How I exported Exchange 2007 mailboxes to pst files

First off you will need a Windows server or client running 32-bit OS.

The next thing is you need is Exchange Management tools. (link)

Note that I already had powershell installed, so I’m not sure if you need it before Exchange management tools..Or if the installer will warn you.

Then you will need to install Outlook 2003 or 2007 locally. I went with 2007..

Now for the export. Start up the Exchange management shell and use the following command: Export-Mailbox –Identity “mailboxUser” -PSTFolderPath “pathToSavePST”

I got an error. It turned out that my admin account did not have the right permission on the mailboxes.

I fixes this with the following command:

Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -User “YourUserName” -AccessRights FullAccess

That’s it.

Installing the prerequisites for Exchange 2007 can be a hassle! The other day I found this great guide from Pat Richard on petri.co.il. The guide describes how to install everything you need in a snap!

Very cool!

In a world of virtualization, raid systems and backing up restoring a crashed exchange server is a piece of cake, rigth?
As we all know, sometimes the unexpected happens and when it hits you Recovery for Exchange server 4 from officerecovery.com actually comes in handy. The software processes the EDB file from your crashed server and restores everything in a user based folder structure with manageable sized PST files.

Also, the license is only at the cost for 1 Microsoft 2003 license.
