New-MailboxRestoreRequest to recovery only items within a specific date range

Guys

I need to perform a restore of a mailbox from a Recovery database but I would like to restore only those items within a specific date range. Is this possible ? I'm using Exchange 2010.

Thanks.

You'd have to either connect the disabled mailbox to a recovery AD user account using Connect-Mailbox and open the mailbox using Outlook or filter using Search-Mailbox as far as I know. I searched all available parameters for the New-MailboxRestoreRequest cmdlet for 2010 and none have the option to filter by date.

Either that or you can try searching the dumpster and Purges folder using MFCMAPI (assuming SingleItemRecovery was enabled on the source mailbox).

Kevin - The New-MailboxRestoreRequest cmdlet doesn't perform any action on the database level, it simply restores data from a disabled/disconnected mailbox to an active mailbox. Additionally, the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet exports data from a mailbox to a .pst file so this wouldn't really be the best option to accomplish what the OP is requesting.

Thanks. In the end I restored the whole mailbox. I don't think the New-MailboxRestoreRequest does support date range switches.
