Get individual message size for all Exchange 2010 users

  • 772

I need to make a report with a list of the largest messages on an Exchange 2010 server. I looked through the commands that I could use, and Get-MailboxStatistics isn't granular enough - I need to find individual messages >25MB and print their size, user account, and subject. This is for a migration to Google Apps, so I can figure out who (if anyone) has these huge emails Apps won't accept.

  1. From what I can see, you can use Multi-Mailbox Search in conjunction with Advanced Query Syntax to perform a search of specific characteristics. I don't have much else to give you but those pointers.

  2. Ideally I'd want to be able to do something with Powershell. The only thing I could come up with is the following:

    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery “Size:>25MB” -TargetMailbox SomeMailbox -TargetFolder Export -LogOnly -LogLevel Full

    This would give you a log entry for of all the messages that meet your criteria in whatever mailbox you specify (in this case SomeMailbox) in the Export folder. The -LogOnly parameter makes sure it doesn't actually copy the messages in question to the specified mailbox/folder.
