We are running Exchange 2010 SP2. Currently if I run the following powershell command Get-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database Name" | Get-MailboxStatistics | ft displayname,totaldeleteditemsize,totalitemsize The output I receive for the "TotelDeletedItemSize" is 3.373MB. If I right click my "Deleted Items" in Outlook 2010 I get the reported _Server Data Size_ of 425MB. Right now we permantely delete items in the "Deleted Items" folder every 90 days based on a retention policy. Can anyone tell me why the numbers are different from the powershell command and Outlook?

Can anyone tell me why the numbers are different from the powershell command and Outlook? Because the value reported by the get-mailboxstatistics is the size of the *recoverable* deleted items, not the size of the items that are still visible to you in the Deleted Items folder. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hello John, As far as I know, the TotalDeletedItemSize is the dumpster size, if you want to check the Deleted Items folder size, you can use this command to do that: Get-mailbox -identity usermailbox| Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope all | sort-object FolderSize -Descending| FT Identity, FolderSize -wrap Here is a related document for you: Get-MailboxFolderStatistics http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996762.aspx Thanks, Evan Liu TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com Evan Liu TechNet Community Support

Is there a way to get this same output for every mailbox on the system?

If you want to get the output for every mailbox on the system, you can use this command: Get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited| Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope all | sort-object FolderSize -Descending| FT Identity, FolderSize -wrap If you only need DeletedItems folder output for every mailbox on the system, you can use this command: Get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited| Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -FolderScope DeletedItems | sort-object FolderSize -Descending| FT Identity, FolderSize -wrap Thanks, Evan Liu TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contacttngfb@microsoft.com Evan Liu TechNet Community Support
