More Info Needed in Message Tracking Logs in Exchnage 2010 MAILBOX
Hello All
I would like to understand more on message tracking which was little bit confused for me 2 days back.
As far as i can know, HUB SERVER is the main part of the messaging tracking is playing vital role in Exchange 2010.
also, mailbox roles too...
i can see the message tracking logs created in mailbox is only usefull , for web interface for message tracking is part of the Exchange Control Panel and provides very basic search
functionality to search for messages either sent by or received by a mailbox, based on the sender, recipients, and subject line.
so message tracking logs which is available in mailbox is only user for end users who can perform the message tracking by themself vua ECP without installing EMC. -- AM I RIGHT
How will message tracking logs created in mailbox servers .......... will it replicate from HUB servers?
so if i have 4 mailbox servers, will all the mailbox servers having the same message tracking logs? or we may get different
Your information is much valuable to better understand on MT

Attachment Name of emails from Message Tracking Logs
Hi,
I have been able to get NDR from message tracking logs in Exchange 2010 using Exchange Management Shell. Is it possible to include the file name of the attactment of the emails from the report generated?
Regards,
Emansky
All the best, Eman LacuataHi,
No that is not possible.
Message tracking will never include names of attachments.

Exchange 2010 Message Tracking Logs and Calendar appointments
A little context here... We consume our message tracking logs with splunk so I can easily search and locate entries as needed. I have an alert that generates an email when specific calendars accept a meeting request.
I can pull the meeting title and specific calendar name, but the problem I am having is determining when the "meeting" is scheduled. The data in the tracking logs shows me that the meeting was accepted today, but the actual meeting may not
be for a week or more in the future.
Is there any data in the tracking logs that can be translated to show the actual date of the meeting?
Here is an example sanitized meeting request and acceptance

As name says its tracking log for the message in transit, not the content information :)
Actual meeting date/time should be inside the meeting message under one of the message property which you can look by opening meeting in outlook or via MFCMapi if you want.

Message Tracking logs for secondary smtp address
Hi,
There are many people sending mails to secondary smtp address instead of primary smtp address. How can i pull the report of message tracking logs if they sent it to secondary smtp address using get-messagetrackinglog cmdlet?
Sankar M http://messagingdevelopment.blogspot.in/Hi Sankar,
If I don't understand your description, it seems that you want to get the message tracking log on an mailbox with primary SMTP address and secondary SMTP address.
If it is the case, please add both primary SMTP address and secondary SMTP address to the "Recipients" parameter. More details to see:

Message tracking log of internal users who are all sent the mails to external domain
Hi ,
How can i get the message tracking log from internal users to external users?
We need the report of internal users who are all sent the mails to the external domain
Regards,
Sankar M
Sankar M http://messagingdevelopment.blogspot.in/Sankar, your outbound send connector has an address space of *. So when you run "Get-SendConnector", you will see something like the following:
Identity AddressSpaces
Enabled
Unix System Connection {SMTP:*.domfreebusy.contractor.hunti... True
Outgoing SMTP Connector
{SMTP:*;10} True
Mailbox Journaling Connector {SMTP:pdwastap01.huntington.com;1} True
The middle one with the {SMTP:*;10} in my case (you may have a different number than 10 in yours) is my outbound connector. So yours will show an address space of {SMTP:*;<some number, 10 is the default>}. HTH ... -
Definition of timestamp field in the message tracking log
Hi,
anyone can help me with the exact definition of timestamp field that I retrieve in the messagetracking log?
I think that is the exact time by which the exchange server receive a mail and start to elaborate it
Can you confirm please
Thank you very much
Luca PozzoliHi ,
Please have a look in to the below mentioned points .
Anyone can help me with the exact definition of timestamp field that I retrieve in the messagetracking
log?
Time stamp in exchange will help us identity at when and what time the message has been received and processed
from source server to destination server.
With the help of time stamps we can able to identify the message delay between the hops .
As an additional info you can review the time stamps in message headers as well on the message tracking logs.

