Hi everyone, Not sure if this is do-able using power shell, or if I'd have to run a script, or purchase a tool, but I'd like to run a scan on all our stores for all messages of a specific class, and see whose mailbox they are in. For example, our archiving solution leaves stubs of emails in mailboxes as ipm.note.ARCHIVED. I've run through our archiving solution and un-archived people, so its reconstructed these messages.However, I'd like to check how successful its been, and if there are any messages left with the different class, before we decommission the archive server. Thanks in advance.

I don't know of a way to do this with PowerShell, but it's certainly doable with a custom VB Script using the Outlook object model. -- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".

Hi,If you want to do something with "Message Class", as I know, there is two solution:1, use outlook 2007 "Advanced Find" -> Advanced->Field-> All mail fields-> Message Class, to find the mails manually.2, you can use New-ManagedContentSettings with switch -MessageClass to create new managed content setting.

Cheers for the replies. Outlook not really an option as I want to view it for multiple mailboxes/databases. I'm not really very good in VB, so I'll have a look at the managed content settings. Thank you.

You can do that with the Outlook object model, but if you're not "good in VB" the task could indeed be daunting.-- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".
