Tool for message tracking in Exchange 2010 is now called "Tracking Log Explorer"

I had been getting very frustrated with the tracking tools in Exchange 2010 as message tracking kept leading me to the Outlook Web App web interface, which I find unhelpful.

But then I found that what I'm used to seeing as Message Tracking is now called "Tracking Log Explorer" and near the same location.

Open Exchange Management Console -> Tools -> Tracking Log Explorer

It works the same was as Message Tracking in Exchange 2007

running message tracking on Exchange 2007 with wildcards

From what I can tell, the message tracking tool on Exchange 2007 does not allow wildcards like *@domain.com. I found this command which will allow you to use a wildcard value in the Exchange Shell:

get-messagetrackinglog -Server "Exchange-server-name" -Start "7/1/2010 11:34:00 AM" -End "8/10/2010 9:44:00 AM" -resultsize unlimited |where {$_.Sender -like "*@domain.org"}

This will allow you to get a list that uses the wildcard - but the results it gives you are pretty weak. It doesn't include dates and the subject is cut off, but it's a good place to start.
