I'm horribly failing at exporting Exchnange Mailboxes
to PST files. Perhaps You are able
to help me?
The System
I'm running some legacy machines here. The one I'm currently working on (CurrentDC) is a Windows 2008 R2 Server with Exchange 2010 on it. Exchange seems
to be poorly patched:
[PS] C:\>get-exchangeserver

The Problem
After some trouble I managed
to get the Export-Mailbox command run:
[PS] C:\>Export-Mailbox -Identity marco -PSTFolderPath C:\ExchangeExport
According
to several Websites that seems
to be the right command
to export the mailbox of the user "marco"
to "C:\ExchangeExport".
But after running the command an error occurs (I'm sorry, it is the german version of Windows 2008 - but if you translate Fehler with error and Vorgang with process you should be prepared enough
to go ;))
[PS] C:\Export-Mailbox -Identity marco -PSTFolderPath C:\ExchangeExport

What I have done
Well, I must say I'm quite clueless. I was wondering why MailboxSize is 0 - so I checked it:
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxStatistics marco | ft DisplayName, TotalItemSize, ItemCount
DisplayName TotalItemSize ItemCount
----------- ------------- ---------
Marco S 473 MB (496,011,572 bytes) 4173
Well, this i not 0 bytes - but I don't know what
to do with this information.
Also I had a look at the ReportFile mentioned in the output:

Do you have any clue?
<UPDATE> Regarding
to the answer from downthepub I tried
to use UNC paths - no change. Also I tried installing the management tools
to a client and run the scripts from there - no way, too. </UPDATE>
Thanks a lot for reading this mess!
