The Downside of Losing the Exchange Mailbox Audit Search Cmdlets

Microsoft recently announced the deprecation of the Exchange cmdlets to search for mailbox audit data. The audit data is ingested into the Microsoft 365 unified audit log, but it’s more difficult to find and retrieve Exchange mailbox audit events. Methods are available to find mailbox audit data, but interpreting what comes back is different. Any script that depends on the old cmdlets must be updated to interact with the unified audit log.
