export SBS 2008 mailboxes to pst files

You can't do that directly in SBS 2008.

You have to install exchange 2007 w\sp1 mgmt tools in a x32 bit windows.

in this case, use a windows 2003 member server,

1. download exchange 2007 w sp1 from MS site, x86 is a demo version
2. install powershell
3. install .net 2
4. install .net 2 updates
5. install exchange 2007 sp1, choose custom install, select exchange management tools

upon installation, autoupdate detected rollup 9 is availabe for install
