Getting information from Exchange Server 2003?

Question

In Exchange Server 2007 and later i.e. Exchange Server 2010,2013 , i have find all the information related to Exchange like, name of all the mailboxes and distribution groups using cmdlet commands as

get-mailbox

get-distributiongroup 

All these I can achieve using Exchange Management Shell commands in Exchange Server 2007, 2010, 2013.

How can i retrieve all the data like mailboxes, mailuser, Message delivery reports, all email addresses on the server in exchange server 2003. And how to select only meaningful attributes.

For example:

get list of message that have subject like "Exchange server"

get-messagetrackinglog -messagesubject "Exchange server"

this gives me information about sender, receiver, and many more attributes of all the messages that have message subject "Exchange server" ,

How can i find this type of information in Exchange Server 2003. Could I use ADSI editor for all these information.

Answer 1

You can use WMI for this, for WMI please click here. The message tracking log class found here.

Answer 2

I suspect you can't use ADSI against Exchange Server 2003 to retrieve this kind of data. Alternatively, you could look at articles about Microsoft Exchange Free/Busy architecture. Here is one:
