Search-MessageTrackingReport

The BypassDelegateChecking switch allows Help desk staff and administrators to track messages for any user. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

By default, users can only track messages that they send or receive from their own mailbox.

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

• Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
• Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The DoNotResolve switch specifies whether to prevent the resolution of email addresses to display names. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

Using this switch improves performance, but the lack of display names might make the results more difficult to interpret.

The Identity parameter scopes the search to the specified mailbox. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the mailbox. For example:

• Name
• Alias
• Distinguished name (DN)
• Canonical DN
• Domain\Username
• Email address
• GUID
• LegacyExchangeDN
• SamAccountName
• User ID or user principal name (UPN)

When you use this parameter without the Sender parameter, the specified mailbox is the message sender that's used in the search. You can specify the recipients by using the Recipients parameter.

When you use this parameter with the Sender parameter, the specified mailbox is message recipient that's used in the search.

This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use.

The MessageId parameter filters the results by the Message-ID header field of the message. This value is also known as the Client ID. The format of the Message-ID depends on the messaging server that sent the message. The value should be unique for each message. However, not all messaging servers create values for the Message-ID in the same way. Be sure to include the full Message ID string (which may include angle brackets) and enclose the value in quotation marks (for example, "d9683b4c-127b-413a-ae2e-fa7dfb32c69d@contoso.com").

The Recipients parameter filters the results by the email addresses of the specified recipients. You can specify multiple email addresses separated by commas.

You can't use this parameter with the Sender parameter.

The ResultSize parameter specifies the maximum number of results to return. If you want to return all requests that match the query, use unlimited for the value of this parameter. The default value is 1000.

The Sender parameter specifies the email address of the message sender for messages that are sent to the mailbox that's specified by the Identity parameter.

You need to use this parameter with the Identity parameter.

The Subject parameter searches for messages with the specified Subject field value. If the value contains spaces, enclosed the value in quotation marks.

The TraceLevel parameter specifies the details to include in the results. Valid values are:

• Low: Minimal additional data is returned, including servers that were accessed, timing, message tracking search result counts, and any error information.
• Medium: In addition to all the data returned for the Low setting, the actual message tracking search results are also returned.
• High: Full diagnostic data is returned.

You only need to use this parameter for troubleshooting message tracking issues.

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
