Downsize Mailbox by Deleting E-Mails with EMS
Hello,
I have a problem with Deleting E-Mails out of a Mailbox with EMS . I am running the command:
Search-Mailbox -Identity "Mailbox Name" -DeleteContent -SearchQuery 'received:01/01/2001..11/20/2011' -TargetMailbox "
Backup Mailbox" -TargetFolder "Name" -LogLevel Full -Force -verbose
Following error I get and the mailbox does not get resized:
The items could not be copied.
+ CategoryInfo : ReadError: (0:Int32) [Search-Mailbox], StoragePermanentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 2952493D,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tasks.SearchMailbox
Does anybodz have an idea how I can handle this issue ?
Thanks,

Hi Marcel,
I test the cmdlet in my test lab(Exchange 2010 SP1 RU6), and it works.
Search-Mailbox -Identity "Mailbox Name" -DeleteContent -SearchQuery 'received:01/01/2001..11/20/2011' -TargetMailbox "Backup Mailbox" -TargetFolder "Name" -LogLevel Full -Force -verbose
'received:01/01/2001..11/20/2011' -> Change the Single quotas to quotation marks(" ").
Please make sure you meet the Prerequisites to Use Mailbox Search to Delete Messages.

Please try to run a simple Search-Mailbox to test. For Example:
Search-Mailbox -Identity "April Stewart" -SearchQuery "Subject:'Your bank statement'" -DeleteContent

Hello,
In my case the solution was to disable antivirus services on the mailbox server. The -DeleteContent option then work without problems. Exchange 2010 SP2 + CU1.
Maybe it will be helpful for somebody.
