Thanks for listing the common message properties, it helped me. Do you know where to find a full list? For example, when I try to use search-mailbox with the “-searchdumpsteronly” switch, I would like to avoid pulling in all the old meeting notices and only pull in the message types. Is there a way to use the search-query to only pull the IPM.Note class items? I use this frequently to restore mailboxes from the purges folder, but I don’t want to restore calendar items.

Yes it works, you need to specify name of attachment
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery ‘Attachment:”some.pdf”‘ -TargetMailbox usermbx -TargetFolder PDFAttachments -LogOnly -LogLevel Full
or try this one:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery ‘Attachment:”some.pdf”‘ -TargetMailbox “usermbx” -TargetFolder “PDFAttachments” -LogOnly -LogLevel Full
