I had already written a simillar script, that would go thru an entire Cluster and SGs, these one implements same theory but it is more flexible and easy to use.
Basically you will get 3 types of info and all easily imported to excel, so you can show your boss a nice report.
A simple Nagios plugin to get the total number of current mailboxes exists in Exchange 2003 sever.
requires NRPE_NT to be installed and command must be defined. more info how to setup here.
Check_mboxsize.ws
Another Nagios plugin. One of my hardest to write.
Note that this will require the Nagios Plugin Service to run as a Administrator Account (local system account) will
not work!
Script example:
…nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H SERVER114 -t 90 -u -c get_top_mbox -a SERVER114 3 2000 4000
WARNING – Full Name, Mona , 2.517,00 MB – San Pil, Eric , 1.175,00 MB – Cabo Boiola, Manul , 991,00 MB
Well I just went back to this old script, I rewrote so it will now work with Nagios.
The output is simple and just reports total Top emailers, the script also requires/takes 3 arguments
topemailers.vbs 3 5000 10000
would report only the Top 3 senders of yestarday and would raise alarm to Warning if TOTAL emails sent yestarday were 5000 and critical for over 10000.
The scriptauto downloads the required files (logparser.dll)
Note: NRPE_NT service must run under a exchange admin account, under local system it will not work.

I just wrote my first Outlook VBA code, it searches the body of the email for a email and forwards that email to it.
Just creat a new rule right click on the email and call it, it should also work with a rule.

Yes you can also just burn the CD version, but the USB is more complete its RW and smaller to carry around.
