Export-Mailbox as a scheduled task?
My organization is in the process of migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. We've been using the Exmerge utility to create an additional pst backup of all of the mailbox stores in our organization. I have figured out the equivilent command shell task to run in order to accomplish this, but I'm wondering if there is a way to schedule this as a task to auto run, because i'm affraid i may have to run it manually.In addition to that question, once you enter the entire command you want to execute when it gets to the first mailbox it asks you are you sure... blah blah... and you have to choose either Yes for the one mailbox or "A" for All. Is there a way in the command to have this automatically assume the "A" for all??? here's the command i'm running right now:Get-Mailbox Database"<servername\database name>"| Export-Mailbox PSTFolderPath <folder path for export>here's the exact prompt you get:ConfirmAre you sure you want to perform this action?Exporting mailbox content from the mailbox 'Paulina Gonzales' into .pst file'z:\gemex07\pgonzales.pst'. This operation may take a long time to complete.[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help(default is "Y"):So as i mentioned above, is there a way to make it assume the A and just do it?And can i schedule this?Robert Farmer

Use...
Get-Mailbox Database"<servername\database name>"| Export-Mailbox PSTFolderPath <folder path for export> -Confirm $false
OR
Get-Mailbox Database"<servername\database name>"| Export-Mailbox PSTFolderPath <folder path for export> -Confirm:$false
to run without confirmation...
