The Power of PowerShell

PowerShell offers a robust set of commands that give you precise control over the recovery of deleted items in Exchange Online. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps involved.

Step 1: Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell

$UserCredential = Get-Credential
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $UserCredential

Restore-RecoverableItems -Identity <SharedMailbox> -Filter {Subject -eq "SpecificSubject"} -ResultSize Unlimited
