Powershell – Exchange 2010 Export Mailbox

exchange-2010exportpowershell

I'm trying to export a mailbox to PST, and I'm getting the following output:

Does anyone have any ideas what's going wrong here? I've installed Outlook 2010 x64 on a mailbox server, and I'm running this command from the exchange management console.

Well, I found this. It may be an option. Try running the powershell as administrator then running the command. This is apparently a known issue
