Deleting A single e-mail from all e-mail accounts in Exchange 2013 via EMC

Found this:

Search-Mailbox -Identity "April Stewart" -SearchQuery 'Subject:"Your bank statement"' -TargetMailbox administrator -TargetFolder "SearchAndDeleteLog" -LogOnly -LogLevel Full -DeleteContent

but I want it to apply to all mailboxes. Simultaneously searching, but figured I should ask here as well.

Someone sent a bank statement to the everyone group?

We found HR documents with people's Social Security numbers in a document everyone has read access to at a place yesterday. Wasn't caught because whoever put the document together used a screenshot, but didn't take an extra 10 seconds to black out that one section. Great times.

Do you have the MailboxImportExport Role assigned to your user?

Unsure what we have setup here. Haven't played with exchange yet

Add your user to the group

New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role "Mailbox Import Export" –User "username"

Then Close the Exchange EMC and then open it again and run the search.

What about wildcards @dbeato?

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'Subject:"Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'Subject:"Random characters* other stuff"' –DeleteContent"' –DeleteContent

It should work.

'Subject:"Random characters* other stuff"'

so this?

'Subject:"*other stuff"'

Correct. DO a search first and see the results and then proceed to deletion.
