Exchange Information Store Backup with Cleanup and Email Report

1. What is MSExchangeISBackup.exe Tool?

This is a customizable program for Exchange Information Store backup purposes.

The tool is only suitable for backup to file operation. (For Exchange 2003)

This program, when executed, calls the native backup capability of the NTBackup utility in Windows to execute a backup task for the Exchange Server Information Store. Additionally, after the backup task is complete, it reads the logs to determine whether the backup was successful or not. Then it performs a purge operation of older backup file based on the retention days specified in the configuration file. A report is also sent to the intended recipients via email. These features eliminate the need to check for completion or successful backup manually; and take care of housekeeping of old backup files based on retention value.

This can also be set as Scheduled Task to run daily or whenever is required.

2. What are the system requirements?

·         .Net Framework 2.0

·         Windows 2003

·         Exchange 2003

3. What are the required user permissions?

·         Access to the location/drive/path where the backup files will be saved.

·         The tool is expected to be handled, used and configured by the Administrators.

4. Where can I get the program?

Download:  http://sdrv.ms/19629l7

5. Installation/Configuration

·         Download and Extract the zip to any folder. In this example, it is saved in C:\MSExchangeISBackup\

·         Create the Backup Selection File using NTBackup.exe

o    Click Start > Run > NTBackup.exe

o    Select the Server and Information Store for backup.

o     Click Job > Save Selection As

o    Save the BKS file. In this example, it is saved in C:\MSExchangeISBackup\DevSvr01-IS.bks

o    Modify the INI file. In this example, we are configuring the config.ini file.

[OPTIONS]

;the path for NTBACKUP.exe

NTBUPathName=C:\Windows\System32\ntbackup.exe

;the folder where the Backup Selection is located. (*.BKS)

BKSDir=C:\MSEXchangeISBackup\

;the filename of the backup selection file

BKSFile=DevSvr01-IS.bks

;the path where the backup file will be saved (*.BKF)

;this coud be a local drive or a network location.

;TAPE is not supported.. yet.

BKFDir=C:\Backup\

;Prefix for the backup filename.

BKFPrefix=DevSvr01_

;File extension for the output backup file. There is usually no need to change this.

BKFExtension=bkf

;How many days to keep the copy of the backup file in the BKFDir location before it is purged.

;Make sure that a MINUS sign comes before the number (eg. -14 for 14 days retention)

KeepDays=-5

;Indicate if backups older than the KeepDays value is purged/deleted. (TRUE or FALSE)

PurgeOld=TRUE

;Indicate if the report is to be sent via email. (TRUE or FALSE)

SendReport=TRUE

;IP or Resolvable name of the SMTP server where the email report will be relayed for delivery.

SMTPServer=192.168.56.250

;SMTP port. Usually 25.

Port=25

;Sender address to reflect as the sender of the report.

Sender=DevSvr01_Backup@labworks.local

;Recipient addresses of the email report. Seperate multiple addresses with COMMA.

Recipient=administrator@labworks.local

6. Run the program to Backup Exchange Information Store

·         Open Command Prompt and change the path to where the tool is saved. In this example it is in C:\MSExchangeISBackup

·         Issue the command in this format “MSExchangeISBackup.exe [INI File]” .

·         In this example, it is MSExchangeISBackup.exe Config.ini

·         NTBackup.exe will run in the background.

·         The output will be written in the command console.

·         It checks if backup was successful.

·         It will delete older backups based on the retention days specifies in the INI file.

·         The report will be sent via email if it is enabled in the INI.

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"

How to Set Custom User Mailbox Limits in Exchange 2003 using vbScript

If you inherited an Exchange Server(s) from another Administrator (who died or otherwise), you might find yourself scratching your head or just cussing because of the issues that might have been left behind for you to deal with :)

However, you must understand that they did not intend to leave you those problems (or maybe they did). One of which is that you may find that there are users who do not have mailbox quotas. Of course its bad enough that they don't have quotas, what more if there are hundreds of them? Some of you would say "why not just create a system policy for mailbox size limits?" --- Valid point, but what if these users must have custom mailbox limits and not follow the standard policy for the mail stores?

If there are just 10 of them, I guess modifying the storage limits manually is fine. But again, if there are hundreds or more of these rouge mailboxes it would be best to do the task via script.

'
'        - the DN and each values must be seperated with a TAB.
'            This script is designed for TAB-delimited Input file.
'
' 2. This script and the Input file must be in the same location and then run this from the Command Prompt.

