Join Mike Pfeiffer for an in-depth discussion in this video Report On Database Size, part of PowerShell 2.0 for Exchange Server.
- Having the ability to check the database size…in your environment from a script is actually…really useful for reports or monitoring scripts.…And it's easy to do now in Exchange 2010.…It used to be not so easy in previous versions.…If I look at Get-MailboxDatabase on db1,…and I wanna just take a look at the…pads here for my databases.…Back in Exchange 2007, for example,…we'd have to write a script to get this kind of information.…and basically, go out and query the file path,…the .edb file path for each database,…and figure out the path for this,…and then we would run like a get-Item or get-ChildItem…against that, which would return an actual file size.…
So we basically had to write a complex script,…and then in the case of clustered servers,…that had a virtual server name,…then you were trying to access a path on a server, remotely,…that didn't actually respond to that kind of query.…It got really messy.…So the cool thing in Exchange 2010…is they made this easy for us.…We can do a get-MailboxDatabase,…specify the database name,…
