Rule version EX16-MB-000090 · STIG v2 · 2023-12-18

Discussion

A message tracking log provides a detailed log of all message activity as messages are transferred to and from a computer running Exchange.

If events are not recorded, it may be difficult or impossible to determine the root cause of system problems or the unauthorized activities of malicious users.

Check

Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:

Get-Transportservice | Select Name, MessageTrackingLogEnabled

If the value of MessageTrackingLogEnabled is not set to True, this is a finding.

Fix

Open the Exchange Management Shell and enter the following command:

Set-Transportservice <IdentityName> -MessageTrackingLogEnabled $true

Note: The <IdentityName> value must be in quotes.
