Is there any easy way to list for all maiboxes, the date it was created and the account owner (domain account)? Also, is there anyway to list mailboxes which are "full", i.e. reached their capacity, i.e. poor mailbox management or could be a stale/unneccesary mailbox?

Get-Mailbox | ft DisplayName,WhenCreated,SamAccountName Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxStatistics | ft DisplayName,TotalItemSize The second command won't tell you whether the user is near his limit, however. You'll need to get the UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults to find out if the mailbox has specific quotas or if it's using the mailbox database defaults. Then you have to get the ProhibitSendQuota and/or ProhibitSendAndReceiveQuota property of either the mailbox or the mailbox database as appropriate. That's a much more complicated script.

Thanks Excuse my ignorance, but what tool (or language) is used for running these commands? What priveleges are required to run these commands?

Hi, These commands are run in Exchange Management Shell tool. After you install Exchange server, the management tools will be installed automatically. Go to Start->All Programs->Microsoft Exchange Server->Exchange Management Shell, and then you can run these commands in it. Hope this helps.
