Get-mailbox -Identity UID

Replace SERVERNAME and FILENAME with your server name and the name and path of a text file that you want these statistics output to.

If you migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 and still have some residual mailboxes left behind on the old exchange 2003 server, this Power Shell cmdlet will be very useful to you.  It will list all users the old exchange 2003 server and their respective mailstores.

Where OUNAME is an Organization Unit in your Active Directory domain that you want to search.  For example, lets use the users OU.

So… your command will be like this:
