Active Directory LDAP query for Exchange 2003 information

Hi,
I have several hundred users on Exchange 2003 SP2.
Over time individual quotas have been manually changed (ADUC->Exchange General -> Storage Limits).
I need to run an LDAP query (I assume it would be an LDAP query) to First Name, Last Name and Storage Quota.
Could someone show me the correct command to do this please?
Also, I will need to save the results of this query into a text file.

Thanks very much,
Mike

Okay, make sure Powershell is installed.

Open notepad and paste the code below

Save the file as quota.ps1

Then Open powershell and run quota.ps1 <samaccountname>

Now you can put a * instead of a name

It will create quota.csv in the directory you run the script from

NOTE the script is read only and will not change anything, it is just an LDAP filter that queries AD and formats the output

param([String] $samaccountname) 
$root = [ADSI]'LDAP://RootDSE' 
$dfDefaultRootPath = "LDAP://" + $root.DefaultNamingContext.tostring()
$dfRoot = [ADSI]$dfDefaultRootPath
$gfGALQueryFilter =  "(&(&(&(& (mailnickname=*)(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(samaccountname=" + $samaccountname + ")))))"
$dfsearcher = new-object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($dfRoot)
$dfsearcher.Filter = $gfGALQueryFilter
$srSearchResult = $dfsearcher.findall()
 
"DisplayName,Server,IssueWarning,ProhibtSend,ProhibitSendRecv,MbxSize(mb)" | out-file quota.csv
 
ForEach ($xResult in $srSearchResult ){
  $uoUserobject = $xResult.GetDirectoryEntry()
  $uoUserobject.displayName
  $Outtxt = '"'
  $OutTxt += $uoUserobject.displayName.ToString()
  $OutTxt += '",'
  $OutTxt += $soServer.Name
  $OutTxt += "," 
  $OutTxt += $uoUserobject.mDBStorageQuota.Value
  $OutTxt += "," 
  $OutTxt += $uoUserobject.mDBOverQuotaLimit.Value
  $OutTxt += "," 
  $OutTxt += $uoUserobject.mDBOverHardQuotaLimit.Value
  $OutTxt += "," 
  $OutTxt += $mbsize.Size/1KB
  $OutTxt | Out-File quota.csv -append
}
