Having to export mailboxes to PST on a customers 2007 Exchange, you cant run the export from Exchange itself because.....
To export data from a .pst file, you must run the Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed:
The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools
Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Outlook 2007

F*** stupid, so now I have to charge more time to build a f*** 32bit vm to just export mailboxes. WTF?

Eh they're running an ancient version of exchange. This is on them for not staying current.

What @coliver said. At least my experience with this was to get someone current.

We are twisting their arm to get on 365.

@texkonc Yeah , Exchange 2007 is that much of a pain. I have just used Windows 7 32 bits machine and do the export with Office Suite (since it needs it) or I use Migrationwiz.

The customer sold a sister company of theirs. Now I have to export the old mailboxes to PST, and Bitlocker it and send it to the new MSP that runs the company they sold. The other MSP put them on 365, but they want it for Archive.

@texkonc Yikes, lota of manual work.

Exercising heroic restraint as I watch my Twitter and Facebook feed explode with "Finally! Our laws are being enforced!" messages.

Right click -> unfollow -> repeat ad nauseum -> problem solved.

My FB feed is never clogged with anything. Just an occasional recipe or funny picture. The key is to unfollow everyone you're related to and everyone you went to school with.

I only use Facebook as a way to schedule game nights and follow some RPG companies that I like. It's a breath of fresh air.

@coliver Mine is all local concerts, recipes, science/space stuff, etc.

I've mostly just given up on it. Now it's mostly a chat client only to me.

I couldn't unsubscribe, because that's often how I got the specific news I was desiring. but when it turned into a shitstorm of non-sense with a valid post every 3-400 posts, I pretty much just cut it off completely.