How to Add New EMail Address and Set it as Default in Exchange 2003 using vbScript

Without boring you with the whole story why I had to write this script, it is just because I don't want to open each user account in Active Directory and add new email addresses manually.
I just can't stand that kind of a repetitive job.  With this, I can modify a bulk of users from a list.
The script is well commented so that it'd be easy to understand what each line will do.

Exchange Server Data Collector [DISCONTINUED]

Update [11/21/16]:

• This project has been discontinued.
• For Exchange 2010/2013, use the PowerShell version from this LINK

Update [2/20/13]: v2.8

• Fixed TB size handling of disk space
• Other stuff that I can't remember anymore :)

Update [7/17/12]:

• Added Performance Counter Object to extract Log Generation Checkpoint Depth of each storage groups.
• Added Reminders/Description after each section.
• These changes are only for Exchange 2003 (so far)

If you manage Exchange Servers, it is always good to have the ability to gather Exchange server status report on demand or by schedule depending on how frequent you want to be informed about the current state of your boxes. Sure you can always log in to your server and check the services, mount status, disk space, mail queues one by one; or you can use commercially available products for a fee. Well as for me, I do not like paying for anything that I can find a free alternative counterpart which can very much do the same thing.

This is why I created this tool I call Exchange Data Collector, and for lack of imagination and creativity it's nick-named as ExDaC2003/ExDaC2010. This program can be run manually or can be set up as Scheduled Task and will gather the information listed below the create an HTML report. The report can be sent via email or you can create a new virtual directory in IIS and host it for online viewing.

The data collected by this small program are:

Mailbox Database

Message Queues

Services

Disk Space

How it works?


When you run this program, listed below are what basically happens.

For Exchange 2003

1. Read INI file for configuration
2. Log on to each specified Exchange Servers
1. Extract Mailbox data using CDOEXM.dll
2. Extract Mail Queue data using WMI
   
3. Extract Services data using WMI
4. Extract Disk data using WMI 
3. Save raw data to temporary file
4. Read raw data and generate the HTML report
5. Send HTML report via email (if enabled)
6. Delete temporary files
7. Cleanup memory allocation

For Exchange 2010

1. Read INI file for configuration
2. Initiate a PowerShell runspace and execute PS Scripts for the following:
1. Extract Mail Store Data
2. Extract Mail Queue data
3. Extract Services Data
4. Extract Disk data 
3. Save raw data to temporary file
4. Read raw data and generate the HTML report
5. Send HTML report via email (if enabled)
6. Delete temporary files
7. Cleanup memory allocation

How do I use this?

This is a console application, meaning it's manipulated via command line (sorry no GUI).

Usage:

 ExDaC2003.exe File.ini

 ExDaC2010.exe File.ini

- ExDaC2003.exe/ExDaC2010.exe is the main executable

- File.ini is the configuration file that the programs reads before executing any of its functions. You can create different INI files with different configurations as you wish.

What does FILE.INI contain?

It contains the list of parameters that will be used for all the functions of the program.

Here's an example:

======================================================
[OPTIONS]
;Specify which data is to be reported (TRUE or FALSE)
xDatabase=True
xQueue=True
xService=True
xDisk=True

[SERVERS]
;When specifying multiple values, seperate with semi-colon and must end with semi-colon
;This is the list of the servers that will be queried.
ServerName=DEVSVR01;DEVSVR02;

[SERVICES]
;When specifying multiple values, seperate with semi-colon and must end with semi-colon
;This is the list of services that will be queried for each of the servers listed under the SERVERS section
ServiceName=MSExchangeIS;MSExchangeMTA;MSExchangeSA;MSExchangeMGMT;MSExchangeES;Resvc;IISAdmin;POP3Svc;IMAP4Svc;W3SVC;SMTPSVC;

[SMTP]
;Specify only ONE SMTP server IP and PORT
SMTPServerIP=192.168.56.250
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]

Sender=administrator@labworks.local

;When specifying multiple recipient, separate with COMMA
Recipients=administrator@labworks.local,administrator2@labworks.local

;This is the Title that will be shown in the HTML report and also the Subject of the email report.
;The program will automatically append the DATE and TIME in this string
ReportTitle=LabWorks Exchange Server Status Report as of

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

;This can be any value. This is needed so that the email report will be less likely to be considered as spam.
XMailer=Exchange Data Collector

;This will be the prefix of the HTML output file. The date and time will automatically be appended.
;The report will be saved here: \objects\reports
ReportFile=LabWorks_

;Specify here the value which will be considered normal for the mail queue, anything above the value specified here will be shown as critical.
QueueThreshold=25

;Specify here 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

;How old (in days) the last full back up must be before warning - 0 means no checking
LastFullBackupThreshold=7

;How old (in days) will the last incremental backup must be before warning - 0 means no checking
