Powershell - get-mailboxstats

HI Experts,

I'm running powershell commands to pull out lastlogofftime from the mailbox stats, however when running the script:

get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | get-mailboxstatistics | select DisplayName, LastLogoffTime, LastLoggedOnUserAccount | Export-Csv -Path D:\data\list_lastaccess4th.csv -NoTypeInformation

The output is as follows:

From the above, there are missing LastLogOffTimes... Although if I query the user manually. The times are there, see below output:

Get-MailboxStatistics bookings | fl

LastLoggedOnUsuerAccount : HQ\RTP
LastLogoffTime          : 23/10/2013 16:55:25
LastLogonTime           : 23/10/2013 16:54:24

Has anyone come across this before?

SubSun

It's probably due to the pipeline bug in EMS.. Try..

$(Foreach ($mailbox in get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited){
$mailbox | get-mailboxstatistics | select DisplayName, LastLogoffTime, LastLoggedOnUserAccount
})| Export-Csv -Path D:\data\list_lastaccess4th.csv -NoTypeInformation

Is the Attribute Name correct as its word sensitive and if it doesnt matches the correct word data wont be extracted

Subsun: Same issue unfortunately?

Rancy: The property name is correct, as some of the data is being output for some user accounts but not others. Is that what you mean?

SubSun

@Rancy, If the attribute name is incorrect then it won’t export the value for all the users. The issue is only for specific users..

@MarkMichael, in the report, is the user who miss the log off time is different from previous report?

MarkMichael

ASKER

Yes, it's different each time.

Sometimes it will return results for person A, B, C and not D.
Another time it will return results for person A, B, D and not C.

SubSun

Try this..

$Result = @()
Foreach ($mailbox in get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited){
$Result += get-mailboxstatistics $mailbox.Alias | Select DisplayName,LastLogoffTime,LastLoggedOnUserAccount
}
$Result | Export-Csv -Path D:\data\list_lastaccess4th.csv -NoTypeInformation

Did you get a chance to check it?

MarkMichael

ASKER

Sorry, will try in the morning,

Still same issue unfortunately. Still missing random dates in the output.

Thanks for your help so far though.

If you have some users not exporting data once check with permissions on those objects, also if you take that single user dump do you get those details ?

- Rancy

MarkMichael

ASKER

Yep, if I just run get-mailboxstatistics mpoole, for example... the data is visible.

Same if I export it to csv, the data is visible in the csv file.

Manpreet SIngh Khatra

can you try to take the data to text and once verify and then work with Excel

- Rancy

MarkMichael

ASKER

verified:

"DisplayName","LastLogoffTime","LastLoggedOnUserAccount"
"Poole",,"DOMAIN\Poole"

Missing LastLogoffTime

I get the same, when I send the output to screen too, I can see several users missing the same fields, but they appear when I view them one by one.

SubSun

Can you try to run the same script from a different server?

SubSun

Also try...

Get-mailboxserver | get-mailboxstatistics | select DisplayName, LastLogoffTime, LastLoggedOnUserAccount | Export-Csv -Path D:\data\list_lastaccess4th.csv -NoTypeInformation

ASKER

Same with both tests, sorry.

Still the same outputs.

I even ran the script from an exchange server in another AD site, same issue.

SubSun

Sorry.. I cannot reproduce your issue... Even I have some accounts which miss LastLogoffTime but they also didn't output LastLogoffTime when I run get-mailboxstatistics directly for that account.

Which service pack level and RU you have?

MarkMichael

ASKER

Still stuck on SP1 currently, customer is slow at approving updates!

On the other hand, I've just ran the same scripts on another customer Exchange server who has SP3 installed. Same issue!

There doesn't seem to be any pattern with the output though. Very very odd.
