Simple question. I think. I have an Exchange 2007 SP3 On my Win7 (x86) machine I have Outlook 2010 installed. Do I have to have Outlook 2003 or 2007 installed in order to use export-mailbox? I ask because everytime I go to run that cmdlet on my machine PowerShell crashes; however, it runs fine from a terminal server with Outlook 2003 and the Exchange 2007 Mgmt Tools Thanks

I tend to run on the exchange server EMS most of the time. "To export data from a .pst file, you must run the Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed: The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Outlook 2007 see bellow: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964(EXCHG.80).aspxSukh

Hi, For this issue, I suggest you follow the document given by sukh to check the requirements on your Win7 client. The supported Outlook version in Official Documents is Outlook 2003 SP2 or Outlook 2007, maybe you can install this (on your win7 client)to have a try. I tested in my lab: Exchange Server 2007 (32 bit) installed on Windows Server 2003 (32bit) I install Outlook 2010 (32bit) on the Exchange Server, and I can export the pst file without any issue.

You don't need the outlook client at all to run the export-mailbox cmdlet. Did you upgrade the Exchange management tools to SP3? I thought you did need Outlook for the pst drivers.. Either way, yes I am running EMC SP3
