move mailbox with conditional - from one store to another store

Test on Test Mailbox first please:
Get-MailboxStatistics | Where {$_.TotalItemSize -lt 100MB} | Move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase "yourserver\Mailbox Database"

Moves Mailboxes smaller then 100 MB

i also know
Get-MailboxDatabase "DB1" | Get-MailboxStatistics | Sort DisplayName | Select @{Name="TotalItemSize(MB)";Expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}}, DisplayName | ? {$_.'TotalItemSize(MB)' -lt 100}

this will show all mailboxes in DB1 with total size under 100MB.

I do not know how to combine them together with move-mailbox...

Test on Test Mailbox first please:
Get-MailboxDatabase "DB1" | Get-MailboxStatistics | ? {$_.'TotalItemSize(MB)' -lt 100} | Move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase "yourserver\Mailbox Database"

it does not work.

i can out put these mailboxes either with get-mailbox,  or get-mailboxdatabase
between 100-200MB, when i tried to combine with move-mailbox, it does not work.

[PS] C:\>move-mailbox "ann.james@uaz.com" -targetdatabase "staff db"

I can not even run move-mailbox cmdlet...am i typing something wrong? i am using ex2k7...

But you run the exchange console as (exchange) Admin ?

i am a domain admin and i can move mailbox using EMC without any problem

doesn't matter. In Server 2008 you still need to run Exchange Shell as admin to do certain tasks sometimes.

so...where i can add my self then?

just added myself as exchange admin...

you just right click the exchange shell executable and choose run as admin, same as anything else you run as admin in Windows! :)

haaaa. yes, i can now...a mailbox is moving...now we can back to track of testing size group moving...

WORKING now!!!

so great guys...save me tons of time...you are very nice people!

last little thing,
Get-MailboxDatabase "staff db" | Get-MailboxStatistics | where {$_.TotalItemSize -lt 50MB} | where {$_.TotalItemSize -ge 1MB}

it returns lots of mailbox, how to do the item count?
I would like to know how many mailbox in certain range...

I will raise the point to 500 for you guys. you have a nice weekend.

You shouldn't need to chain Where statements, this should work:

Get-MailboxDatabase "staff db" | Get-MailboxStatistics | where {$_.TotalItemSize -lt 50MB -and $_.TotalItemSize -ge 1MB}

To count the objects you have a couple of choices really:

Measure-Object {
Get-MailboxDatabase "staff db" | Get-MailboxStatistics | where {$_.TotalItemSize -lt 50MB -and $_.TotalItemSize -ge 1MB}
}

Encasing your command in this will count the number of returned objects.

Also you could do it like this:

$MailboxList = Get-MailboxDatabase "staff db" | Get-MailboxStatistics | where {$_.TotalItemSize -lt 50MB -and $_.TotalItemSize -ge 1MB}
$MailboxList.Count

Happy if you want to split the points :)

Hi about count -

when i tried the measure-object, it does not give me the number, it returns to c:\>

do i have to type an 'enter' at each line, - to break it into different lines?

thanks.

the second $list.count works!...just do not know why the first measure-object does not work.

You got one method that works, why worry about the other? :)
