While trying to Export a user mailboxes to pst file i am getting an error message. Also it fails with the Error “Error was found for username (UserNameEmailAddress) because: Error occurred in the step: Approving object. An unknown error has occurred., error code: -2147221219”.

***Updated***

***Must have Outlook 2010 64bit installed on the server.

It looks the work around for this was to logon to the exchange server as  administrator, launch the windows power shell modules as Administrator,

Then type Export-Mailbox –Identity EmailAlias@domainname  –PSTFolderPath C:\EmailAlias.pst


Goodbye PFDAVAdmin and hello Exfolders. I recently used this tool to recover a public folder that was deleted by an end user.

You can download the tool here:

ExFolders must be run from an Exchange 2010 server – it cannot be run from a workstation as PFDAVAdmin could.

It can connect to Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007, but not older versions.

Remove Item-Level Permissions is gone, because there are no item-level permissions in Exchange 2007 or 2010.
DACL fix functionality is gone.

There are also a few new features:

Folder property imports are now supported. You were able to do folder property exports with PFDAVAdmin, but not imports.

Item property exports are supported – that is, you can export a set of properties from all items in a folder. This feature request has come up again and again for troubleshooting purposes. Item property imports are not supported.

ExFolders supports the new free/busy permissions that were introduced in Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007.

You can now connect to multiple mailbox stores at the same time, so you can run a batch operation against several mailbox stores or all mailboxes in the org if you need to.

So after we had Exchange 2010 installed, and verifying all activeSync settings were correct. I kept getting cannot connect to server when setting up ActiveSync on my iPhone…This is was solved the issue…

This issue occurs if the AD user object of the Exchange 2010 user doesn’t have “Allow inheritable permissions from the parent to propagate to this object and all child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here.”

Once this setting is checked, Exchange ActiveSync works again.

So I ran into a situation today where my  exchange server suddenly had 100% CPU for hours. Restarted the information store providing temporary relief but the issue came back. After reviewing logs and the event viewer  I was ready to stop the information store and check the intregity of the information stores. Thankfully we found this article from Microsoft and it solved the issue, atleast it has been hours and the issue has not returned. Please note, if you have a blackberry server you will want to copy over certain  .dll files from the updated bin directory of the exchange server. Hope this saves someone some time.

Just an update the next day my issue returned…After opening a support ticket with Microsoft it looks like it may have been due to some issues in one of the information stores. After running the ISINTEG -s (servername) -fix -test -alltests  utility on that store ans now i have to wait and see if that solved my problem.
