How to identify which Server Schedule job running from a Email it generates!!!!!!

Good day All!!!

We had some Schedule job setup for VMware capacity to be reported via Email every week for like 5 Virtual center and we needed some modification to be done on the job so team started to search for it.

Team started to search on lot of Servers including our Virtual Centers to check where is the Schedule job setup and they had no clue to identify it as this was setup long time ago.. and finally this came to me.. Does anyone guessed? how to trace back the Server which is generating that mail?

If anyone guessed Internet Header then yes you are absolutely right!!!!!!!!!

We had outlook 2013, in case you don't know how to check the Internet Header , Open the message, click on that little arrow in the Tags and that will pull the properties page with Internet headers .

Now copy the text to a notepad and look for something called "Received: From " that will show you the host name and IP Address of the Server which was sending the mail out... Ola! resolved!!!!





Hope this helps someone!!!!!!!!!!
