But is packed with new  cool features  such  as  Unified Messaging, Message  tracking Center  and  mailbox  recovery and addresses also the limitation on the database size of  your the previous Exchange 2003.  Well theoretically it can go up to 16TB of Exchange database size  surpassing the previous 75GB limit on your Exchange 2003.  But I don’t think someone would want his database  size  to  be  16TB that  is way too  much to handle.  Ok  All  is  going  well until  one  day  the  CIO asked  me to send him a  list  of  people  who  are  not  reading  their  email.    So  I opened  up  my  Exchange  Admin  console and went  to  the  users mailbox node..and  guess  what.  it is  not  there  anymore.

What  used  to  show  up  in  Exchange 2003  under   Mailbox Store>Mailboxes  is not  there  anymore in Exchange 2007. In Exchange 2003   thru  the  EMC you will find   and can even export  these  information see figure  below.

You will be  presented  with  the  LasLogOnTime
But it  is not the case  with  Exchange 2007.  You will  need  to hustle your skill a little bit on Power shell .  Yes you  heard  me  right  Power shell.  So I need to brush up my typing again. Well  its a little  pain but once  you get to have the feel of  it its a great new tool to manage your Exchange 2007.  After all  the things  you click on your EMC fires up a PS command.

So  fire  up   the  Exchange Management shell. And  type in the  following  :

To display the entire  exchange organization run 
Get-MailboxStatistics -Server servername 
 
To display a particular user LasLogOnTime  run  
Get-MailboxStatistics  username | list LastLogOnTime

To dump to a text file you can dump it into a text file or an HTML filel by
providing the appropriate output extensions.
Get-MailboxStatistics -Server  servename | out-file textfilename.txt
Get-MailboxStatistics -Server  servename | out-file textfilename.html

These  commands on  PS ( Power shell )  will  not  only show  you  the  LastLogOnTime date  on a  user  mailbox  but  will also  show  other statistics on a user mailbox.   You  can  display  it  on screen  or dump  it  to a  text/html  file  and  submit it  to your  boss.

Hope  it  helps
