Exchange attributes

[Guest]

Is there a way to pull info from a users exchange mailbox store. I am trying to get the mailbox size (total MB) and the total number of messages in the box.

Unfortunately we don't have a way to report on that information.

This information is not kept in Active Directory, however WMI can get to it if you access the MicrosoftExchangeV2 provider.

For a script sample, which shows you the Namespace and WMI properties, see:

Look at the section titled "List Exchange Mailbox Information"

You can create a new WMI query with the MicrosoftExchangeV2 namespace and use this same class name ("Exchange_Mailbox")

I forgot to mention that you would need the Enterprise Edition of Hyena to access this WMI class in Hyena, as well as having the Exchange Admin tools installed as well.

I grab this information from the ESM by navigating to:

Admingroup - Servers - Server Name - Storage Group - Mailbox Store - Mailboxes

Then click the "Export List" button or chose Export List from the actions pulldown. It dumps it into a .txt file and I bring that into Excel or Access.

Recently, my DB guy has installed SQL reporting services for 2005 and has been able to grab this info and publish it in a monthly report that gets emailed to me and saves me from this hassle.
