How to check the type of corruption in my mailbox before repairing it.

Question

I want to check the type of corruption in my mailbox before repairing it.

I used the New-MailboxRepairRequest with the -DetectOnly switch against all the corruption parameters.

I check the status of the job using the Get-MailboxRepairRequest.

Now I want to see which type of corruption has been detected in my mailbox. How can I do that? Am I supposed to run the Get-MailboxRepairRequest with statistics? Note: This is all to be done before actually repairing the mailbox

Hello,

To check the type of corruption detected in your mailbox before repairing it, you can use the Get-MailboxRepairRequest cmdlet with the -Detailed switch. This will provide detailed information about the mailbox repair request, including the types of corruption detected.

Here's how you can do it:

Get-MailboxRepairRequest -Mailbox "your_mailbox" -Detailed | Format-List

Review the output to see the types of corruption detected. The output will include details such as the mailbox GUID, the type of corruption specified, the progress of the repair request, and the number of corruptions detected and fixed.
