SUMMARY
=======

When you use the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator Export function from
the command line, if the Export is missing, only mailboxes will be exported
regardless of the other settings.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The sample command line is:

  Admin /e <Export file> /d directory server name /o <options
  file>

Actual Example:

  Admin /e Output.csv /d Myserver /o Export.ini

Example of Export.ini. This will export only custom recipients:

  [Export]
  Basepoint=/o=Microsoft/ou=wonderland/cn=Recipients
  Homeserver=Myserver
  ExportObject=Remote

when you remove the [Export], only mailboxes are exported. This will export only
mailboxes:

  Basepoint=/o=Microsoft/ou=wonderland/cn=Recipients
  Homeserver=Myserver
  ExportObject=Remote
