XADM: Command-Line Export Fails on Custom Recipients

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you are using the command-line export utility and an export options file to export custom recipients, you may get a CSV file that contains only header information, or a CSV file that contains unwanted mailbox information instead of or in addition to the custom recipient information.

Workaround

This problem usually results from over-configuring the export options file. If you want only to export custom recipients from Exchange, then start by using the following format in the export options file: 
   [Export]
   Basepoint=/o=<Org Name>/ou=<Site Name>/cn=Recipients
   Container=<Recipients, or the subcontainer of Recipients that has the
   Custom Recipients>
   ExportObject=Remote <Remote exports Custom Recipients only>

NOTE: note there should be no spaces between the object parameters

Do not put an entry for HomeServer, because this will result in a CSV file that contains only headers and no other information. For more information about this, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 147854, "XADM: Custom Recipients DIR Export Creates Headers-Only CSV".

For more information about command-line export and the export options file, see the online Help (Admin /?) and pages 476-482 in the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator's Guide.
