Hi
Is there away to output the total number of mailboxes. I can get the total for each mail store but i can't find away to total them up so i can quickly see how many users/mailboxes there are on each server.

I'm running EX2K3.

Thanks

You can use WMI to script against Exchange 2003.

Thanks, I'v already used that before, but i was kinda looking at away to total all of that together i thought of using the Select-Object MailboxCount but that doen't seem to be working.

If you just need a really simple count, you can simply do this:
PS> (my_powershell_commands).count

Thanks for that here is what i have come up with.

$ComputerName = "lon03",
foreach ($Store in $ComputerName){
$Total = (Get-WmiObject Exchange_Mailbox -NameSpace Root\MicrosoftExchangeV2 -ComputerName $ComputerName | Select-Object StoreName).count
Write-Host $Store ":" $Total "users"
}

Which out-puts

lon03 : 2649 users

This is correct, the only problem i'm now having is that i have another 3 servers, but if i add them to the $ComputerName =, the output is just all the servers added together. I need a way to split them up in to each server.

e.g.
lon03 : 2649 users
lon04 : xxxx users
lon04 : xxxx users
lon05 : xxxx users

OK, there's a problem with your logic.

Maybe this is what you meant to do:
$ComputerName = "lon03","lon04","lon05"
foreach ($Store in $ComputerName){
$Total = (Get-WmiObject Exchange_Mailbox -NameSpace Root\MicrosoftExchangeV2 -ComputerName $ComputerName | Where {$_.StoreName} -eq $store).count
Write-Host $Store ":" $Total "users"
}

If that performs slowly, there's optimizations that can be done:
$ComputerName = "lon03","lon04","lon05"
$mailboxes=Get-WmiObject Exchange_Mailbox -NameSpace Root\MicrosoftExchangeV2 -ComputerName $ComputerName
foreach ($Store in $ComputerName){
$Total = ( $mailboxes| Where {$_.StoreName} -eq $store).count
Write-Host $Store ":" $Total "users"
}

I'm getting an error with both versions the below is the one from the bottom version.

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'eq'.
At :line:4 char:47
+ $Total = ($mailboxes | Where {$_.StoreName} -eq <<<< $Store).count

Bah! Sorry!

This part:
"Where {$_.StoreName} -eq $store).count"

Should be:
Where {$_.StoreName -eq $store}).count

Dam should have see that. No errors now but $Total is not showing a value.
