How can I delete an email message from multiple email accounts (mailboxes)
Hi,Hoping someone can help me with this. One of our users sent out an email to 3 distribution groups. The email that was sent needs to be deleted from the accounts it was sent to. We have re-called the message but there are a significant number of users that already read the email.Here is our architecture:Exchange Server 2007 Standard EditionOutlook 2007Is there a way I can delete the email from all accounts it was sent to ? Does Exchange have an administration option to do this, or is there a utility program I can use ?Regards,Jason

You can use the export-mailbox cmdlet using the DeleteContent parameter. This should allow you to delete the message from the mailbox without exporting it to another mailbox, run it for each of the distribution groups the message was sent to: Get-DistributionGroupMember <groupname> | Get-Mailbox | Export-Mailbox -SubjectKeywords "Subject of bad email" -DeleteContent For reference: How to Export Mailbox Data http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964(EXCHG.80).aspx
