DeDuplication in Content Search
Well I gave it a quick try and I seem to be able to confirm similar behavior. Need to take a more in-depth look to be sure though, but I'd certainly recommend opening a support ticket for this.
Duplicates should still be listed in the report file. Are you running the query against a single mailbox or multiple ones?
Vasil. I have done this against a single mailbox and multiple mailboxes. In the report generation, you are given the option to deduplicate, I select this option. The report is generated and there are two lines in the report; mailbox object count and size, mailbox object count and size after deduplication. Every report I run, these two rows are always have the same results.
When exporting, again using the same deduplication option, I open the PST and perform a simple check for duplicates and I always find duplicate emails and calendar objects.
using a third part tool, I typically get a 15-25% reduction of objects after running an export that has been deduped.
Hey, did you ever get a response from Microsoft on this one?
