I'm trying to pull some mailbox exports with specific text but I'm getting more than I want. Here is the command part of my script export-mailbox "$mb" -AllContentKeywords "bmp","Court Order","Exhibit a","lid","231" -startdate $startdate -PSTFolderpath "$exportdir" -confirm:$false This is returning emails with text 54231, court and slid. What is the correct syntax to return only what is inside the quotes? Thanks

Hello, I checked in my lab, get the same result with you. Maybe you can use more conditions to search the emails (like subjectkeywords, ContentKeywords, etc), this can help you narrow the search range. One related document for you, hope can give you some help: Exchange Server 2007 Cross Mailbox Search using Export-mailbox http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2006/12/18/3397563.aspx I will do more research to see whether there is any way can make this command work as your required.

Thank you. Contentkeywords produces the same results. This is really surprising, I've previously assumed that the search would search what you're looking for -specifically-. Unless there is more to the tool that what I see here, with this info, it's clear that export-mailbox is not a good enough tool for any legal discovery. I will check the article you referenced.

Hi, I did more tests on the issue, but still cannot find any good way to do as your required. If you only want to search in one mailbox, maybe you can use this workaround to do that: <1> Use Outlook connect to the mailbox. <2> Search emails with "bmp" "Court Order", "Exhibit a", "lid", "231" in Outlook. <3> copy all the result emails (which match condition) to one Temp folder. <4> Export all the emails from the temp folder to one pst file, and delete the temp folder.
