Checking Exchange 2010 Database Size Using A One-Liner…

Checking the size of the mailbox database is not easy in Exchange 2007. This is because of the fact that Get-MailboxDatabase doesn’t have the a databasesize attribute when used with the –Status switch.

Fortunately, things have changed in Get-MailboxDatabase command in Exchange 2010. In order to find the size of mailbox databases, run the following command

Get-MailboxDatabase –Status | fl name, databasesize

Get database size in Exchange 2010

Good that the command has been improved in 2010 to give the functionality out of the box!

Why select name if it is blank?

Hi Drew,

Name isn't blank. I just erased it from the screenshot. Name will show your database name.

Thanks.
