This module will gather information from an on-premise Exchange Server running on the target machine.

Two actions are supported:
LIST (default action): List basic information about all Exchange servers and mailboxes hosted on the target.
EXPORT: Export and download a chosen mailbox in the form of a .PST file, with support for an optional filter keyword.

For a list of valid filters, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/filterable-properties-for-the-contentfilter-parameter

The executing user has to be assigned to the "Organization Management" role group for the module to successfully run.
