Howto Remove a Mailbox Export Request in Exchange 2010

Completed mailbox export requests aren't cleared automatically. You can remove fully or partially completed mailbox export requests by using the Remove-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet.

If you remove a partially completed mailbox export request, content already exported isn't removed from the .pst file. If you want to start a new mailbox export request to the same file and start with an empty .pst file, you must rename or delete the previous .pst file.

You can't use the Exchange Management Console (EMC) to remove an export request. You must use the Shell.

 

Use the Shell to remove a mailbox export request


This example removes the mailbox export request office\MailboxExport.

Remove-MailboxExportRequest -Identity "office\MailboxExport"

Use the Shell to remove multiple mailbox export requests




This example removes all mailbox export requests that have a status of Completed.

Get-MailboxExportRequest -Status Completed | Remove-MailboxExportRequest
