Exchange 2010 SP1 - Export to PST, Remove Mailbox

Question

I'm looking for a PowerShell script that will allow me to use Exchange 2010 SP1 to export a mailbox to PST and then when finished, delete the user and mailbox. I typically do this process manually about 6 months after an employee leaves the company (allowing
for live access to the mailbox and message forwarding to their supervisor).
Ideally, the script would take input for a mailbox ID, and then export the file to a file of the mailbox name (Prompt: jdoe -> New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox jdoe -FilePath \\server\path\jdoe.pst). After the export is complete, it would schedule the
mailbox for complete removal and remove the completed mailbox export request. The prompt and export process should be simple enough, but I suspect the difficulty will come with monitoring for the completed request before acting on the removal.
Thanks for any help provided! :)

Answer 1

Thanks for the guidance!
I think I was able to come up with something that will do the trick nicely:
$Name = Read-Host "Please enter a mailbox to archive"
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name -FilePath \\Exchange\C$\ExchangeExports\$Name.pst
while ((Get-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name | Where {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"}))
sleep 60
Get-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name | Remove-MailboxExportRequest -Confirm:$false
Remove-Mailbox -Identity $Name -Confirm:$false
Hopefully it may help others.
