I have just been asked to perform an e-discovery on an Exchange Server 2007 using the native tools. I have created a powershell script as follows: Get-User ITSupport | export-mailbox -AllContentkeywords "Name", "name", "Michael R. Freed" -enddate "03/15/2011" -SenderKeywords "email@bellsouth.net","email@msn.com","email ID", "email ID" -RecipientKeywords "email@bellsouth.net","email@msn.com","email ID", "email ID" -targetmailbox mailboxID -targetfolder TempFolder -Baditemlimit 1000 No matter what user ID I put in the following error is generated for all emails and folders: [4/6/2011 4:51:13 PM] [0] [userName] The following bad item was found when moving messages: <badItem errorCode='0x80004005' flags='0x00000000'> <folder id='000000008C1791AFF6142542B490A4E8F112F07101001C613143C1B91941B2C90FDFAD3973070072ECC2F83C0000'>Deleted Items</folder> <sender></sender> <recipient></recipient> <subject></subject> <size></size> <dateSent></dateSent> <dateReceived></dateReceived> <sourceKey></sourceKey> </badItem> I created a new user with Exchange Admin permissions and I have granted FullAccess to all mailboxes to this user. I am at a lose as to what is going wrong. If this only happened on a select few messages or folders I would under stand, but on all messages, all folder, all mailboxes, I think either I have something wrong in the scripts of there is a security problem. Your help will be greatly appreciated Hank Leander, SBSCYour help and assistance is greatly appreciated, Hank Leander, SBSC

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 You cannot export data from a public folder database. To grant full access to a mailbox, use the Add-MailboxPermission cmdlet and specify FullAccess for the AccessRights i think duplicate items in the mailbox try to add the switch -allowduplicates Thanks Joseph Pradeep

Hi Joseph, I am actually sending the then export to another client folder in the Exchange Sever. I have applied the Add-MailboxPermissions FullAccess to all the mailboxes and am not trying to export anything form the Public Folders. I tried adding the -AllowDuplicates but it ended with the same resultYour help and assistance is greatly appreciated, Hank Leander, SBSC

Hi Hank, About the permission to run the cmdlet Export-Mailbox: Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server Full access to the source and target mailboxex I would suggest you to run a simple cmdlet against a test mailbox to see whether it works first, e.g. Export-Mailbox -Identity test@contoso.com -TargetMailbox ExportMailbox -TargetFolder MyData More information: Export-Mailbox http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998579(EXCHG.80).aspx Frank Wang TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi Hank, About the error "This mailbox exceeded the maximum number of corrupted items specified for this move mailbox operation, error code: -1056749110", seems like there are many corrupted items in the mailbox. Please try to use -Baditemlimit. How about exporting items from a new test mailbox?

Hi Frank, This Happens on all accounts. When adding the -BadItemLimit Switch only the Directory Tree fills in. If I do a seach using the -Identities Outlook mailbox, I can find and read all the emails that I am searching for. Would you think running a repair/defrag of the Eschange database will do any good?Your help and assistance is greatly appreciated, Hank Leander, SBSC

Hi Hank, You can try to do it. And please run the Isinteg after defraging.
