Message tracking is an immensely useful Exchange feature that makes it simple to see each place where an inbound or outbound message was touched by an Exchange component. Mark Arnold had a good post back in August about some nifty message tracking tricks you can do with the set-transportServer task, but he left out the most important one (IMHO): how do you turn on subject-line tracking?
This is a matter of some controversy (not how, but why). Some sites hate the idea of having the subject of every message sitting in the logs until the log expiration period hits. However, it’s about a million times easier to track a message given its subject, so I normally recommend that this be turned on unless you’re working for a TLA or something. The trick is to use the MessageTrackingLogSubjectLoggingEnabled flag with set-TransportServer. Yeah, right; I’m sure you caught on immediately, given that the name tells you exactly what you’re getting. A quick
set-TransportServer serverName –MessageTrackingLogSubjectLoggingEnabled:$true
and you’re done!
