Get-MessageTrackingReport
This cmdlet is functional only in on-premises Exchange.
Use the Get-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to return data for a specific message tracking report. This cmdlet is used by the delivery reports feature.
In Exchange Online, delivery reports has been replaced by message trace (the Get-MessageTrace and Get-MessageTraceDetail cmdlets).
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

[-Identity] <MessageTrackingReportId>
[-BypassDelegateChecking]
[-DetailLevel <MessageTrackingDetailLevel>]
[-DomainController <Fqdn>]

[<CommonParameters>] Description
This cmdlet requires the ID for the message tracking report that you want to view. Therefore, first you need to use the Search-MessageTrackingReport cmdlet to find the message tracking report ID for a specific message, and then pass the results to this cmdlet. For more information, see Search-MessageTrackingReport.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
$Temp = Search-MessageTrackingReport -Identity "David Jones" -Recipients "[email protected]"
Get-MessageTrackingReport -Identity $Temp.MessageTrackingReportID -ReportTemplate SummaryThis example gets the message tracking report for messages sent from one user to another. This example returns the summary of the message tracking report for a message that David Jones sent to Wendy Richardson.
Example 2
Search-MessageTrackingReport -Identity "Cigdem Akin" -Sender "[email protected]" -ByPassDelegateChecking -DoNotResolve | ForEach-Object { Get-MessageTrackingReport -Identity $_.MessageTrackingReportID -DetailLevel Verbose -BypassDelegateChecking -DoNotResolve -RecipientPathFilter "[email protected]" -ReportTemplate RecipientPath }This example gets the message tracking report for the following scenario: The user Cigdem Akin was expecting an email message from [email protected] that never arrived. She contacted the Help desk, which needs to generate the message tracking report on behalf of Cigdem and doesn't need to see the display names.
This example searches the message tracking data for the specific message tracking reports and then returns detailed troubleshooting information for the specific recipient path.
Parameters
-BypassDelegateChecking
The BypassDelegateChecking switch allows Help desk staff and administrators to retrieve message tracking reports for any user. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
By default, each user can only see the message tracking reports for messages that they send or receive from their own mailbox. When you use this switch, you can view the message tracking reports for message exchanges among other users.
