Exchange 2016 ComplianceSearch not work
hi everyone,
I want to soft delete all email contents in multi mailboxes in bulk. New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet seems could achieve it, but it just could delete 10 messages one time..
i tested cmdlets below, but return results are zero.
New-ComplianceSearch -Name "test" -ExchangeLocation "<user id>" | Start-ComplianceSearch
Get-ComplianceSearch | FL name,items,size,jobprogress,status
New-ComplianceSearchAction -SearchName "test" -Purge -PurgeType SoftDelete
Can you help me why search result is blank?
- If you have single-item recovery enabled, they won't be permanently deleted. Same if the mailbox is on hold. And you can always use the other switched to make a copy of the deleted content. Bets having to run the same thing 100x times, at least in my book 🙂
As to why you're not getting any results, I'm not sure. Try adding some generic query instead, although it *should* include the whole content of the mailbox when no keywords are provided...
- Why don't you just use good old Search-Mailbox?
