Find A Specific Email Address in Exchange

Sometimes we want to know what mailbox is associated with a particular email address. Here is the easy way to find out.

Exchange 2003
For Exchange 2003, Neil Hobson writes a very good article on www.msexchange.org that makes the process very simple. You must be logged onto a PC or server that has both Active Directory tools and Exchange 2003 management tools installed. See the full article at http://www.msexchange.org/articles/finding-duplicate-smtp-addresses.html

One thing he doesn't specifically mention is that you can use wildcards, such as '*', in your search, which is handy when you don't know the exact address you're looking for.

Exchange 2007/2010
For newer versions of Exchange, simply open the Exchange Management Shell on your mail server and type the following command:
get-recipient emailaddress@domain.com
