Use the Get-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to return the data for a specific message tracking report. This cmdlet requires you to specify the ID for the message tracking report you want to view. Therefore, first you need to use the Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to find the message tracking report ID for a specific message. You then pass the message tracking report ID from the output of the Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to the Get-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet. For more information, see Search-MessageTrackingReport. To learn more about message tracking, see Understanding Message Tracking.

Detailed Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Message tracking" entry in the Transport Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tracking.MessageTrackingReportId	The Identity parameter specifies the ID of the message tracking report ID to get. You should run the Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to find the message tracking report ID for the specific message you're tracking, and then pass the value of the MessageTrackingReportID field to this parameter.
BypassDelegateChecking	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The BypassDelegateChecking parameter allows Help desk staff and administrators to get message tracking reports for any user. By default, each user can only see the message tracking reports for messages sent or received by the user. When you use this switch, Exchange allows you to view the message tracking reports for message exchanges among other users.
DetailLevel	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.InfoWorker.Common.MessageTracking.MessageTrackingDetailLevel	The DetailLevel parameter specifies the amount of detail to be displayed for the message tracking report. You can use one of the following values: `Basic` `Verbose` If you specify `Basic`, simple delivery report information is displayed, which is more appropriate for information workers. If you specify `Verbose`, full report information is displayed, including server names and physical topology information.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from Active Directory.
DoNotResolve	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The DoNotResolve parameter prevents the resolution of e-mail addresses to display names. This improves performance, but the end result may not be as easy to interpret because it's missing the display names.
RecipientPathFilter	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.SmtpAddress	The RecipientPathFilter parameter specifies the recipient for which the command returns the detailed tracking report. Use this parameter when you're using the RecipientPath report template.
Recipients	Optional	System.String[]	The Recipients parameter specifies the recipients for whom you want to get the message tracking data. You can use this parameter to specify the recipients in the report details if you're using the Summary report template.
ReportTemplate	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.InfoWorker.Common.MessageTracking.ReportTemplate	The ReportTemplate parameter specifies a predefined format for the output. You can either return a summary for all recipients or a detailed tracking report for one recipient. You can specify one of the following values: `RecipientPath` `Summary`
ResultSize	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Unlimited	The ResultSize parameter specifies the maximum number of results to return. If you want to return all messages that match the search criteria, use `unlimited` for the value of this parameter. The default value is 1000.
Status	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tracking._DeliveryStatus	The Status parameter specifies the delivery status codes you're interested in. You can specify one of the following values: `Delivered` `Read` `Pending` `Transferred` `Unsuccessful`
TraceLevel	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tracking.TraceLevel	The TraceLevel parameter specifies whether additional trace details are included in the output of the message tracking report. This parameter is intended to be used when troubleshooting message tracking issues. The acceptable values for the TraceLevel parameter are: `Low` Minimal additional data is returned, including servers that were accessed, timing, message tracking search result counts, and any error information. `Medium` In addition to all the data returned for the `Low` setting, the actual message tracking search results are also returned. `High` Full diagnostic data is returned.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example gets the message tracking report for messages sent from one user to another. This example returns the summary of the message tracking report for a message that David Jones sent to Wendy Richardson.

	Copy Code
$Temp = Search-MessageTrackingReport -Identity "David Jones" -Recipients "wendy@contoso.com" Get-MessageTrackingReport -Identity $Temp.MessageTrackingReportID -ReportTemplate Summary

EXAMPLE 2

This example gets the message tracking report for the following scenario: The user Cigdem Akin was expecting an e-mail message from joe@contoso.com which never arrived. She contacted the Help desk, which needs to determine what happened. They need to generate the message tracking report on behalf of Cigdem, and they don't need to see the display names.

This example searches the message tracking data for the specific message tracking reports, and then returns detailed troubleshooting information for the specific recipient path.

	Copy Code
Search-MessageTrackingReport -Identity "Cigdem Akin" -Sender "joe@contoso.com" -ByPassDelegateChecking -DoNotResolve \| ForEach-Object { Get-MessageTrackingReport -Identity $_.MessageTrackingReportID -DetailLevel Verbose -BypassDelegateChecking -DoNotResolve -RecipientPathFilter "cigdem@fabrikam.com" -ReportTemplate RecipientPath }

Copy Code

Search-MessageTrackingReport -Identity "Cigdem Akin" -Sender "joe@contoso.com" -ByPassDelegateChecking -DoNotResolve | ForEach-Object { Get-MessageTrackingReport -Identity $_.MessageTrackingReportID -DetailLevel Verbose -BypassDelegateChecking -DoNotResolve -RecipientPathFilter "cigdem@fabrikam.com" -ReportTemplate RecipientPath }
