Exchange Online Reports

In PowerShell there is no separate cmdlet to find out Exchange mailbox size directly as it is considered as apart of mailbox statistics information. Hence, you must use the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet to find out the size of a particular mailbox. You can use the -Object <total item size> parameter for the same. But, it is difficult to find out the mailbox size changes and compare it with the quota limits using PowerShell codes.

Example PowerShell cmdlets to find out mailbox size:

1. Get-MailboxStatistics [Harry] | ft DisplayName, TotalItemSize

This cmdlet displays the user name and mailbox size for the user Harry.

2. Get-MailboxStatistics -Server erpex13-mbx | Sort-Object TotalItemsize –Descending

This cmdlet helps to sort the mailboxes in the server erpex13-mbx in descending order based on their size.
