Exchange 2010 TotalItemSize.Value.ToBytes() always empty

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create simple reports on Exchange 2010 mailbox size.

While this works:

Get-MailboxStatistics -server <serverfqdn> |ft  displayname, TotalItemSize

this doesn't (second column stays empty):

Get-MailboxStatistics -server <serverfqdn> |ft  displayname, {$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToBytes()}

The problem is that I need the size as an integer, so the first line of code doesn't serve my purpose. According to several websites the second line of code should work but unfortunately doesn't on my machine.

I know I could parse the value after using the first line but that would be unnecessarily inefficient, wouldn't it? :-)

Hope anyone can help.

Regards, Kevin

Answer 1

Try this for your size expression:

@{expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()};label="Mailbox Size(MB)"}

I believe there is also a ToKB() method.
