** If your using Exchange 2010 see http://gsexdev.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/howto-series-sample-1-unused-mailbox.html **
Finding unused mailboxes is one of those mind numbing tasks a Sys Admin must perform routinely in Large Exchange organizations. Many of the scripts on this blog help to show ways to tackle different issues around unused or disabled mailboxes such as removing disabled users accounts from groups or finding broken delegate forwarding rules etc. I've also posted a few scripts before that showed some methods to track down unused mailboxes by looking at the number of unread email and the last time a mailbox sent a message. Well this script puts some of these methods together in a powershell GUI script that uses Exchange Web Services and some Exchange Management Shell cmdlets to look at all mailboxes on a server and show us information about when a mailbox was logged into, how big it is, how many unread email there is and when the last sent and/or received email was. It presents all this information back to you as a GUI with data grid and also has a button that allows exporting the result to a CSV file.
How it works?
To get the information about when the mailbox was last logged onto the EMS cmdlet get-mailbox is used and also get-Mailboxstatistics is also used to get the mailbox size in MB. To get the number of unread email in a mailbox and to get the last time a mail was sent from the sent items folder Exchange Web Services is used to query the mailbox. To do this from Powershell and the EMS I’ve used my EWSUtil library which has some routine in there that will perform a finditem operation with the nessasary restrictions so it will only show Unread messages. The library will handle Autodiscover and allow for both delegate and impersonation access method. The Form allows for all of these combinations and also allows you to specify overrides for both authentication and the URL for the CAS server to use (you need to use the full url to the EWS if you going to use eg https://servername/ews/exchange.asmx). The rest of the script just builds the form elements for the GUI and adds some simple function that does a export of the data shown in the GRID.
To use this script you need to have the EwsUtil.dll in c:\temp you can download the library from http://msgdev.mvps.org/exdevblog/ewsutil.zip. You can download the actual script from here I've include a few other scripts in the download that show simpler examples of read the unread email from mailboxes as well (Just for fun). I've put the download of the script here the Code itself looks like
