messagetrace limit

Question

Good day,

Is there any way to expand 1000 messages limits of Message Trace Extended report retrieving from message trace in exchange online ?

Also let me know how can I take message trace extended report (which it has all extended report fields not only message trace in powershell) by using powershell without any limitation for the number of records.

Thank you,

Hi，

  According to your description, if you want to expand the number of email traces, you can use the  Get-MessageTrace -PageSize <Int32>in cmdlet to change the number to a maximum of 5000. If you want to use PowerShell to export a message trace report, first use the Start-HistoricalSearch cmdlet to create the report, and then use Get-HistoricalSearch to get the search information.

The cmdlet you can use is Start-HistoricalSearch: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/start-historicalsearch?view=exchange-ps

As mentioned in the documentation, the limit is 100000 rows.
