    I ran the shell command

    Get-Mailbox -Server colmx | Export-Mailbox -SubjectKeywords “[ ]” -DeleteContent

    trying to delete all spam that had the subject "[ ]"

    Obviously that was a mistake because it started deleting every email that had a
    space in it. I did not expect that. now I have several people asking me to
    recover their emails. I could go to each computer and each folder that had the
    contents deleted, but I am hoping someone can help me with a shell script that
    will fix it faster.

    Thanks

    Hello Erik,

    This will use EWS Managed API, I suggest you go to ask in Exchange Development forum, maybe somebody there can help you on this issue:

    There is one script to recover all deleted items in mailbox on Exchange 2010:

    Alternatively if the info on the above threads didn't provide much help then, one other way that you can use:

    1. as you have used -DeleteContent Switch  in conjunction with Export-Mailbox you can user Import-Mailbox with -IncludeFolders Switch Provided. ( but i know this is very hectic process as you would have chain of folders that you want to specify.

    2. 2nd option that you may try is to restore a Good Full back(which you think has all the information missing) to a Recovery Storage group and later run the command below:

    Get-MailboxStatistics  -Database “Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database” | Restore-Mailbox

    Bottom Line: You would need to export all the content to PST which you have in the mailbox which you specified with Export-Mailbox which you have specified on your questions!

    Hope This Helps!
