  2. Right-click on Windows PowerShell and choose Run As Administrator

Exporting Whiteboard Content

The Microsoft Whiteboard cmdlets are often used to facilitate the export of Whiteboard content for users that no longer have access to whiteboard. To accomplish this you must first transfer the whiteboard owner to someone who has access to Whiteboard. Then the user who now owns the whiteboard can sign into the app and export the content.
