2007 SP2 Management Tools" and MS Outlook 2007 installed and I used an account that has access to the Mailbox Store. I - for the same user, at the same time (read: two minutes prior) - exported the entire mailbox (export-mailbox -Identity "Joe.Blow" -PSTFolderPath D:\PSTFiles\jblow.pst) and am able to see everything (Inbox, sub-folders, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Contact, Calendar, et al) just fine when I open up that pst file. What am I missing (besides the e-mail - in that "90 day" export-mailbox process)? Thanks, Cary
From: SG_Dan on 16 Apr 2010 14:28 This sounds like a permissions problem. you will need full access to the mailbox to export. Also have you tried it with out the date range? This can be problematic at times. "Cary Shultz" wrote: > Good afternoon! > > EXCH2007 SP2 | MS Outlook 2007 environment. Have a client for whom I > recently 'exmerged' a user's mailbox.

From: Cary Shultz on 16 Apr 2010 16:01 SG_DAN, Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions: 1) Highly doubt that it is a permissions thing. The account that I used to do this (mailadmin) has all the proper rights at the Mailbox Server level. I specifically did it that way so that if we ever created additional Storage Groups or Mailbox Databases (which - in this case - we can not do....we are dealing with the Standard Version of Exchange 2007) that I would not have to remember to run these AD* cmdlets again. 2) As mentioned, I did the full mailbox export right before I did the "between two dates" export....the full mailbox is 1.33GB and - I checked - there are lots of mails between the two dates specified in the full mailbox export. I have tried the -StartDate -EndDate numerous times...same results. Two colleagues of mine have done this as well....they have the same results as I do. I have done this before successfully - in other environments. I do not know what to tell the client at this point.

Oh my . . . Have you tried this running on a workstation that doesn't have Exchange 2003 Management Tools on it? Mixing Exchange server and Outlook isn't such a good idea what with those two fighting over the right DLL's, and all. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Rich, No no....you misunderstood. The Exchange 2007 Management Tools....not EXCH2003.... On the NASes (Windows 2003 Server R2) at all of our clients that have EXCH2007 I have done the following: *Created a mailbox-enabled user account object (mailadmin) *Provided that account with the proper AD rights - at the Mailbox Server level (as mentioned in a previous post - not at the Storage Group or Mailbox Database level) *Made that account a member of the local Administrators group on the NAS *Ensured that either MS Outlook 2003 SP3 or MS Outlook 2007 SP1 is installed on the NAS *Ensured that the other pre-reqs were installed on the NAS *Ensured that the 32-bit EXCH2007 Management Tools are installed on the NAS *Logged on as mailadmin *Configured MS Outlook 200x mailadmin profile and opened up MS Outlook Using the Exchange Management Shell I ran the export-Mailbox -Identity "Jane.Doe" -PSTFolderPath "D:\PSTFiles\jdoe.pst" for the full mailbox and then added -StartDate "01/01/2010" -EndDate "04/01/2010" for the 90-day "stuff". And, please excuse my use of the term "ExMerge" in my original post. There are no EXCH2003 servers in any of these environments....pure EXCH2007. I just used exmerge as it is shorter than export-mailbox.....my mistake.
