Tools for administering Exchange

Hi,

Rather than look for a free tool it may be easier to use Exchange Management Shell to do the job, you could even schedule the task.

For Mailbox sizes something like:

Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "yourmailDBname" | Select DisplayName, ItemCount, TotalItemSize | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | Export-CSV C:\MailboxSizes.csv

and for the Public Folders there's a script here to check permissions:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19163668/exporting-public-folder-clientaccesspermissions-to-csv

I've not tested it but it looks ok to me.  You can just change the .CSV to be a proper path and put a -Whatif on the end to test the script runs as required.

Regards,

Ian

Hello, can u advice me a free tool or utility for this 2 goals?

1) I need a list with all users permissions on all Public Folders. It is not comfortable to look on every Folder and write all permissions from it. I need a program to view and export Users Permissions in Public Folders.

ExFolders Tool can export permissions for Public Folders, but it can export permissions with users login, but i need to export permissions with users real name.

2) I need to view sizes of all mailboxes, to see when free space runs out. It is not comfortable to look in every mailbox. 

Thanks.

Sorry not sure what you mean. <o:p></o:p>

Do you want to remove the Users permissions that are left over on the Public Folders?<o:p></o:p>

If that is the case then there are scripts built in with Exchange that you can use.<o:p></o:p>

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123522(v=exchg.141).aspx<o:p></o:p>

The one you would want is:<o:p></o:p>

RemoveUserFromPFRecursive.ps1 -Server "SERVER01" -TopPublicFolder -"\Sales\Oregon" -User "David"<o:p></o:p>

which will remove the user "David" from the Public Folder "\Sales\Oregon" and all subfolders.

<o:p>Is this what you meant?</o:p>
