Windows Server How ToYour Windows Server Knowledge Base

In this article you`ll learn how to export Exchange 2007 mailbox to PST file using power shell on your Windows XP or Windows server 2003 machines.

For that task you must have power shell and Outlook 2003 with SP2 or Outlook 2007 installed.

In this example we need to export mailbox for user TestUser@mydomain.com to local folder D:\PST

Open power shell and type:

Export-Mailbox -Identity TestUser@mydomain.com -PSTFolderPath D:\PST\TestUser.pst

This example will show how to grant full access rights to specific mailbox using power shell on Windows server 2003 with Exchange 2007 installed.

You want user Admin to have full access over mailbox named TestUser.

Open Power Shell extention for exchange and type:

Add-MailboxPermission -Identity TestUser -User Admin -AccessRights FullAccess

To make it work your user (Admin in this example) must be member of Exchange Administrators and Local administrators groups.
