Public Folder Statistics

Before You Begin

Permissions and Prerequisites for the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) Version of Exchange 2007

To perform the following procedure in the RTM version of Exchange 2007, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server

Also, before you perform this procedure, be aware that in the RTM version of Exchange 2007, you can view public folder statistics only in the Exchange Management Shell. You cannot use the Public Folder Management Console.

Permissions and Prerequisites for Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Public Folder Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server

Procedure

To use the Exchange Management Shell to get public folder statistics

  • Run the following command:

    Copy Code 
    Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Identity <PublicFolderIdParameter>

    For example, to get the statistics for a public folder named Marketing with a piped command to format the list, run the following command:

    Copy Code 
    Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Identity \Marketing | fl
    Note:
    The value for the Identity parameter must include the path. For example, if the public folder named Marketing existed under a parent folder named Business, you would provide the following value: "\Business\Marketing"
