Exchange User Information - Notes

[Felix Figueroa]

We use the Notes field to hold info on data holds. I'd like to be able search the notes field via powershell. I also like to update the notes field with powershell. Any help would be great.

Try something like this -
Search-Mailbox –identity maryc –SearchQuery 'body:keyword AND kind:meetings' -EstimateResultOnly

(try using estimateresultonly instead of delete)

These are the keywords to use with kind:
Contacts kind:contacts
E-mail kind:email
Instant Messenger conversations kind:im
Meetings kind:meetings
Tasks kind:tasks
Notes kind:notes

Oops... that one deletes. You'll want to change that part.

Thanks for the info. Sorry it took so long to see this, never got an email. I tried the search-mailbox command and got The term 'Search-Mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function.

We have Outlook 2010, Exchange 2007. Thanks again.

Oh, Exchange 2007. to do it server side, you need to use Export-Mailbox cmdlet and export based onm the search terms. Yeah, it's that bad.

Or you can do it from outlook's side - see http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscrip...wershell-to-data-mine-your-outlook-inbox.aspx for an example.
