Using Powershell - how can I run a query based on "user" (or mailbox), "Sent Items", "Date Range" and have the ability to supplement specific recipients?Thanks,

You can do this with Export-Mailbox.Check below article, specially scenario 1 of Legal Discovery... Exchange Server 2007 Cross Mailbox Search using Export-mailbox http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/12/18/431934.aspxAmit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

THanks Amit - I do not need the emails I just want to specifically scan one users mailbox for all sent Items to another mailbox in a specified date range. No keyword search. And output the info to a txt or xls file. Is this possible with Export-Mailbox?

I guess, this is not possible with any tool to query any mailbox folder and export the info such as subject, date, sender, recipients etc.. to a txt/xls file... As an alternative you can use Export-Mailbox cmdlet to export all sent items to PST file for aspecificdate range and review the PST file...

Per my knowledge, theres no method to query one specific folder for different user in the exchange 2007 natively. And, thats why Amit suggest you to use Export-Mailbox, which is a sort of workaround to accomplish what you want. You can also grant appropriate permissions to a user on the mailbox you need to query, and then search for the items you want by logon to the mailbox directly

Is this possible with Export-Mailbox?And in your initial posting you said: Using Powershell - how can I run a query based on "user" (or mailbox), "Sent Items", "Date Range" and have the ability to supplement specific recipients? Are you thinking of something like this:# Define the variables [string]$recipient = 'felicia@domain.net'[string]$sender = 'jas@domain.net'[string]$evnetID = 'RECEIVE'[string]$startDate = '18.09.2009 12:00:00'[string]$endDate = '18.09.2009 14:10:00'[string]$csvFile = 'c:\temp\test.csv' # Track messages and export the info to a .CSV file# The grave accent conitues the lineGet-Messagetrackinglog -Recipients:$recipient -Sender $sender `-EventID $evnetID -Start $startDate -End $endDate | `Export-Csv -Encoding 'Unicode' $csvFile This will provide you with info on the communication between a sender and a receiver with a subject line.Actually you get a lot more info, but his may easily be customized.You don't get the message body, though.Delete the first line in the .csv file before opening it / importing it as a comma delimited file in Excel.jas
