Exchange 2016 – Error in message tracking
One of the normal operation as exchange administrator is tracking messages that may be needed for investigating delay or un-delivery of messages.
You may face an issue while search for the message as the following warning:
”
The message-tracking data on server mxtest.domain.local had invalid data in column 12 for this message. Event “THROTTLE” will be ignored
”
This may be due to corrupt message tracking logs in the following path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking
Please try to search another mailbox and check if there is the same issue. If still the same, I recommend you use the following command to change the message tracking logs path :
Set-TransportService -Identity MailboxServerName -MessageTrackinglogPath “New Path”
Then, use the mailbox to send & receive few messages, and search delivery reports again to check if any issue still exists.
