Exchange Shell command not working

@kelly I know crazier things have been needed, but why would I need to install a module on an Exchange 2016 machine when I am running the cmd in Exchange Powershell?

PowerShell still needs the Exchange2016 module loaded. I know it doesn't make sense being that you're already in "Exchange Powershell".

Powershell does what it can to run lean, and that means letting the user determine which modules to load on start.

Which is hard to believe given how insanely slow and bloated it is!

I seem to slipping on my google-fu as I cannot find the cmdlet to run in "exchange mode"

I must be the only one that don't like the powershell CLI, I'd rather stick to bash any day of the week..

You also need to have export/import permissions granted to your account. They are not granted to anyone by default.

This is what you need.
First assign your user the Mailbox Export Role
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "Mailbox Import Export" -User "<user name or alias>"Then make sure the Exchange Subsystem has access to that shared folder and then run your export:
MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox username -FilePath "\\server\PST FOlder\username.pst"
