This topic provides information about how to troubleshoot an error message that may occur when you run the following Export-Mailbox cmdlet:

export-mailbox -identity <MailboxIdParameter> -pstfolderpath <Path_Of_PST_File>

This error may occur if the current logon account does not have full access permission to the source mailbox that you want to export.

To resolve this issue, you must grant the account you use the following permissions:

  • Exchange Server Administrator role for the source server and the target server

  • Local Administrators group for the source server and the target server

  • Full access to the source mailbox and the target mailbox

To correct this error

  1. Use the Exchange Management Console to add the user account to the Exchange Server administrator role on the source server and the target server.

  2. Add the user account to the Local Administrators group on the source server and on the target server.

  3. Use the Add-MailboxPermission cmdlet in the Exchange Management Console to grant full access to the mailbox on the source server and the target server.
