Customer requested to export the 365 mailbox into PST.
They use exchange hybrid - exchange server 2016 & exchange online.

The previous PST export procedure they used were initiated from on-premises exchange.

I know the following options are possible for 365:

But the customer preferers the old ways...

Is it possible to export the "Office 365" mailbox directly from on-premises exchange?
Maybee via linking the Get-RemoteMailbox to New-MailboxExportRequest in such a way, that the output would be a PST.
Probably not, but asking anyway...

Regards,

    @Andrej Zafošnik (CLD)

    Unfortunately, "New-MailboxExportRequest" doesn't work for Exchange Online mailboxes and we cannot export O365 mailbox items directly at present. If needed, we can vote or post the requirement to O365 UserVoice. Your ideas will be noticed there.
    There is a similar feedback, you can vote here: Export mailbox in Exchange Online to pst using PowerShell or other method.

    thanks for both answers.

    finaly we offered the customer the "Content Search" procedure via https://compliance.microsoft.com/contentsearch

    and added the responsible person to

    • Compliance Administrator
    • eDiscovery Administrator

    finally they successfully followed through the procedure and exported the mailbox

    thanks for quick answers

    would accept both previous answers, but can select only one

    regards
    Andrej
