Is it possible to search Microsoft Exchange across all mail folders for a text string

If you mean all mail folders for one user, then the answer is yes, using Outlook. Go to Tools/Advanced Find. Click the Browse button and navigate to the top level (identified as Mailbox - ). Check the checkbox and make sure that 'Search subfolders' is checked. Change other options as needed (select 'subject field and message body' under 'In' if that's what you want). Then let 'er rip.

I hope this helps.

I need to search across all users folders with a single command and not to visit individual folders - similar to the MS Windows find command fo searching across directories.

Yes, that's exactly what this does. But it's all the folders for one user. I don't believe there's a way to do it for multiple users in one command.

Unfortunately this answer does not address the particlar question I had which was how do you perform a search across multiple users accounts at the same time.
