Exch 2013 Message Trace in the EAC?
So I was sent an odd bounce back that seems to be generated by the sending server but I want to track communications between my new Exchange2013 server and the sender.
I have seen reference to message trace:
http://community.office365.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-components-userfiles/00-00-13-15-65-Attached+Files/3583.message-trace.jpg
Is this an O365 only feature? is there no way to utilize Message Trace in the EAC for Exchange 2013?
I can use the power shell, but even those results are not as helpful and easy to administer as the old message tracking system.
Get-MessageTrackingLog -Sender user@somedomain.com
This generates a list, but no times. Anyway to get output with a timestamp displayed?
Thanks.

Hello,
The second command is taking so much longer because you are pulling every single tracking log in a two day span then parsing them for recipients in the example.com domain. In the first command, it is only returning logs where the sender is a specific address.
If you have an NDR, I would use the -sender and -recipients: switches to narrow it down to to the specific sender and recipient addresses. This should speed things up.

Jamie,
Is there anyway to utilize the "Get-MessageTrackingLog -Sender user@somedomain.com" command but get it to display with time stamps. I'm surprised there is not more demand for this. The current output is only marginally helpful without time stamps.
Thanks

While I never got a conclusive answer on my first question. Jamie thoroughly helped me utilize shell to address my needs.

Get-MessageTrackingLog -ResultSize Unlimited -Start "11/6/2014" -End "11/8/2014" | where{$_.recipients -like "*@example.com"} | select-object Timestamp,SourceContext,So
But it takes like 10-15mins to run. The other command took seconds to complete. Not sure why this command takes so much longer to complete.