Ironport Message Tracking Logs
Hi,
Am unable to post this in the Ironport Security section due to the restricted access on my Cisco support login ID.
I need to export the message tracking logs for a particular user for the last one year (or the period for which logs are available) on Ironport M660.
The GUI only reports 250 search results for every search and I have approx to export logs for approx. 20,000 messages.
Is there a Unix/CLI command which can be executed to export all tracking logs between a time frame in Ironport?
Thanks.This was a defect covered in the 8.5.6-093 release:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/security/esa/esa8-5-6/ESA_8-5-6_HP1_Release_Notes.pdf
So, if running the -074 revision... found defect:
https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuq49620
I wouldn't say that running repengupdate force is not suppose to be done, aside from a formal request... is odd to see or hear that would have been mentioned. With the force updates for any of the processes on the ESA, this is usually always a good troubleshooting step for any customer --- as the process will instantly call out to the updater servers, compare manifests, and then pull regardless of what is running the latest engine and rules sets for the process... and then silently implement in the background. While for the customers who might have bandwidth limiting options running on their network, the only major side effect is the package size that is coming across... since the engine is tagged into the rules...
But, normally with antivirus and antispam - this is the most helpful to run antivirusupdate force or antispamupdate ironport force. Especially in times where the update process itself may have been interrupted with a network related hiccup or staled out download.

Exchange Server 2010 - Message Tracking Logs - Log file creation
Hi,
I would like to find out on the behavior of the exchange server in the way that it logs the message tracking.
Currently the parameter used is
MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize - 10GBMessageTrackingLogMaxAge - 30daysI would like to check when the Max Directory Size has exceeded the value indicated, does Exchange server immediately deletes the oldest log file to make space for the new logs?And in the event that the oldest file is being open or locked, will exchange server delete the next oldest file? or it will reattempt to delete the "locked" file for a period of time?Lastly, when these "oldest" files is not able to be deleted, will exchange server stops logging new tracking events?Thanks!Hi Zack,
Thank you for your question.
If you have configured the parameter of “MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize” and “MessageTrackingLogMaxAge”, we think you have enable circular logging, it will delete the oldest message tracking log files for new log file when the either of the following
conditions is true:
The message tracking log directory reaches its specified maximum size.
A message tracking log file reaches its specified maximum age.
In addition, it didn’t exceeded the value indicated.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Message tracking log - time period
Hi,
How long are message tracking logs keeped on appliance?
How can i control message tracking logs.
Lots of HDD space available and I want 3 months of available Message Tracking logs.
When are Message traking logs deleted from the appliance?Message tracking is based on the drive space available on the ESA appliance.
It is not possible to configure the # of days for retention of message tracking data. The set HDD storage allocation for message tracking data is limited. HDD storage allocation is set based on the hardware:
C1X0: 10G
C3X0: 20G
C6X0: 50G
X10X0: 50G
Your best solution in order to store mail logs/message tracking - would be to also have configured to store the mail_logs off to a syslog server --- that way you can determine the full extent/length of the retention period. (And also allows you to search/manipulate all mail_logs with a little easier access that may be available on the ESA.)
Hope that helps!

Please let me know if anyone knows an answer to this one... We're in a Hybrid Exchange environment, with 2 x Exchange 2007 servers, and 1 x Exchange 2013 Hybrid server which is pointing to Office 365 for the purposes of relaying mail to O365 while
we migrate our users out there.
We have just finished migrating, but just a couple of days ago we started experiencing delays in email delivery to O365... Not all mail, but some! Incoming email or locally generated email gets relayed out through the Hybrid server and out to O365,
but not all email is delayed... only some, but it's constant. During the busiest part of the day, about 200 messages are sitting in the Queue in Exch2013... but they all eventually resolve between 5 and 45minutes. The users are not happy.
The last error in the queue viewer for each hung email reads: 451 4.4.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later.
If I look at the message tracking logs, I find an interesting item -- "RecipientThreadLimitExceeded":

