Where are mailbox last logon, client IP address, and other details in Exchange 2007?
Posted by Bharat Suneja at 7:20 AM

Figure 1: In Exchange 2003, the Logons node displays Store logon-related information. Click here to see a bigger screenshot.
In Exchange Server 2007, these details are not displayed in the EMC. These can be retrieved easily using the Exchange shell.
The Get-LogonStatistics cmdlet provides the following logon-related information.

ClientIPAddress :
ClientMode :
ClientName :

Mailbox information
In ESM, the Mailboxes node of a Mailbox Store displays mailbox-related information such as mailbox size, number of items, and last logon/logoff.

Figure 2: In Exchange 2003, the Mailboxes node displays mailbox-related information. Click here to see a bigger screenshot.
This information can be retrieved using the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet. It provides the following information related to a mailbox:
AssociatedItemCount :
DeletedItemCount :
DisconnectDate :
DisplayName :
ItemCount :
LastLoggedOnUserAccount :
LastLogoffTime :
LastLogonTime :
LegacyDN :
MailboxGuid :
ObjectClass :
StorageLimitStatus :
TotalDeletedItemSize :
TotalItemSize :
Database :
ServerName :
StorageGroupName :
DatabaseName :
Identity :
Now that we're dealing with the shell, besides these cmdlets' built-in filtering capabilities (Database, Server, or mailbox), you can use Powershell's where-object cmdlet to further filter the results based on the properties returned by each cmdlet. For example, to find out logon sessions from a particular IP address:
Get-LogonStatistics -Server "MyServer" | where {$_.ClientIPAddress -like "192.168.2.101"}

Get-LogonStatistics default display is ugily:
Lots of ... in the output. Does anyone test this stuff? :-)
Another wonderful post - thanks for making it easier!

Will this stuff ever be put back in the GUI ?
Most non full time email administrators do not have the time to try and figure out PowerShell..
I can't seem to SEE all the fields, they're off the side. i'm fidgeting with window size, etc, but is there a way to say, show me fields listed DOWN instead of across?
@Lynne:
- To list all fields in a list view instead of the default table view, pipe the output to format-list, for example:
Get-Mailbox "foo" | fl
Get-ReceiveConnector | fl
Get-SendConnector | fl
- To select and view only particular properties of an object, use the Select-Object cmdlet:
Get-Mailbox | Select Name,Databse,*Email*
Get-ReceiveConnector | Select Name,Bindings
- To format tables where information in the rows fits, use the format-table cmdlet with the -AutoSize switch:
Get-Mailbox | ft Name,Database,*Email* -AutoSize
THANK YOU!!
Thanks! I've been looking for this!
