Export All Mailboxes to pst

Question

Hello All,

I have 2 exchange servers 2019 (DAG) and i want to export all mailboxes to pst, i run the following commands:

$AllMailboxes = Get-Mailbox

foreach ($Mailbox in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Mailbox -FilePath "\<server FQDN>\<shared folder name>\$($Mailbox.Alias).pst" }

but did not work

I did try it on single exchange server and it worked. How can i export all mailboxes.

Thank you

Hi,

I assume that $mailbox value is null and hence the command New-MailboxExportRequest is failing. Please try the below commands and see if that works,

$Export = Get-Mailbox
$Export|%{$|New-MailboxExportRequest -FilePath “\servername\sharedfoldername\$($.name).pst”}
