'New-MailboxExportRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

When attempting to export a mailbox to pst, if you are faced with an error in Powershell with

“The Term 'New-MailboxExportRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program” this indicates that you have not been provisioned with the role."

You need to run the New-ManagementRoleAssignment cmdlet to assign the role to be able to import and export

New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role “Mailbox Import Export” –User <domain>\<username>

eg:
New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role “Mailbox Import Export” –User mydomain\Tyger

1: Assign the permission

New-managementroleassignment –role “mailbox import export” –user <Domain>\<your adm account> 
(eg)
New-managementroleassignment –role “mailbox import export” –user mydomain\Tyger

 

2: Then you will be able to run the export cmdlet (save to local path in this cmdlet)
 

New-MailboxExportRequest <username> -Filepath \\<server>\location\<filename>.pst
(eg)
New-mailboxEportRequest jsmith -Filepath \\exchange1\pst_files\jsmith.pst



3: Follow the .pst export progress


Get-MailboxExportRequest | Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics


4: When the export reaches 100%, you will need to remove the pst move request from the queue.

Get-MailboxExportRequest | Remove-MailboxExportRequest

If you are running multiple moves and would like to remove all the completed requests:

Get-MailboxExportRequest | ? {$_.status -eq 'complete'} | Remove-
MailboxExportRequest

  1. I would like to say that missed updates or insufficient permission can put a halt to complex tasks. We should make sure Exchange is updated and you have the appropriate permissions to execute the commands you’re trying to execute. For all other EDB problems, you can use any third party tool EDB to PST Converter.
