  1. This wasn’t the cased in my environment. Luckily, restarting DAG nodes helped.

    I use: Win 2008 R2 w/ Exchange 2010 SP3 RU2 (DAG)

  2. Thank you for sharing your solution to this!!! I was scratching my head on this one and worried about my mail store since I had never seen a MailboxExportRequest fail before. I had this exact issue…I had disabled all protocols on a user’s mailbox, something I’d never bothered with before, and sure enough re-enabling MAPI fixed it.

  3. New-MailboxExportRequest : Couldn’t connect to the source mailbox error only for few mailboxes

    I exported 700+ mailboxes from same exchange server and stuck with few mailboxes giving me same error.

    group of mailboxes which are giving me same error have nothing in common, they don’t belong to same OU.

    checked mailbox features properties as well. MAPI is enabled.

    mailboxes which are giving me error exist in exchange, no spelling mistake

    I am not understanding when same command in same server worked for 100’s of mailboxes why it doesn’t work for few mailboxes?

  4. Also check the MAPIBlockOutlookNonCachedMode setting. If this is set to True, the export will fail with the same “Couldn’t connect to the source mailbox” error.

    In Exchange Shell:
    Set-CASMailbox -MAPIBlockOutlookNonCachedMode $false

  5. I really do believe each of the ideas you may have offered on your own post.
    These are very convincing and can definitely work.
    Still, the posts are too short for starters. Might just you please prolong them a
    little bit from subsequent time? Many thanks for the post.

  6. i checked, and for my users MAPI is enabled on checking Exchange console
    also tried CASMailbox -MAPIBlockOutlookNonCachedMode $false. But my export is still failing
    Any ideas?
