In this case I’ll simply look through all email data. Give the new Content Search a title and select the locations where you wish to search. You start by creating a new Content Search by pressing the + icon as shown above. You need to be an administrator with appropriate rights to access this area. The way to actually see what the contents of the Teams chats are is to use the Content Discovery component of the Security & Compliance center in Office 365 which you’ll find under the Search & Investigation heading on left hand side. So I know my command does work, it just doesn’t work with a Microsoft Teams mailbox.Īgain, just changing mailbox identity confirms that the command can’t even see the mailbox. If I use that same command on another ‘standard’ shared mailbox the command works. Get-mailfolderpermission –identity again get the message that the mailbox doesn’t exist. I get the message that the mailbox doesn’t exist. Get-mailbox –groupmailbox | get-mailfolderpermission So now if I try to view/change the permissions on the mailbox using: I can’t add this shared mailbox to Outlook 2016 on my desktop as you can see above. However, I can’t get the folder \Conversation History\Team Chat because it is hidden and probably has other permissions associated with it. Now I can actually add this mailbox to my Outlook Web Access and view the contents as you can see above. You can see there is currently 344 items of 4.38 MB in size. This is indeed where the chats are located. I basically get a report of what is inside that Teams mailbox. Get-mailbox –groupmailbox | get-mailboxstatistics | select-object identity, itemsinfolder, foldersize So this is the one that is linked to my Microsoft Team. Get-mailbox –groupmailbox you can see that I again get all the information but just for that mailbox. I see all the shared mailboxes in my tenant.Īs you can see I find one called “Patrons” as shown above. So I’m looking for a mailbox called “Patrons”.Įasiest way is to fire up trusty PowerShell and run:Īnd as you can see from the results above, I only see user mailboxes. You’ll see from the above that it is part of a link that was pasted into the chat.Īll the chat history from Microsoft Teams is saved into a mailbox with the name of the Team. In short, how do I see chat history in Microsoft Teams?Īs an example, let’s say I want to find the term ‘kodak’ in these chats. In this area CIAOPS Patrons chat about things such a cryptocurrency as you can see.Īs an administrator what I want to do is find out how I can view information that is shared by others in this chat location. I have a Microsoft Team in my tenant called “Patrons”.
