list email users (E2k7)

<disclaimer – this is not my work – I horked it from somewhere, I am just sharing it>

Do you have a lot of users? Do you wish you could list them by size, name, number of items?

Get-MailboxStatistics | sort-object -descending totalItemSize | select -first 5 | ft DisplayName, @{expression={$_.totalitemsize.value.ToMB()};label=”Mailbox Size(MB)”}, itemcount, lastlogontime

Change the “select -first 5″ to whatever number you like.

ws08 hibernate

Believe it or not, the ws08 server comes with hibernation turned on.

And you cannot turn it off from the gui.

Turn it off from the CLI 

Powercfg /hibernate off

I understand that maybe working with UPS units might be a good option to use hibernate – it may come back to life faster and with no service startup issues.

But what if you have a server with 16GB RAM and all of a sudden you have this hibernate.fil sitting on the root of C?

Wow. 

E2k7 Powershell commands 1

 display mailbox stats by name, item count, total size, host server

 I get asked how to view simple stats in Exchange 2007 – like which are the biggest mailboxes? Or, who has the greatest number of items.

Here are a few powershell commands you can use.   

Get-MailboxServer | Get-MailboxStatistics | select displayname,itemcount,totalitemsize | ConvertTo-HTML | Out-File C:\Test.htm 

get-mailbox | get-mailboxstatistics | FT displayname, itemcount, totalitemsize, servername 

get-mailbox | get-mailboxstatistics | select-object displayname,itemcount,totalitemsize | export-csv c:\mailboxsurvey2.csv 

get-mailbox jweber | get-mailboxstatistics | select-object displayname, itemcount, totalitemsize, lastloggedonuser, lastlogontime, lastlogofftime, servername, databasename | export-csv c:\exchangereports\userstats.csv
