Exchange disk statistics

Posted on 28.05.2014 by Filip

Here is a tip how to gather disk statistics such as
CapacityGB, FreeSpaceGB, FreeSpace% for all disks in your Exchange organization.

$vols = @()
Get-ExchangeServer | % { 
$comp = $_.Name
$vols += Get-WmiObject -computername $comp -query "select Name, DriveType, FileSystem, FreeSpace,   Capacity, Label from Win32_Volume where DriveType = 2 or DriveType = 3" | select @{Name='Server';Expression={$comp}},Label,Name,@{Name='CapacityGB';Expression={$_.Capacity/1GB}},@{Name='FreeSpaceGB';Expression={$_.FreeSpace/1GB}},@{Name='FreeSpace%';Expression={($_.FreeSpace*100)/$_.Capacity}}
}
$vols | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter ";" -path "E:\ExchangeDiskreport.csv"

Log Search script

Posted on 28.05.2014 by zbycha

This is just a small easy script to search log content in defined location and time range for string value. If you know what to search in many log files, it can help you to narrow search.

#logsearch
#Author: Zbynek Salon
#Path to search
$path = "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\FrontEnd\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive"
#What to search (the best would be for example e-mail address for some SMTP log)
$str = "PRX5"
#Range (Start must be lower then end)
$start = "5/25/2014 8:00AM"
$end = "5/28/2014 9:00AM"
Get-ChildItem $path | where {($_.LastWriteTime -gt $Start) -and ($_.LastWriteTime -lt $End)} | foreach {$_
 $x = Get-Content -Path "$($path)\$_"
 if ($x -like "*$($str)*"){Write-Host "$_ contains $($str)" -ForegroundColor Green}
}

Script to gather FullAccess and SendAs permissions

Posted on 19.05.2014 by zbycha

I wrote this script to gather FullAccess and SendAs permissions to divide mailboxes into logical batches. May be somebody find it helpful.

#Purpose of this script is to gather full access and Send-As permissions of all mailboxes in organization
