I am new to working with the exchange tools, do the export
differently?

Get-mailbox | ft Name, MaxSendSize, MaxReceiveSize | Export-Csv -
NoTypeInformation -Path c:\scripts\sendsize.csv

Gives me this:

ClassId2e4f51ef21dd47e99d3c952918aff9cd pageHeaderEntry
pageFooterEntry autosizeInfo shapeInfo groupingEntry
033ecb2bc07a4d43b5ef94ed5a35d280
Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.TableHeaderInfo
9e210fe47d09416682b841769c78b8a3
27c87ef9bbda4f709f6b4002fa4af63c

instead of what I see on the screen

MaxSendSize MaxReceiveSize

What am I seeing?

Hello Jsimpson,

All format-* cmdlets are designed to convert objects to text for console
display. Generally, don't use them in a middle of a pipline command.
Instead use select-object to include just the properties you want and pipe
them to export csv:

Get-mailbox | select-object Name, MaxSendSize, MaxReceiveSize | Export-Csv
-NoTypeInformation -Path c:\scripts\sendsize.csv
