Messagetracking in Exchange 2010 via Powershell
je kan binnen exchange via de gui messagetracking bekijken.
onder toolbox – Message tracking.
persoonlijk vind ik het handiger om dit te doen via powershell / Exchange Management Shell
dit kan via volgen vie verschillende commando’s:
- Get-MessageTrackingLog -start “10/19/2012 08:00:00” -end “10/19/2012 09:00:00” (messagetracking tussen 08u00 & 09u00 ‘s ochtends voor alle inkomende/uitgaande mails)
- Get-MessageTrackingLog -start “10/19/2012 08:00:00” -end “10/19/2012 09:00:00” -recipient user@domain.eu
(messagetracking tussen 08u00 & 09u00 ‘s ochtends voor alle inkomende naar ontvanger user@domain.eu)
- Get-MessageTrackingLog -start “10/19/2012 08:00:00” -end “10/19/2012 09:00:00” -sender user@domain.eu
(messagetracking tussen 08u00 & 09u00 ‘s ochtends voor alle uitgaande mails van verzender user@domain.eu)
Je kan dit uiteraard exporteren naar een csv via | export.csv c:\test\export.csv
via dit script kan je in (semi) realtime messagetracking binnen exchange 2010 bekijken.
$tijd= (get-date)
Write-Host Semi-realtimelog viewer:
For(;;)
{
Get-MessageTrackingLog -Start $tijd
$tijd= (get-date)
Start-Sleep-Seconds5
}
