Answered Export Mailboxes with Online Archive in Exchange 2010

    I currently have a script that will export mailboxes of terminated users from Exchange 2010 to PST which includes their Contacts and Calendar.  This is the code I am using.

    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName.pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"


    However now I need to modify my script to check if the mailbox has Online Archiving enabled.  If it does have Online Archiving enabled I need to export that too with the PST name of FirstName.LastName(Archive).pst.

    I know I need to use these 2 lines of code however I can't seem to figure out how to determine if the mailbox has online archiving enabled.

    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName.pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"

    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -IsArchive -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName(Archive).pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"

    Any help on how I can determine if the mailbox has Online Archiving and if it does to export the Online Archive mailbox as well?

    If you use Get-Mailbox you can get the ArchiveStatus, something like this:

    if ((Get-Mailbox FirstName.LastName).ArchiveStatus -ne "None") { New-MailboxExportRequest ..... }

    When I go to test with just (Get-Mailbox FirstName.LastName).ArchiveStatus I keep getting the response of None.  Doesn't matter if the account has online archiving enabled or not.

    It seems that I've misunderstood the purpose of ArchiveStatus, apparently it's not used for whether Archiving is enabled or disabled. Perhaps it's used for Warning/Error status?

    However you can use .ArchiveDatabase or .ArchiveName and check if it's -ne ""

    Or you can use the .ArchiveGUID and check if its -ne [guid]::empty

    I figured it out.  I am posting my code in case anyone else ever needs it.

    if ((Get-Mailbox FirstName.LastName).ArchiveDatabase -ne "ArchiveDatabase") {
    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName.pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"
    } elseif ((Get-Mailbox FirstName.LastName).ArchiveDatabase -eq "ArchiveDatabase") {
    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName.pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"
    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -IsArchive -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName(Archive).pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"
    }

    Yep, of cause you will need to adjust the Archive Database name accordingly, will it always be "ArchiveDatabase" in your environment? if not, consider using one of the possibilities I listed in the above post. .ArchiveDatabase -eq "" and a simple Else without statement would work just as well.

    Heh I made some modifications and used your ArchiveGUID idea.  The issue is when I export the mailboxes right now it is only exporting contacts and calendars.  I thought the -IncludeFolders meant that it would do the mailboxs and those folders not just those 2 items.  When I don't use the -IncludeFolders it just exports the emails but not contacts or calendar.  Here is my code.

    if ((Get-Mailbox FirstName.LastName).ArchiveGUID -eq [guid]::empty) {
    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName.pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"
    } elseif ((Get-Mailbox FirstName.LastName).ArchiveGUID -ne "[guid]::empty") {
    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName.pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"
    New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox FirstName.LastName -IsArchive -FilePath \\Server\ArchivedMailboxes\FirstName.LastName-Archive.pst -IncludeFolders "#Calendar#", "#Contacts#"
    }
