I have an android user who's contacts got super-duplicated...he has multiple hundred copies of every contact, over 350,000 total. I am not able to manipulate the contacts at all in outlook, the client freezes and crashes when you try to do anything. I'm hoping somebody knows of a powershell command or some way to manipulate the mailbox on the server side, and delete all of his contacts?<br />
<br />
I found reference to a powershell string:<br />
search-mailbox -identity USERNAME -searchquery kind:contacts -deletecontent<br />
but it errors out saying it doesn't recognize the cmdlet &quot;search-mailbox&quot; - might be part of exchange 2010 and not available in 2007?

Delete all outlook contacts in a mailbox - powershell command? Exchange 2007

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
