Get-MailboxExportRequest status not updated, but request completed

Question

Recently I upgraded from Exchange 2013 to exchange 2019 and now my script that exports mailboxes does not work properly

I found the following problem:

get-MailboxExportRequest is updated very slowly ( 1 hour to one day) ... The status shows that export is queued, but the export is already finished, and the pst file is without errors. ( My database configuration is DAG with two servers on different sites)

Get-MailBoxExportRequest:

If I check the status with get-MailboExportRequeStstatistic everything is OK:

Answer 1

Hi @ilianko ,
Does exporting all mailboxes have this issue?
"PST file is without errors" means that you can import the .pst file to mailbox and get the complete mailbox data?
Please try to following steps:
1.Please try to restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service.
2.Please try to run the following command to view the health and status information about mailbox database copies.

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus  

3.Please run the following commands to remove all mailbox export request then create an export request to export only one mailbox, then check the status again. If the status is normal, please check whether the script you are using supports Exchange 2019.

Get-MailboxExportRequest -Status Completed | Remove-MailboxExportRequest  
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox <> -FilePath <>  

In addition, according to my test to export the mailboxes in Exchange 2019 and running the " Get-MailBoxExportRequest" and " Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics" command lines, the results obtained are normal.

I can confirm that this is a problem with Exchange 2019 on premise too.

Randomly a MailboxExportRequest is shown as "Queued" while it's already writing data or is even finished.
Most times the correct status "InProgress" and "Complete" can be retrieved, but sometimes it's stuck with "Queued" while it is NOT queueing. There is nothing in the posts above that can help resolve the situation. The problem is the server not reporting a correct status with get-MailboxExportRequest
