Hi, Is there a way to search the entire exchange database for a keyword and pull all emails that have the specified word? Thanks for your help.

hi there. If you're using Exchange Server 2007, you can use the Export-Mailbox to search for messages in mailboxes with specific keywords found in the message subject, body, attachment, etc. For more info, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb266964.aspx If you're using Exchange Server 2003 or earlier, you can use the Exmerge utility to search for messages in mailbox with specific keywords in the subject or attachment name. For more info, see http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=328202

Thanks, But exmerge only allows you to search by subject and attachment. I need to also search the body.

hey, Found this 3rd party utility.... http://www.re-soft.com/product/replaydsm/ hope this would help.... PLEASE NOTE - NOT TRIED THIS MYSELF. SO NOT SURE HOW THIS WORKS.

EMC has some software for Auditing departments that does something similair. http://software.emc.com/products/software_az/emailxaminer.htm?hlnav=T
