Is there an easy way to backup a single Exchange Mailbox?

[SunnyD]

I'm talking like a utility or tool to actually create a full copy of an exchange mailbox.

Currently, what I'm doing is locally creating a profile in Outlook, logging in to a given mailbox, and doing a full PST export.

Is there any way to do this without having to go into Outlook?

Archiving their mailbox before deleting it. However I am not an exchange server admin, only an AD admin, so I don't have access to the exchange box or it's backups.

If you're an AD admin, can't you give yourself Exchange rights?

so send them TO the exchange admin...isn't that what they are paid for?

One would think. However if I were able to do this, I would more than likely be escorted out the door shortly thereafter for various security reasons.
