We are looking to schedule export-mailbox for all users on a regular basis in order to have an easily available restore capability for users mail, on top of daily database backups from a 3rd party application using this command:

get-mailbox -server exchangemail -resultsize unlimited | export-mailbox -pstfolderpath Z:\ -baditemlimit 1000 -maxthreads 15 -confirm:$false

This is saved in a .ps1 file and then run appropriately from a scheduled task using the exchange powershell cmdlet. If you log onto this server and manually run the scheduled task it runs fine, takes a long time, but it works.

If I log into the server with the service account that has exchange server admin rights to exchangemail and run it manually it also runs fine, but if I try to let the service run as a scheduled task when no one is logged in as this service account, it fails with "Error occurred in the step: Approving object. An unknown error has occurred., error code: -2147221219

I know this is the error you get when the account doesn't have the proper rights to exchange, but this doesn't make sense because it can run interactively?

I've been having this same error code, but for me it may relate slightly differently. For me, it was because the OU the source user object was in had permission inheritance blocked, which wasn't allowing relevant exchange groups to apply permissions to the AD user object.

If you take into account my issue was AD Permissions related, perhaps the same applies for you.

cmd.exe allows only interactive users to execute it by default, so check if the same applies to the powershell interpreter.

Short of that, maybe try setting the ExecutionPolicy to allow all scripts to run - use Get-ExecutionPolicy and Set-ExecutionPolicy.

Hope this helps - good luck
