I need to search my entire database for messages containing a specific name. When I run the command below, it returns messages with the name in the body AND the recipient list.

I do not want the recipient lists to be included in the search, just the message body and attachments. How can I exclude the recipients?

Here is the command:

get-mailbox -database "serverA\sg2\mailbox store" | export-mailbox -targetmailbox tester -targetfolder restore2 -contentkeywords "alice" -excludefolders \contacts, \calendar -baditemlimit 1000

Thanks

Just to confirm, the only thing you added was quotes around the excludefolders items, right?

If so, then it's still pulling messages with the keyword in the recipient list.

Hi,

This is strange because below the description from the technet page:

The ContentKeywords parameter specifies the keywords of the content to include in the move. If the command finds a keyword that you specify in the message body or in the attachment content, it will export those messages

Recipients are listed in the header so it's very strange that it selects messages with the word in the recipient field.

Have you trie the parameter AllContentKeywords ?

Nope, same results.

I have now opened a case w/MS and after working on it for 2 hours the technician asked if he could call me back tomorrow. I was really disappointed that MS could not resolve this fairly quickly. Of course it all depends on who you talk to.

Thanks for your help. If they are able to resolve it I will post the answer.

Not that I want to be an innovator, but MS is stating that I have found a bug in Exchange. They can replicate the behavior and have no fix for it at this time.

If I ever get a resolution I will post back.
