PowerShell Script To Determine Number Of Emails Sent To Per External Domain

  • Artikel

Exchange PFEs Daya Patil and Abdul Rafey Mohammed share one of their recent PowerShell scripts to analyse Exchange message tracking logs. 

One of our customers needed a quick way to determine the number of emails being sent from their Exchange 2010 organization to external domains, and with a count of per each external domain.

We made a script to get this information, and wanted to share for those with similar requirements. 

 

In the script, we determine the number of emails sent from each Mailbox Server between  two defined time periods.  Script parameters can be changed according to your requirements.

    Method invocation failed because [Selected.Microsoft.Exchange.Management.TransportLogSearchTasks.MessageTrackingEvent] doesn't contain a method named 'Trim'.
    At C:ScriptsCount-E-Mail-per-Domain.ps1:51 char:25
    + $Rcpt1 += ($Entry).Trim <<<< ("{ }").Split(",")
    + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Trim:String) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound
