Get-MessageIDs - '-Output Y' Does not work

[DoubtfulTurnip]

When using the following command as per the documentation.

Get-MessageIDs -StartDate {STARTDATE} -EndDate {ENDDATE} -sessions {SESSIONID} -outputdir $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\
 -output Y

No output is provided in the given directory

Removing '-output Y' (which I understand is the default anyway) ensures that output is written to the desired folder.

Also for Get-MessageIDs and Get-Sessions, the documentation infers (although I'd agree that it might just be ambiguous) that the format for start and end date is dd/mm/yyyy however I seem to find that it is mm/dd/yyyy which does seem to be inconsistent with other commands. This could just be something I am doing wrong but I figured that by including this here I will be able to get some clarification if so.

Write-ErrorMessage : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'StartDate'. Cannot convert value "30/12/2024" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.ExchangeSystem.ExDateTime". Error: "String '30/12/2024' was not recognized as a valid DateTime."

Hi, it's a switch parameter, meaning you don't have to put "Y" or "N" behind it. If you run it with just -output, it should work. Will update the docs for this as well.

Thanks for pointing out the documentation issue. We will update it to make it more consistent with the rest.
The example currently follows the format we use (The Netherlands): dd/mm/yyyy, which makes it more confusing.
