Documenting with PowerShell: Documenting mailbox sizes and settings

Kelvin Tegelaar | 29 Aug, 2021 | 1 Mins Read

At my MSP, we like being aware of obscene growth of mailboxes and weird mailbox settings so we can warn our users or help them find a better workflow, This is why we document their mailbox size, and the settings of the mailbox to our documentation system. Our account managers and vCIOs can easily log into the documentation system at a QBR and explain to our clients where they could make some improvements.

To do this, we use the Graph API reporting option. These reports are available for all exchange users and tell us exactly what the current size of the mailbox is, how many deleted items there are and how many items are in use in total.

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)

Intro

This is a monitoring script requested via Reddit, One of the reddit r/msp users wondered how they can monitor Acronis a little bit easier. I jumped on this because it happened pretty much at the same time that I was asked to speak at the Acronis CyberSummit so it kinda made sense to script this so I have something to demonstrate at my session there.

Intro

Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve just been so swamped with CIPP that I’ve just let the blogging go entirely. It’s a shame because I think out of all my hobbies it’s one I enjoy the most. It’s always nice helping others achieve their scripting target. I even got a couple of LinkedIn questions asking if I was done with blogging but I’m not. Writing always gives me some more piece of mind so I’ll try to catch up again. I know I’ve said that before but this time I’ll follow through. I’m sitting down right now and scheduling the release of 5 blogs in one go. No more whining and no more waiting.
