Exchange 2007 - How to use export-mailbox function?

Question

I am trying to use the Export-Mailbox cmdlet to export a mailbox to PST file but i get an error that i'm running on a 64bit machine and must use a 32 bit etc etc..

I have a Windows 7 Pro 32bit PC joined to the domain with the exchange server, and outlook 32bit installed. When i try to install Exchange 2007 32bit management console only, i'm told that i can't install the managemnet tools on a Windows 7 PC.

Can someone please advise if this is correct setup to be able to run the export-mailbox function to dump the mailboxes into PST files.

Thank you

Generally, you'll get better performance exporting the mailboxes locally on the server and you won't have to deal with the client issues. Just food for thought.
