Hi all,by Slashj at 2013-02-21 08:03:58
This is a long one so sorry and thanks for looking.
I need to provide a daily report of mailboxes over 550Mb (we have 24000 mailboxes) sorted largest to smallest. I’ve written the code below to do this. The html output and the email works fine. However only when I run it against one database. I used the body1 variable with a view to being able to add more body elements later. Not sure if this is the best way to do this?
I did that for testing purposes because it takes far less time (only 250 odd mailboxes per database). But when I run it against all 144 databases, it dies with the following error.
Sending data to a remote command failed with the following error message:
Deserialized objects exceed the memory quota.

Hi,by nate-n8 at 2013-02-23 21:41:32
i didnt read it completly due to not having that much time, but i guess that this might help you.
Ive seen this line "$mailboxDatabases = Get-MailboxDatabase UK-MBX* #If I change this to a database, instead of a wild card for all DB’s it works fine."
My question is, if it is working with one database only and not with the wildcard, why dont u take all database names into 1 variable and then run this script for each database name in the variable.
To be clear i mean this:
get-content "listofdatabases.txt" | %{
$mailboxdatabases = get-mailboxdatabase $($) # So now you only get 1 Database at the time instead of all directly
Run the rest of your script
}
As said, i didn read your whole script so i might be wrong here, but if your problem occured only cause you took all databases at once, then this should help i guess.

You can run Get-MailboxStatistics against DB’s instead of each mailbox (i believe your doing double the work and this should be quicker). You should get the same results. So instead of opening the script with the first 3 variables, use only this:by Takuu at 2013-02-25 06:41:50
$mbtoobig = Get-MailboxDatabase -id * | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where{$.TotalItemSize -gt 550Mb} | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending
if you get warning cause they havent logged in, use: Get-MailboxStatistics -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
It looks like those two above posts should be able to resolve your problems. Any luck there?
