Resume-Message
Applies to: Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3
Use the Resume-Message cmdlet to enable delivery of a previously suspended message in a queue on a computer that has the Hub Transport server role or the Edge Transport server role installed.
Syntax
Resume-Message -Identity <MessageIdentity> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]
Resume-Message -Filter <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Server <ServerIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]
Detailed Description
The Resume-Message cmdlet enables delivery of a previously suspended message that is in a queue on the Hub Transport server or the Edge Transport server. A message that is being sent to multiple recipients might be located in multiple queues. If you specify an Identity parameter, the message will be resumed in a single queue if that identity matches only a single message. If the identity matches more than one message, you will receive an error. To resume a message in more than one queue in a single operation, you must use a filter.
You must use an Identity parameter or a Filter parameter. These two parameter sets are mutually exclusive.
You can resume a message on a remote server by including the server name as part of the Identity parameter or by using the Server parameter with the Filter parameter. If you do not specify a server, the command runs against the local server only.
To run the Resume-Message cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server.
To run the Resume-Message cmdlet on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.

Parameters
Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Filter |
Required |
System.String |
The Filter parameter requires an expression that specifies the property value criteria for the messages that you want to resume. The expression includes a property name that is followed by a comparison operator and value. The following message properties are valid criteria for the Filter parameter:
You can specify multiple filter criteria by using the -and comparison operator. Property values that are not expressed as a single integer must be enclosed in quotation marks. |
Identity |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.QueueViewer.MessageIdentity |
Use the Identity parameter to specify the MessageIdentity integer. This is an integer that represents a particular message, and an optional server and queue identity. The syntax for this parameter is as follows:
|
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm parameter causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm parameter. |
Server |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter |
Use the Server parameter to specify the name of the server to connect to by using remote procedure call (RPC) that contains the queues that hold the messages that you want to resume. Enter the Server parameter as a host name or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If this parameter is not used, the local server is queried. |
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf parameter instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf parameter, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf parameter. |

Example
The following example shows how to resume delivery of all messages that are in a suspended state and for which the following conditions are true:
The messages were sent from the specified sender's SMTP address.
The messages are queued on the Hub Transport server or the Edge Transport server on which the command is run.
The messages will expire before 3:00 p.m. on the date specified.
