Exchange 2007 PS Script to purge W3SVC1 logs

We have had issues where the IIS logs have been filling up our C drive on both our Mailbox Servers . This is the result of IIS web and Active Sync activity. The following PowerShell Script will purge logs older than 5 days as scheduled Windows Task. 

get-childitem -Path C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\w3svc1 -recurse | where-object {$_.lastwritetime -lt (get-date).addDays(-5)} | Foreach-Object { del $_.FullName }

Exchange 2007 MailboxSize

From time to time we have to look report on the size of user Mailboxes, so this script will report the size of each mailbox. You can change the "TotalitemSize(MB) to GB if you want to report as Gigs.  The default is repoarted as kb.  This reports on a per mailbox server bases.

I like to write the results to a text file, that way I can then compare the text files using compare-object cmdlet to see how MailboxSize change. 

Get-MailboxStatistics | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | ft DisplayName,@{label="TotalItemSize(MB)";expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}},ItemCount | out-file C:\temp\mb1.txt

Exchange 2007 Database Size

This is a good way to report on Exchange 2007 database sizes.  ThisPowershell Script reports on the number of users per database.  I found the script in my notes and don't know who to give credit to.  

Get-MailboxDatabase | Select Server, StorageGroupName, Name, @{Name="Number Of Mailboxes";expression={(Get-Mailbox -Database $_.Identity | Measure-Object).Count}} | Format-Table -AutoSize

I like to write results to a text file, so I changed the Format-Table cmdlet to Out-File C:\temp\DbSize.txt
