Showing information about a Exchange 2003 user in Powershell

Haven't posted any 2003 scripts for a while so here's one that might be useful especially if your looking at doing a bit of documentation before a migration. There are a few tricks when your using ADSI scripts to get information eg if you want to get the OU check the parent object of the userObject. Or if you want to get the Storage Group use the Parent of the MailStore object. If you want to work out quotas check both the mailstore and the user object. To put this all together into a script that takes the username as a parameter it looks like this I've put a download of this code here.

param([String] $samaccountname)
$root = [ADSI]'LDAP://RootDSE'
$dfDefaultRootPath = "LDAP://" + $root.DefaultNamingContext.tostring()
$dfRoot = [ADSI]$dfDefaultRootPath
$gfGALQueryFilter = "(&(&(&(& (mailnickname=*)(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(samaccountname=" + $samaccountname + ")))))"
$dfsearcher = new-object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($dfRoot)
$dfsearcher.Filter = $gfGALQueryFilter
$srSearchResult = $dfsearcher.FindOne()
if ($srSearchResult -ne $null){
$uoUserobject = $srSearchResult.GetDirectoryEntry()
$msStore = [ADSI]("LDAP://" + $uoUserobject.homemdb)
$soServer = [ADSI]("LDAP://" + $msStore.msExchOwningServer)
$sgStorageGroup = $msStore.psbase.Parent
$ffEdbFileFilter = "name='" + $msStore.msExchEDBFile.ToString().replace("\","\\") + "'"
$ffStmFileFilter = "name='" + $msStore.msExchSLVFile.ToString().replace("\","\\") + "'"
$mbEdbSize =get-wmiobject CIM_Datafile -filter $ffEdbFileFilter -ComputerName $soServer.Name
$mbStmSize =get-wmiobject CIM_Datafile -filter $ffStmFileFilter -ComputerName $soServer.Name
[int64]$csCombinedSize = [double]$mbEdbSize.FileSize + [int64]$mbStmSize.FileSize
$msFilter = "LegacyDN='" + $uoUserobject.legacyExchangeDN + "'"
$mbsize = get-wmiobject -class Exchange_Mailbox -Namespace ROOT\MicrosoftExchangev2 -filter $msFilter -ComputerName $soServer.Name
$divval = ($csCombinedSize/1024)/100
$pcStore = ($mbsize.size/$divval)/100
"User DisplayName : " + $uoUserobject.displayName
"OU DisplayName : " + $uoUserobject.psbase.Parent.Name
"OU DistinguishedName : " + $uoUserobject.psbase.Parent.DistinguishedName
"Mail Server : " + $soServer.Name
"Exchange Version : " + $soServer.SerialNumber
"Mailbox Store : " + $msStore.Name
"Storage Group : " + $sgStorageGroup.Name
"MailStore Size : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($csCombinedSize/1GB) + " GB"
"Mailbox Size : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($mbsize.Size/1KB) + " MB"
"Percentage of Store Used by User : " + "{0:P1}" -f $pcStore
""
"Quotas"
""
"User Quotas"
""
"mDBStorageQuota : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($uoUserobject.mDBStorageQuota.Value/1KB) + " MB"
"mDBOverQuotaLimit : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($uoUserobject.mDBOverQuotaLimit.Value/1KB) + " MB"
"mDBOverHardQuotaLimit : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($uoUserobject.mDBOverHardQuotaLimit.Value/1KB) + " MB"
""
"Store Quotas "
"mDBStorageQuota : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($msStore.mDBStorageQuota.Value/1KB) + " MB"
"mDBOverQuotaLimit : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($msStore.mDBOverQuotaLimit.Value/1KB) + " MB"
"mDBOverHardQuotaLimit : " + "{0:#.00}" -f ($msStore.mDBOverHardQuotaLimit.Value/1KB) + " MB"

The MailboxConcurrency limit and using Batching in the Microsoft Graph API

If your getting an error such as Application is over its MailboxConcurrency limit while using the Microsoft Graph API this post may help you understand why. Background   The Mailbox  concurrency limit when your using the Graph API is 4 as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/throttling#outlook-service-limits . This is evaluated for each app ID and mailbox combination so this means you can have different apps running under the same credentials and the poor behavior of one won't cause the other to be throttled. If you compared that to EWS you could have up to 27 concurrent connections but they are shared across all apps on a first come first served basis. Batching Batching in the Graph API is a way of combining multiple requests into a single HTTP request. Batching in the Exchange Mail API's EWS and MAPI has been around for a long time and its common, for email Apps to process large numbers of smaller items for a variety of reasons.  Batching in the Gr...

Exporting and Uploading Mailbox Items using Exchange Web Services using the new ExportItems and UploadItems operations in Exchange 2010 SP1

Two new EWS Operations ExportItems and UploadItems where introduced in Exchange 2010 SP1 that allowed you to do a number of useful things that where previously not possible using Exchange Web Services. Any object that Exchange stores is basically a collection of properties for example a message object is a collection of Message properties, Recipient properties and Attachment properties with a few meta properties that describe the underlying storage thrown in. Normally when using EWS you can access these properties in a number of a ways eg one example is using the strongly type objects such as emailmessage that presents the underlying properties in an intuitive way that's easy to use. Another way is using Extended Properties to access the underlying properties directly. However previously in EWS there was no method to access every property of a message hence there is no way to export or import an item and maintain full fidelity of every property on that item (you could export the...
