Removing a specific message is "relatively" simple. You can use the Exchange Management Shell (PowerShell) to do this: Search-Mailbox -Identity "<user>" -SearchQuery 'Subject:"<subject_title>"' -DeleteContent Removing an attachment, will require a bit more work. You could do that through Exchange Web Services & PowerShell. Here's a tutorial on how to configure someone to export mailboxes from Exchange: http://exchangeserverpro.com/export-mailboxes-exchange-server-2010-sp1 Cheers!

Hi, Before running Export cmdlet, you have to do two things: 1. Add RBAC Mailbox Import Export RoleAssignment to the Admin: New-Managementroleassignment Role Mailbox Import Export User Administrator 2. Now Create a Folder , Share it The do the export: New-MailboxExportRequest Mailbox MailboxName -FilePath \\ServerName\PST\MailboxName.pst Regards from www.windowsadmin.info | www.blog.windowsadmin.info

Hi GreeMann, The "export-mailbox" is not fit for exchange 2010, you could refer to below information about exchange 2010: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607299 1. "get-mailbox -server server1 -resultsize unlimited" means: get the mailbox on the server1. 2. "Export-Mailbox -SubjectKeywords "Friday Party" -IncludeFolders "\Inbox" -StartDate "09/07/2010" -EndDate "09/09/2010" -DeleteContent -TargetMailbox MyBackupMailbox -TargetFolder DeleteMsgs -Confirm:$false regards greenman" The command would export the item from the mailbox(step1 result) , and some conditions should be match. You could refer to below http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998579(v=exchg.80) to understand it. The question 1 and 3, above gave some good suggestion. For question 2, per my know, we could not only remove the attachment for a message. Regards! Gavin TechNet Community Support

Hi, Did you follow MichaelVHs advice above? Export-Mailbox (used in RTM) or New-MailboxExportRequest (SP1/SP2) is not the command to use if you want to delete an item from all mailboxes. ...and to add to his advice just add get-mailbox first. Example: Get-Mailbox | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'Subject:"Put something here"' -DeleteContent See: Search-MailboxMartina Miskovic

i have exchange 2010 with no service pack. Well, since RTM is not supported anymore you should upgrade your server(s). Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28190Martina Miskovic
