    Hi All

    In Exchange 2003, message tracking was easy enough to use, but I am having a few issues with the 2007 EMC version!

    We have multiple Hub Transports and mailbox servers in our Exchange 2007 environment. Let's say User1 sends a message to User2 and I want to use Exchange message tracking to see when it was sent.

    In the Exchange Management Console, there are various values I can enter under Message Tracking Parameters. I am not sure on some:

    Server? : Presumably this is a Hub Transport server, but how do I know which one to enter?
    EventID?: There is RECIEVE, SEND, etc...can I not just select all to see the progression of the message

    If I can't do this via the EMC, is it possible to do this via PowerShell?

    Hi,

     

    Yes, we could not do it via EMC, but we could use powershell. Regarding the command, please read the following article:

    Yes you can do this through Shell. For example  Get-MessageTrackingLog –EventID “RECEIVE” –MessageSubject “hello” –Start “01/12/2006 00:00:00” –End “28/12/2006 18:50:00”

    It can be done using EMC, the problem is that if the company has multiple HT servers, then we will have to search through each of every server as we wouldn't know which HT server the message has passed through. I believe using powershell gives us the advantage that we don't have to logon to every HＴ server to track the message. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks a lot.
    Thank you, msdn =) 99.9% of my questions have been answered :D

    If you're tracking a message send from within the organization, start
    with the mailbox server and find the SUBMIT event. Select that event
    and click "Next", then click "Next" again. Repeat as needed. You can
    follow a message through as many NT servers as it passes through
    without moving from server to server yourself.
