Exchange 2010 - How to create report about biggest mailboxes exportied to .csv

If you need to identify users that have bigger mailboxes size you can use these scripts on your exchange server:


First 100 mailboxes

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxStatistics | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | Select-Object DisplayName,TotalItemSize -First 100  | Export-Csv -Path "c:\Top100mailboxusersSize_1_00.csv" -Delimiter ";"

All mailboxes


Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxStatistics | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | Select-Object DisplayName,TotalItemSize  | Export-Csv -Path "c:\AllmailboxusersSize_1_00.csv" -Delimiter ";"

Meanwhile you could be interested to get, for each mailboxes, relatives limits that was setting up on Exchange server

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object DisplayName,Database,IssueWarningQuota,ProhibitSendQuota,ProhibitSendReceiveQuota |  Export-Csv -Path "c:\AllmailboxusersIssueWarning_1_00.csv" -Delimiter ";"

So in this specific case you will get two .csv reports.

AllmailboxusersIssueWarning_1_00.csv
AllmailboxusersSize_1_00.csv

You can merge these files importing these .csv files in a single excel file and and use this Excel File function:

CERCA.VERT(A13;AllMailboxexLimits!1:1048576;3;FALSO)

In english function name should be find.vert

Where A13 is our Mailboxes user name and first column (AllmailboxusersSize_1_00.csv) 

Where AllMailboxexLimits!1:1048576 is second Excel tab imported (AllmailboxusersIssueWarning_1_00.csv)

Where 3  is the relavive IssueWarningQuota found in second Excel tab imported (AllmailboxusersIssueWarning_1_00.csv)

You can repeat this task for other values:

ProhibitSendQuota
ProhibitSendReceiveQuota
