outlook, powershell

Hi pramod1,

Are you connecting to office 365 exchange before running this command?
See here for connecting:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/exchange-online/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell?view=exchange-ps

Also, the example provided here uses single quotes around the subject:"credit card" part of the command:
https://o365info.com/using-the-search-mailbox-powershell-command-introduction-part-1-5/

So your command would look like this:

search-mailbox -Identity "user@domain.com" -SearchQuery 'subject:"credit card"' -DeleteContent

Select allOpen in new window

Hope this helps!

I am already connected to o365 command doesn't work

I want to delete something which has come in subject from the user's mailbox, what command should I use

Search-Mailbox -Identity "April Stewart" -SearchQuery 'Subject:"Your bank statement"' -DeleteContent -not working

Can you double check to ensure that your account is a member of the "Discovery Management" role? If your account is not part of this role, then the search-mailbox cmdlet is not imported. If you need to add your account to this role, you can do so through ECP, then restart your powershell session to connect with the proper credentials, and import these commands.

Hope this helps!

where should I check, I am in exchange admin center

under -permission-admin roles-discovery management?

"Exchange Admin Center"
"Permissions"
"Admin Roles"
"Discovery Management"
Edit, and make sure your account is a member.

ok let me try

I added myself as member but not working, do I need to connect back again

Yes, after adding yourself as a member, you must reconnect to office 365 exchange powershell, to import the missing cmdlets.

do I need to member of any other group as it not working

I am global admin also

Discovery Management is the only role you should need to add yourself to.... Are you in a hybrid environment?

To double check in your enviroment, you could run these commands:

$perms = Get-ManagementRole -Cmdlet search-mailbox

Select allOpen in new window

and

$perms | foreach {Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -role $_.name -Delegating $False |Format-Table -Auto Role,RoleAssigneeType,RoleAssigneeName}

Select allOpen in new window

It will tell you what Roles you need.

Because you're trying to delete content, with the search-mailbox command, I looked up the permissions needed for both together, this is what I found:

I guess I should've posted the information here, instead of the link.
I'll know better for next time.
Glad you've got a working solution pramod1.
