Reporting on Exchange 2003

Andyt_uk · 27 Sep 2006 at 22:14

Basically I need to be able to pull some information from our exchange servers at work. I need to know what mailboxes there are on each mailserver and their respective email address. I would do it manually but theres around 500 and must be a better way.

Anybody know of any scripts, programs that enable you to run reports against exchange like this?

The place to start looking would be
http://www.msexchange.org/
I don't know if they have exactly what you're looking for, but there's a whole load of scripting articles in there.

EDIT: Even closer

sorry forgot to reply to this one.

Managed to get the information by quering AD instead with ADToolkit from Javelina Software if anyones interested. Lets you build your own custom reports which is quite cool.

I've just done this today on some old 5.5 boxes - it's just an export of the mailbox settings, then import into Excel.
Surely 2003 has the same feature ?

Nope.. Never made it to 2000... very annoying.

^^ golly, what a pain :eek:

(and I thought 5.5 was a bit lacking in tools...)

To be honest the majority of microsoft server products lack any clear methods of bulk administration, without having to trawl through their technet for a few hours.

However the ADToolkit I found seems to solve many of these issues.
