And damnit..
New-MailboxExportRequest : The term 'New-MailboxExportRequest' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.Once you add the role to the user and open the console again then it will be fine.
And exit the current powershell windows and reopen.
So either all the previous Exchange servers I have done this on already had this role by default, or someone added it.

Yes, you are correct in the assessment.

Exchange 2010 I needed to assign the Import/Export role to my user before I could export a mailbox.
-
Were you able to export the mailboxes?

Yes, once I added that role to the domain admin account, it worked perfectly.

As a conclusion to this post, I did not find a better method than my current PowerShell script.

Out of curiosity, why are you exporting a mailbox before deletion?
Deletion of ex-employee email is something I always struggle with (and have had many discussion here on), so was just wondering...

Because it makes it no longer an IT issue.
Terminated employees mailboxes are exported and dropped onto a location that the client access or delete. No longer my problem.

Depending on where you drop it, still a part of the backup, so....

but the mailbox is not an issue.
at that point it is just user data. -
I still think is more of an IT issue.
If you work at a smaller company, and the boss doesn't think to ask you what to do. You go to him and say what?
Should we delete it? Should we keep it.

Nope. When someone is terminated, I ask how long to keep it active, before archived. I don't accept "a while" as an answer. I force a date to be chosen. I also tell them if they want the email to continue to come in after that date, it can be set as an alias to another user.
But it will stop being an active account.

This creates the same sort of issue where new new sales guy is getting e-mails from the old sales person's ex-boyfriend.
I think the easy answer is just delete the account, but it seems like a lot of places don't do it that way.

That is not your problem. Stop making it your problem.

You are just too young to work in the enterprise. In a lot of environments, this is the only way to talk to people at home still, if you are in the office.
