Thanks for the quick response.
If I try run get-mailbox -auditlog, it tells me it cannot find the command. the rest like -arbitration etc works fine.- Dan_SnapeApr 18, 2024Bronze Contributorif you use "tab" to cycle through the available options for the get-mailbox cmdlet, you can run through those options to see if anything lives on it.
