Export-Mailbox results in "Unknown Error" on E2K7 SP2
Export-Mailbox -Identity user@domain.com -PSTFolderPath "e:\pstfiles" -Confirm: $false
results in the following error statement:
Export-Mailbox : Error was found for <user user@domain.com> because: Error occurred in the step: Approving object. An unknown error has occurred., error code: -2147221233
At line:1 char:15
+ Export-Mailbox <<<< -Identity user@domain.com -PSTFolderPath "e:\pstfiles" -Confirm: $falseThe subsequent info dump contains:
StatusCode : -2147221233
StatusMessage : Error occurred in the step: Approving object. An unknown error has occurred.I suspect this is a permissions issue. I subsequently explicitly allowed the Administrator account Full Access to the target mailbox, with the same results.
I'm stumped. Anyone have a clue??
Answers
- I would confirm the account has all the necessary permissions required for export-mailbox. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998579.aspx
Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server
Full access to the source and target mailboxes
I would also use a non-admin level account, and ensure it has SEND AS and RECEIVE AS perms on that mailbox. Then test.- Marked As Answer byXiu Zhang - MSFTMSFT, ModeratorFriday, November 20, 2009 9:27 AM
