Hey All,

I need to export the list of sources on an eDiscovery search.  I've tried these commands:

(Get-MailboxSearch -Identity "test 10 year hold") | Select-Object sourcemailbox | Export-Csv c:\hold.csv

The CSV file just shows this:

I've also tried this command:

(Get-MailboxSearch -Identity "test 10 year hold").SourceMailboxes | Export-Csv c:\10_Year_Hold.csv

But it just exports the lengths of the names.

Does anybody know how to just export the names out of an eDiscovery search?  I'm thinking I need to do some string to object conversion maybe but I'm not sure.  

Thanks!

You need to look at the target folder for the results.  Read the full help carefully.

I find the csv files in the target folder without any problem.  The problem is that the csv file either just says "sourcemailbox" or has a list of numbers.  I'm trying to get a list of names.  I did the get-help -detailed on get-mailboxsearch but wasn't able to find anything helpful with my scenario, which is why I posted here.

Thanks

That is what it returns.

See:

public MultiValuedProperty<ADObjectId> SourceMailboxes { get; }

It is an array of object ids which are just numbers.

Get-MailboxSearch <searchname> | select -expand SourceMailboxes

Will give you a lsit of one or more of these ids.
