Get-MailboxExportRequest

This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

Use the Get-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet to view the detailed status of an ongoing export request that was initiated by using the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet.

This cmdlet is available only in the Mailbox Import Export role, and by default, the role isn't assigned to any role groups. To use this cmdlet, you need to add the Mailbox Import Export role to a role group (for example, to the Organization Management role group). For more information, see Add a role to a role group.

The Database parameter specifies the database in which the user's mailbox or archive resides. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the database. For example:

  • Name
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • GUID

You can't use this parameter with the Identity parameter.

Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-HighPriority

The HighPriority parameter filters the results based on the Priority value that was assigned when the request was created. Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false. Here's how these values filter the results:

  • $true Returns requests that were created with the Priority value High, Higher, Highest or Emergency.
  • $false Returns requests that were created with the Priority value Normal, Low, Lower or Lowest.

The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the export request. By default, export requests are named <alias>\MailboxExportX (where X = 0-9). If you specified a name for the export request when the request was created using the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet, use the following syntax: Alias\Name. Exchange automatically precedes the request with the mailbox's alias.

-Mailbox

The Mailbox parameter filters the results by the source mailbox where the contents are being exported from.

In Exchange 2016 CU7 or later, this parameter is the type MailboxLocationIdParameter, so the easiest value that you can use to identify the mailbox is the Alias value.

In Exchange 2016 CU6 or earlier, this parameter is the type MailboxOrMailUserIdParameter, so you can use any value that uniquely identifies the mailbox. For example:

  • Name
  • Alias
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • Canonical DN
  • Domain\Username
  • Email address
  • GUID
  • LegacyExchangeDN
  • SamAccountName
  • User ID or user principal name (UPN)

The Name parameter specifies that export requests that have the specified name are returned.

Use this parameter to search on the name that you provided when you created the export request.

You can't use this parameter with the Identity parameter.

Type:Unlimited
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

  • AutoSuspended

  • CompletedWithWarning
  • CompletionInProgress
  • Failed
  • InProgress
  • Queued
  • Retrying
  • Suspended
  • Synced

You can't use this parameter with the Identity parameter.
