Recovering messages from Exchange server 2007

Greetings Exchange gurus What's the easiest way to view all messages that were sent by a particular user on a particular day in the past week? I need this for some cloak-and-dagger investigative purposes - I suppose I could just grant myself permissions to the user's mailbox and forward myself all

RE: Guidance on disks for Exchange 2010

Thanks for everyone's input. It's clear that there's a lot of difference of opinion. From what I can gather, than, so long as the storage appliance is supported/approved by Exchange/Microsoft, a solution involving thin provisioning using expanding disks would be ok? Just curious, is there is t

Event 1221 in the Application log will tell you the amount of free space in the db at the time of online defrag. Can you use that plus filesystem info. about disk space and the size of the database files to get what you're looking for? You could write a Powershell script using the Get-Eventlog cm

Hi It does help, only I've not used Powershell before. I was hoping to use a batch file and use some command line swiches. Looks like time to investigate PS. Thanks John From: Richard Stovall [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] Sent: 23 July 2010 13:54 To: MS-Exchange Ad

I put this together a while back to get the whitespace report weekly May help for a starting point, the rest should be able to be pulled out with the same array of servers and their WMI. strDate = Date() Const ForWriting = 2 Const ForReading = 1 strMail = "us...@domain.com"

Some folks on the NT list have mentioned Mark Russinovich's psloglist utility in the past. I've not used it, but perhaps it might let you do what you need in a batch file. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897544.aspx

RE: Recovering messages from Exchange server 2007

You can track messages, but you cannot view the contents of the message. That's if you have message tracking already enabled prior to these messages having been sent/received. John Bowles From: James Rankin [kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010

Do you have any sort of edge device or a similar service? I often recover messages for users from our Barracuda. (We also relay outbound messages through it to take advantage of the invalid bounce suppression feature.) On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 9:14 AM, John Bowles wrote: > You can track message

Assuming you still have the Tracking Logs for the period in question, then download and install the 30-day trial of Quest MessageStats ( www.quest.com/messagestats). In the admin console you can identify certain mailboxes on which you want detailed information (auditing tab), and then set up a gat

Re: OOO message only going out once

OOOs are once per user, per each time OOO is enabled. There is no daily reset. So if I go on 2 weeks vacation, each person who sends me an email only gets one OOO response while I'm gone. On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 10:53 AM, Maglinger, Paul wrote: > Running Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003. Sender rec

Interesting. I know that I've gotten OOO from users on multiple days, but never more than one per day. So that means that they would have had to have been toggling the OOO to get that to happen. Thanks people! From: Richard Stovall [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 10:0

Re: OOO message only going out once

OOO only oges out once per sender period. Not once per sender per day. To clear OOF history you need to turn the OOF off and then on again for the recipient mailbox. On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 10:53 AM, Maglinger, Paul wrote: > Running Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003. Sender received an "out of offi
