Check content

Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command: Get-MailboxServer | Select Name, Identity, MessageTrackingLogEnabled If the value of 'MessageTrackingLogEnabled' is not set to 'True', this is a finding.

Fix text

Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command: Set-MailboxServer -Identity <'ServerName'> -MessageTrackingLogEnable $True

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