I have tried to find some documentation on resolution for this RecipientThreadLimitExceeded error, but I can only come up with some Exchange 2011 documentation which recommends adding some entries to the EdgeTransport.exe.config file to bump up the RecipientThreadLimit
value... I have not found anything pertaining to 2013. I cannot even find any powershell commands to see what the current RecipientThreadLimit is on 2013! Aghg!
Has anyone seen this before, or have any recommendations?
Thank you,
MikeAfter many days of frustration, Microsoft Support finally resolved this issue. Believe it or not, but the issue was actually on the Office365 side. Here's the fix:
Exchange Admin Center -> Mail Flow -> Connectors -> Inbound Connectors
Open your "Inbound from <guid>" with the "On-premises" connector type
Click on Scope -> scroll down to "Associated accepted domains"
We had an entry in there "<organization>.mail.onmicrosoft.com"... Microsoft support had us remove this entry so that the box was completely empty.
That RESOLVED it... amazing what what little entry could do. We've had this entry in there for about 2 months, and it had been working fine. Support acknowledged that several customers have had this issue, that they are working on getting it
fixed on the back-end.
Hope this helps somebody...

Cannot locate client IP Addess in message tracking logs
Hello
Im having trouble with a client who has an Exchange 2010 environment. They wish to identify users (via their client IP addresses of their workstations) who may be sending a large number of emails.
In this environment there are two CAS servers that are hardware load balanced.
My client wishes to interrogate the Message tracking logs (I believe this is the right place) in order to identify the IP address of a client which sent the originating mails. However the message tracking logs returns only the address of the Load Balancer
and not the client IP Address of the sending machine.
Is this anyway this can resolved?
Many thanks in advanceHi,
Or we can use
IIS Advanced Logging. Add field “X-Forwarded-For” to the Advance Logging configuration to find the real IP address of the client device. Here are steps.
Install “Advanced Logging” on each CAS server: Double click on msi file. Check the accept checkbox and click, next, next and finish for the installation.
Add field “X-Forwarded-For” to the Advance Logging configuration.
From your Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 device, open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
From the Connections navigation pane, click the appropriate CAS or CHM server on which you are configuring Advanced Logging. The Home page appears in the main panel.
From the Home page, under IIS, double-click Advanced Logging.
From the Actions pane on the right, click Edit Logging Fields.
From the Edit Logging Fields dialog box, click the Add Field button, and then complete the following:
In the Field ID box, type X-Forwarded-For.
From the Category list, select Default.
From the Source Type list, select Request Header.
In the Source Name box, type X-Forwarded-For.
Click the OK button in the Add Logging Field box, and then click the OK button in the Edit Logging Fields box.
Click a Log Definition to select it. By default, there is only one: %COMPUTERNAME%-Server. The log definition you select must have a status of Enabled.
From the Actions pane on the right, click Edit Log Definition or right click and select Edit Log Definition.
Click the Select Fields button, and then check the box for the X-Forwarded-For logging field.
Click the OK button.
From the Actions pane, click Apply.
Click Return To Advanced Logging.
In the Actions pane, click Enable Advanced Logging.
Now, when you look at Inetpublogs, you will see a new AdvancedLogs folder will be available with new logs and these logs will have the client device IP address.
Best Regards.

FOR HMARKOVA! HELP! More info needed!
Hi, Helena! I was wondering if you could give me more detailed information about how to use arguments within two modules. I've just read your explanation!
I want to connect to modules, I want to select a customer from one module called clients, and then pass that argument into another module called courses. I've created an argument in the called module, if I've understood you correctly this is the module called courses, in the properties I've put defined by clients.name .
In the calling module clients, in the section
Called Modules I've added in Argument Passed Values , but I'm not quite sure about what I'm doing.
Could you explain how to connect two modules using arguments with more details please?
