We are running Exchange 2010, we need to delete a particular message that resides on multiple mailboxes. What options do we have and what is the fastest way of doing so. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it has some politics behind it but as an admin, get your managers permissions and log into the account and delete the message. Or grant someone else permissions to do this with full mailbox access through ADUC. You can do this by adding their outlook profile to yours. Do you know how to add another user to your profile or someone elses.

You can use the Search-Mailbox command with the -DeleteContent parameter: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298173.aspxTim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Lync 2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

So basically on this topic you have two options: Logging onto each mailbox or using a command line on each mailbox. I was looking to do multiple mailboxes from one powershell command line.

If you want to use the command to search across multiple mailboxes, have you tried: Get-Mailbox | Search-Mailbox? Or some variation of the Get-Mailbox command to return the exact mailboxes that you want to search (like by server, database, group, etc).
