WEBVTT 00:06.070 --> 00:13.010 This leader we are going to take a look at how we can verify the size of the mailbox databases. 00:13.030 --> 00:17.840 This is fairly simple and the information can be easily retrieved. 00:17.860 --> 00:19.920 You don't get mailbox database. 00:19.930 --> 00:21.920 Come on let this reader reveal. 00:22.030 --> 00:29.260 Take a look at how to report on mailbox database size using the Exchange management shell for exchange 00:29.260 --> 00:34.510 2006 team to retrieve the total size for each mailbox database. 00:34.630 --> 00:36.380 Use the following command. 00:36.550 --> 00:45.470 Get mailbox database destitutes and pipe it to a select object certain by name and database size their 00:45.490 --> 00:48.590 output for this command will look like mine. 00:48.730 --> 00:52.070 They've got name calling and database size going. 00:52.180 --> 01:00.290 Now one run to get mailbox database commands that we can use the state or switch parameter to receive 01:00.340 --> 01:08.230 additional information about the database such as Mount St. Louis Lebec upstaters and the total size 01:08.230 --> 01:15.910 of the database as shown in the previous example to generate a report with this information simply pipe 01:15.910 --> 01:23.230 the command to the experts this week a month left and specify the path and file name has shown that 01:23.230 --> 01:27.790 misfeature to the IAC and show the example. 01:27.820 --> 01:36.820 So we've got get mailbags mail box database with status parameter and pipe it to select object certain 01:36.820 --> 01:45.640 by name server database size mounted state and pipe it to experts since we specify the paths to the 01:45.640 --> 01:46.500 file. 01:46.510 --> 01:53.390 In my case it's Seacole on backslash database report that says we lose time we are divided. 01:53.440 --> 01:57.060 The server name and mounted information. 01:57.070 --> 02:04.720 So we've got Saro name that the database is currently associated with and the MT status for their database. 02:04.720 --> 02:12.940 When we are in the well for the database size you probably noticed that we see the total size of megabytes 02:12.940 --> 02:21.070 and in parenthesis we see the value in bytes rather than just say in a single intermural for the total 02:21.070 --> 02:21.750 size. 02:21.810 --> 02:30.550 The database size property is of the type byte quantified size and we can use several methods provided 02:30.550 --> 02:34.010 by this type to convert the value. 02:34.180 --> 02:42.830 If all we want is to retrieve a numeric representation of the database size for example we can use the 02:43.100 --> 02:54.070 two kilobyte to be to G-B and 2 TB methods of the database size subject to convert the well to kilobytes 02:54.100 --> 02:57.310 megabytes gigabytes or terabytes. 02:57.310 --> 03:00.360 For example we can type the following command. 03:00.490 --> 03:09.730 Get mailbox database stateliest and pipe it to select object certain by name and add in a custom property 03:10.030 --> 03:14.770 where we want our database size in megabytes. 03:14.770 --> 03:21.270 As you can see this time we have created a calculated property for the database size and we are using 03:21.270 --> 03:26.980 only 2 megabyte method to convert the value of the database. 03:26.980 --> 03:31.740 The output we get from that command would look something like mine. 03:31.780 --> 03:37.930 We get database name column and database size in megabytes. 03:37.930 --> 03:44.530 This technique may be useful if you are looking to generate a basic reports that you don't need to have 03:44.560 --> 03:48.710 all of the extra information that is returned by default. 03:48.730 --> 03:56.200 For instance you may already know that your databases will always be in the range of hundreds of gigabytes. 03:56.200 --> 04:03.880 You can simply use a calculated property as shown in the previous example and called to and call the 04:04.120 --> 04:07.990 two G-B Masset for each database size Sobchak.
