Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Manage Exchange Server mailbox databases with PowerShell, covering database moves, limits, size reporting, and mailbox counts.

Description

Exchange administration through the GUI works until you need to report across databases or move logs, and that is where PowerShell saves hours. This course focuses specifically on mailbox database management, from moving databases and logs to configuring limits and generating size and mailbox count reports.

This Course Offers

  • Managing mailbox databases through PowerShell, covering the operations administrators repeat
  • Moving databases and logs to another location, which matters during storage migrations and maintenance
  • Configuring mailbox database limits, so quotas and restrictions are applied consistently
  • Reporting on mailbox database size across your environment
  • Finding the total number of mailboxes in a database and determining average mailbox size per database

Why We Love This Course

  1. It is narrowly focused on mailbox databases, so you get depth rather than a broad Exchange survey.
  2. Reporting tasks are covered, and these are what take the longest when done manually.
  3. It targets administrators already familiar with Exchange, so it moves at a professional pace.
  4. At one hour across nine lessons, it is a focused module you can apply immediately.

Exchange environments accumulate mailboxes and data continuously, and knowing how to report on and manage that growth keeps the platform healthy. Do you want to click through the console for each database, or run a script that reports everything at once? Enrollment is open, and Exchange administration familiarity is expected.
