Powershell command
Anyone know of a good powershell command to find who has mailbox limits in place not controlled by there mailbox stores?
PST search using Pwoershell or 3rd party application?
We need to search a few hundred PST files for any emails containing a keyword in the body or subject of the email. Does anyone know if this is possible using Powershell or a 3rd party application? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

RE: PST search using Pwoershell or 3rd party application?
I developed a proprietary application to do this for a company-that-shall-not-be-named. It's non-trivial. (Of course, it was to handle many thousands of PSTs, not just a few hundred.) If you want to do it auto-magically, you are best off to load them into Exchange 2010 and use multi-mailbox search. While that sounds like a lot of work - the alternative is even more work. Disappointingly, the third-party tools that I investigated before that project were not usable for automation. While they could search PSTs, it was a manual operation to load each one, search it, save the results (if any), record and analyze failures, close the PST, lather, rinse, repeat. Regards, Michael B.

RE: PST search using Pwoershell or 3rd party application?
Did you do this in powershell, c# or something else? Supposedly the Microsoft has opened up the Outlook data format to allow developers to read, create, and interoperate with the data in .pst files. In order to facilitate interoperability and enable customers and vendors to access the data in .pst files on a variety of platforms, we will be releasing documentation for the .pst file format. http://blogs.msdn.com/interoperability/archive/2009/10/26/roadmap-for-outlook-personal-folders-pst-documentation.aspx But I can't find the documentation or examples of opening or reading a pst. -Andy From: Michael B.

The UI was done in C# and the core application was written in C++. MAPI is not supported in managed code (which C# generates).

I’m not sure you’re going to find anyone here who can give you a definitive answer that OST’s are OK at X gigabytes, but start to blow up at X+1 gigabytes… Whether Microsoft set the default maximum based on performance concerns, or file stability concerns; or neither; or both… I can’t say. Seeing how Microsoft increases the default max OST size to 50GB in Office 2010 should tell you they feel comfortable supporting up to a 50GB OST. I’m not sure what tweaks they’ve made to the OST format in 2010… Whether the change means anything to an OST under 2007, again I can’t say. What *I* can tell you is that I have some users with OST’s that are near the 20GB limit on Office 2007. I’ve never once had a problem with the OST file itself. Even if I did, I’d just delete the OST, tell the user to clean up their mailbox and then re-download from the server… Outlook performance certainly does suffer if the PC is not up to the task of handling the large OST though.

Kthx.
Turn up logging on OAB gen.
Try doing a get-exchangeserver |% {update-filedistributionservice $_.Name
