Posted February 23rd, 2011 in exchange by dirk adamsky

This script is made for Jeff Doty.

What the script does:

  • make a wmi connection to a given exchange server and create a list of the mailboxes and their size

The script is tested in an win2003/exchange2003 environment.

Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed):

  • copy and paste the script in your favorite text editor
  • replace the string ‘srv001′ with the name of your exchange server
  • save the script (for example c:tempmailboxes.vbs)
  • open a command prompt
  • go to “c:temp”
  • give “cscript mailboxes.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

When you want the output in a file please give this command:

“cscript mailboxes.vbs > mailboxes.txt” (again without the quotes)

strServer = "srv001"
Const MinimalSize = 2048 'size in MB
Set objWMIExchange = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//" & strServer & "/root/MicrosoftExchangeV2")
Set colExchangeMailboxes = objWMIExchange.InstancesOf("Exchange_Mailbox")
For Each objExchangeMailbox in colExchangeMailboxes
    If (Left(objExchangeMailbox.StorageGroupName, 5) <> "Recov") And (Round(objExchangeMailbox.Size/1024,0) > MinimalSize) Then
		Wscript.Echo objExchangeMailbox.MailboxDisplayName & " ; " &_

WMI: Vbscript to enumerate who is connected to a domain controller

Posted April 22nd, 2010 in connections, vbscript, wmi by dirk adamsky

Ok let’s do another script.
The script shows you who is connected to a domain controller.
This is accomplished through the WMI class “Win32_ServerSession”.
Enumerated are: prew2k username, hostname, workstation os and the time connected.
The script needs to be run as admin because of the wmi connection to the server.

Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed):

  • copy and paste the script in your favorite text editor
  • change the value of strServer to the name of your domain controller (example: strServer = “srv001″)
  • save the script (for example c:tempconnected.vbs)
  • open a command prompt
  • go to “c:temp”
  • give “cscript connected.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

The script:

' Name : connected.vbs
' Description : script to enumerate who is connected to a domain controller
' Author : dirk adamsky - deludi bv
' Version : 1.00
' Date : 22-04-2010
' Level: intermediate

strServer = "domaincontroller"
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strServer & "/rootcimv2")
Set objInstances = objWMI.InstancesOf("Win32_ServerSession",48)

For Each objInstance in objInstances
    With objInstance
        WScript.Echo .UserName & " ; " & .ComputerName & " ; " & .ClientType &_
		.Name & " ; " & Round(.ActiveTime/60,0) & " minutes connected"
    End With
Next

Set objInstances = Nothing
Set objWMI = Nothing
