Hello, Wehave recently installed Exchange 2007 SP1 in our setup. I have disabled one user's mailbox. I need to export his emails to pst file. When I run export-mailbox command from the shell I get the below mentioned error: [PS] C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.VITEOS>Export-Mailbox -Identity snkumar@viteos.com -PSTFolderPath d:\pst\snkumar.pst Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Could not find Active Directory site to which this server belongs.At line:1 char:1+ E <<<< xport-Mailbox -Identity snkumar@viteos.com -PSTFolderPath d:\pst\snkumar.pst Please let me know how to proceed for the same. Thanks

Hi Amit,- Export-Mailbox queries ADfirst to find out an active user association with the mailbox which you want to export.- Create a test user and attach this mailbox with it temporary user, Export-Mailbox cmdlet to export mailbox to PST, disable mailbox again and delete the test user.How to Export Mailbox Datahttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964.aspxAmit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

I tried creating a test account and had linked the mailbox with this id. When I run the command again I get the following error: You are running on a 64-bit computer. To export to or import from a .pst file, you must be running a 32-bit computer that has Outlook 2003 SP2 or later instal led. At line:1 char:1 + e <<<< xport-mailbox -identity testuser@viteos.com -pstfolderpath d:\pst\snku mar.pst Please help.
