Hi Tony,Have you tried something like Get-TransportServer | Get-MessageTrackingLog -MessageSubject "John Smith"?However, from the Message Tracking Logs you can only search the message subject, not the body...Check the configuration of your tracking logs (if it is enabled, how many days you are retaining, etc.). You can do so by running the command Get-TransportServer | FL *track* for example.Please post here the command you are trying to use. We might be able to help.Regards,Nunohttp://LetsExchange.blogspot.com

Hi Tony, You could use cmdlet like below: Get-mailbox | Export-Mailbox AllContentKeywords "thekeysyouwant" TargetMailbox Administrator TargetFolder 'foldername' Then check the result in admins mailbox. Please note you need to use add-mailboxpermission cmdlet and specify fullaccess to grant full access of the source mailbox. This can be done by Get-mailbox | add-mailboxpermission user administrator accessright fullacess Related article for your reference: Exchange Server 2007 Cross Mailbox Search using Export-mailboxhttp://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/12/18/431934.aspx Export-Mailboxhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998579.aspx Add-MailboxPermissionhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124097.aspx Thanks, Elvis
