Hi,

To create a PST from a mailbox, you can do:

1.- Configure this mail account in your Outlook, and the export it to a PST.

2.- Install Outlook in you Exchange Server and by Powershell, create an export to the PST ( Export-Mailbox -Identity mailbox -PstFolderPath c:\pst\pstname.pst).

See you

1.is it necessary to install outlook on exchange.i mean will it work if i can export then view on a pc where outlook is installed.
2.when i will export user mail box to pst,will the contents of the mailbox will get deleted or it will have no effect on mailbox.

Hi eagleye2012,

For detail step by step instruction on how to export Exchange mailboxes into .pst file, you may visit here : http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/exporting-importing-mailboxes-exchange-server-2010.html

There are also some third party EDB to PST Converter applications which allow the users to export online Exchange mailboxes into individual .pst files i.e. there is no need to take Exchange server down. These tools are designed with a rich and easy to use graphical user interface so that a novice user can easily operate it. One such tool is Stellar Phoenix EDB to PST Converter.
