Exchange 2013 – Archiving Disabled Users

/ Hugo Gungormez

Here is an Exchange Shell script to archive all users within an organisational unit (Disabled Users) to a network path.

Prerequisite is to grant built-in security group Exchange Trusted Subsystem with modify access to network path.

$mailboxes =  Get-mailbox –OrganizationalUnit “DOMAIN.LOCAL/CompanyName/Disabled Users” 
foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes) 
{ 
    $name = $mailbox.Name
    if(!(Test-Path "\\[FILESERVER]\Archive$\$name\")) { MD "\\[FILESERVER]\Archive$\$name\PST\"}
    New-mailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $mailbox -FilePath "\\[FILESERVER]\Archive$\$name\PST\$name.pst"
}
