Message tracking in Exchange 2010 SP1
Hi We are running Exchange 2007 SP3 at the moment for our users. We need to carry out message tracking for troubleshooting sometimes, so use the Get-MessageTrackingLog command (e.g. Get-transportserver | Get-messagetrackinglog -sender XXX -recipient XXX etc). This has worked fine for us in 2007. I have an admin machine running the Exchange 2007 EMT for this and other tasks (creating mailboxes etc). We've built out a test Exchange 2010 SP1 Server and moved IT mailboxes across to it. I've sent a few test messages to Hotmail and the Get-messagetrackinglog command from my admin machine still seems to work fine. But Ive just read that for 2010, we should be using Search-MessageTrackingReport to get the Message Tracking ID, then Get-MessageTrackingReport for the report itself. Can anyone confirm if our old method of Get-MessageTrackingLog is now deprecated? Should we not be using this once we move to 2010 SP1?

“Get-MessageTrackingReport” is still there with exchange 2010, it returns the data for a specific message tracking report but this requires you to specify the ID for the message tracking report you want to view so first you need to use Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to find the message tracking report ID for a specific message. Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to find the unique message tracking report based on the search criteria provided. You can then pass this message tracking report ID to the Get-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to get full message tracking information.

Can anyone confirm if our old method of Get-MessageTrackingLog is now deprecated? Should we not be using this once we move to 2010 SP1? @Pushkal: What Pancamowants to know is the Get-MessageTrackingLog command in Exchange 2010, not Get-MessageTrackingReport command. @Pancamo: The Get-MessageTrackingLog command is still used to search message information stored in the message tracking log in Exchange 2010. For more, you can refer to the article ‘Get-MessageTrackingLog’. Hope this helps. ThanksSophia Xu

What I meant is "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is still there .......but to return the data for a specific message tracking report use the Get-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet . Use Get-MessageTrackingLog to search message information stored in the message tracking log.... I thought, I shared two diff article about -MessageTrackingLog & MessageTrackingReport but for some reason above two articles(diff URLs/IDs) resolving to same MessageTrackingReport ..... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997573.aspx Thanks for pointing out Sophia...

Thanks all, so we can still keep using our existing commands (Get-transportserver | Get-messagetrackinglog -sender XXX -recipient XXX), there is no need to update them?

Hi, The existing commands like the following command are good and you don’t need to update them: Get-transportserver | Get-messagetrackinglog -sender XXX -recipient XXX ThanksSophia Xu
