You would need to do two things.

1. $TargetUserName would need to request all mailboxes. ie. $TargetUserName = Get-Server | Get-Mailbox
2. You would need to have a ForEach looping through each mailbox and exporting one for each user in the $TargetUserName variable

Hi there, what will this script look like if I would export all the mailboxes to .pst automatically? Say you have 500 mailboxes and need to automatically export and create folders and pst’s?

Thanks

Ah of course, I did know that the shell needs to be 32-bit but didn’t put that in my original post. Updated.

I ran the shell as administrator and the problem did not resolve.
However, another error message appeared.
I had to install the admin tools for exchange on my desktop because this command has to run on 32-bit computer.
And now it runs ok.

Thanks for the help.

So it looks like the account your running the EMS shell from doesn’t have permissions to write to that directory. You need to run the shell as a user who has Exchange Admin group membership, and an account that has access to that logs directory?

In the shell you are running EMS from, are you able to create a text file?

I just create the directory and another error appeared:
“Cannot open the log file ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Logging\MigrationLogs\export-Mailbox20100309-090258-6492356.log’.”
I think this command seems to create a log file and open it but, when I come to the folder, the file is not there.

Does it work if you create the directory?

When running the script, the prompt shows the following error:”The log file directory ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Logging\MigrationLogs’ does not exist.”

Is there a solution for this?

Good stuff. It’s likely your .NET runtime version is old. Glad you’ve got it working though
