    Dear Exchange administrators,

    We need to delete "some messages" from all user inboxes send by the account "postmaster".

    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery subject:"search string"  -targetmailbox postmaster -targetfolder inbox\search2 –deletecontent

    But I am getting "search-mailbox" command not found.

    How will get this command.

    Kindly help

    Regards

    Ashraf

    Hi Ashraf,
    You need permissions for search-mailbox to work and cmdlet to be visible. Add yourself as a member of the group "Discovery Management" and it should work for you.

    Additional Permissions needed for Parameter -DeleteContent Edit
    To be able to use the -DeleteContent Parameter you need to have "Mailbox Import Export" permissions. Without these permissions, the parameter -DeleteContent is not available for the Search-Mailbox Command.
    Instructions:
    1. Create a new Security Group
    2. Enter the following command in Exchange Management Shell (replace the Security Group name accordingly):
    New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name "Import Export Support" -SecurityGroup ImportExport -Role "Mailbox Import Export"
    regards sameer
