I have created the folder "c:\temp\MSGTRACK\Output\" and run the script, but got nothing in the csv files except an error:

Accept Domain Log 'c:\temp\MSGTRACK\Output\Archive\Get-AcceptedDomain.log' does not exist

Did I do something wrong? Or need any pre-work?

Thanks.

Awesome! I have often wondered why a standard set of reports is not built-in to Exchange, this is just that kind of thing - cool. I also would like to see this in PS, it would be nice to make it part of my currently weekly powershell script.

Thanks - awesome job!

@ Kris - It's a bug in script. We will either fix it ( first preference) or update documentation.

@ Nivritti & Valery - The code was originally written in VB back in 2007 and it is a big effort to port to PS. VBS written in 2007 timeframe (when PSV1 couldn’t perform and was not use commonly)

@ Kris & "users listed twice?' - We will check it out & follow up

@ Jon - Example 4 should work, all tracking logs need to be under same directory or sub-directories

users listed twice? — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:15:12 GMT

On the MTTopRecipientResults.csv some of our users are listed twice with same email but case sensitive email addresses?

For example:

tuser@domain.com

TUser@domain.com

Why would that happen?

thanks

why not on powershell? Back to VBS?

What about an example for a month or say the last three months?
