As of Sept. 1, 2025, Microsoft began deprecating the Get-MessageTrace and Get-MessageTraceDetail cmdlets for tenants in the Microsoft 365 global cloud and has replaced it with the Get-MessageTraceV2 and Get-MesageTraceDetailV2 cmdlets.
This article will explore the implications of this change and what you can do to ensure uninterrupted access to the Exchange Reporter Plus reports that used to rely on this cmdlet.
Exchange Reporter Plus was using the Get-MessageTrace and Get-MessageTraceDetail cmdlets for certain audits and report actions.
The affected reports and audit actions will be migrated to the Get-MessageTraceV2 cmdlet in the Exchange Reporter Plus build 5726, except for the following reports, which will no longer be available in Exchange Reporter Plus:
| Module | Category | Report |
| Audit | Mail Trace | All Mail Trace |
| Delivered Mails | ||
| Expanded MailTrace | ||
| Failed Mails | ||
| Pending Mails | ||
| Report | Compliance Reports | Mails Received by Shared Mailbox |
| Mails Sent by Shared Mailbox | ||
| Mail Traffic Reports | Delivered vs Undelivered | |
| Distribution List Mail Summary | ||
| Email Activity By Group | ||
| Email Activity by User | ||
| Undelivered Emails | ||
| User To User Email Activity | ||
| Mailbox Reports | Mail-Enabled Security Groups Messages | |
| Other Exchange Reports | Distribution List Message by Subject | |
| Inactive DL by Last Mail Activity | ||
| Inactive DL by Last Received Mail | ||
| Inactive DL by Last Sent Mail | ||
| Inactive Shared Mailboxes by Last Received Mail | ||
| Distribution list mail summary | ||
| Last Mail Activity by Mail Enabled Groups |
If you use any of the affected reports, you should update your Exchange Reporter Plus instance to the build 5726 to ensure uninterrupted access.
Apart from this, no other action is required from your end for a seamless Exchange reporting experience. All other Exchange Reporter Plus functions remain unaffected.
