Extract List of User Mailbox Data using vbScript

If you need to export a list of user mailboxes (because your boss is making you or you simply have nothing better to do), it is quite an easy task if you have Exchange 2007 and up because of PowerShell snapins.

You can just fire up PowerShell and import the Exchange 2010 Module.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

Then:

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxStatistics | select-object Database, DisplayName, TotalItemSize, TotalDeletedItemSize | Sort-Object Database

Or you can export to CSV like so:

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxStatistics | select-object Database, DisplayName, TotalItemSize, TotalDeletedItemSize | Sort-Object Database | Export-Csv .\Mailboxes.CSV -NoTypeInformation

But what if you're still in survival mode with Exchange 2003?

You can use this script should you need to extract the list of user mailboxes from one or more Exchange 2003 servers. 

This script will cough-out the following Fields.

• ServerName
• StorageGroupName
• StoreName
• MailboxGUID
• MailboxDisplayName
• LegacyDN
• Size
• TotalItems
• AssocContentCount
• DeletedMessageSizeExtended
• StorageLimitInfo
• LastLoggedOnUserAccount
• LastLogOnTime
• LastLogOffTime
• DateDiscoveredAbsentAbsentDaysInDS

This script reads the list of servers to be queried from a file called ServerList.ini.
Be sure to create this file and populate it with the server names before running this script. 

It runs in this order:

1. Read list of server from ServerList.ini
2. Query each servers and extract information
3. Save information to "ExchangeMBX.txt"

Domino Server Data Collector [DISCONTINUED]

NOTE: This project has been discontinued and there are no longer any plans to update this.

Similar to my Exchange Server Data Collector, this one is designed for Domino Server instead.

I made this with .NET, with Lotus Notes COM component.
If you'd ask why didn't I just make this in LotusScript as an agent, well here are my answers.

• I hate LotusScript
• I hate Domino
• I hate Lotus Notes
• If Domino is acting up, the Agent may not work
• If Domino is acting up, the email report or error notification may not be sent.

Those are why I created this independent from any Domino components (or DDM).

What does this do?

This utility collects the following information:

• Queue information like Pending, Hold, Dead mail status in each of routing mailboxes.
• Disk space information of the server.
• Number of mailbox with statistics for Over quota, Warning and Normal. 

 

There are two programs in this project:

• Dominator.exe - The main executable that collects information from the domino server.
• SecureStrings.exe - Tool to encrypt the Notes.ID password that will be in the configuration file of the main executable.

How does this work?

• Read contents of "config.ini"
• Connect to the specified server
• Login to Domino Server using the ID specified in Notes.INI
• Extract Queue information
• Extract Disk space information
• Extract Mailbox information
• Generate report
• Send HTML report via email if enabled

What do I need to use this?

• A computer with Lotus Notes installed and configured with the user ID that have proper access to the Domino Server.
• .NET Framework 2.0 installed
• The program: http://sdrv.ms/Y3w9SI
• You know how to use the Command Prompt

How do I use this?

• Configure your Lotus Notes client PC. This utility will use the "last used" Notes.ID in the notes.ini file to connect to the Domino Server.
• Download the program package here and save/extract to whichever folder you choose. http://sdrv.ms/Y3w9SI
• Modify the CONFIG.INI to input the correct values.
• Run the SecureStrings.exe program to encrypt the Notes.ID password that you will put in the CONFIG.INI

 

• Run DOMINATOR.exe

What's in the CONFIG.INI?

===========================================
[OPTIONS]
;This is the DOMINO server
DSvrName=DOM01/LabWorks

;This is the HOSTNAME
WSvrName=DOM01

;Indicate here the number of routing mailboxes
NumMailBox=1

;Here you put the encrypted password for the NOTES.ID (use the securestrings.exe tool to encryt)
NotesPassword=FZ+/8l+pS2n2bX3eszbrgA==

[SMTP]
;Specify only ONE SMTP server IP and PORT
SMTPServerIP=127.0.0.1
SMTPServerPort=25

;Populate this item if the SMTP server requires authentication, usually this is not the case.
;Accepted values are only TRUE or FALSE
AuthRequired=False

;If AuthRequired=True, you need to fill in this information for the login credentials.
;The format is DOMAIN;UserName;Password
Creds=

[REPORT]
;The company name to appear in the report
CompanyName=LabWorks

;Sender="Display Name"

;The program will automatically append the DATE and TIME in this string
ReportTitle=DOM01 Status Report as of

;This item indicates if the program will send the report via email
;EmailReport= True or False
EmailReport=False

;This can be any value. This is needed so that the email report will be less likely to be considered as spam.
XMailer=Dominator by june.castillote@gmail.com

;This will be the prefix of the HTML output file. The date and time will automatically be appended.
ReportFile=LabWorks_

;The value which will be considered normal for the mail queue, anything above the value specified here will be shown as critical.
QueueThreshold=100

;The value which will be considered normal for the disk space free percentage, anything above the value specified here will be shown as critical.
DiskThreshold=15
