Command needed to run to show all users that are not showing with the “get-mailbox” command

We have user accounts with mailboxes that are not showing in “Get-Mailbox command but they do show in “Get-ADUser and the users do have local mailboxes
So I need a way to find all users that are not showing with the “get-mailbox” command
So if someone could show me what command I need to run to obtain this info.
Thanks

Alex I am not a scripting expert so could you show me what you are suggesting?

Also as I mentioned up top, there are users that have local mailboxes that do not show up for some reason when we run the get-mailbox command, but they do show up when we run the get-aduser.
So I just need a good way to find all of these users that don't show up with the get-mailbox command.
Anything that I can run to show these?
Hope this make better sense and sorry if at first I was not clear on what I needed.
Thanks

Set-AdServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $True

Shows all the mailboxes in your exchange environment, use this to start with, so in your exchange shell. Copy and paste the above command and then run your get-mailbox command.

What exchange are you running?

Is there a special command to run with the get-mailbox command meaning what switches do I need.

Alex

There isn't, so please read this carefully

Run

Set-AdServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $True

then

get-mailbox

Then come back and tell me if that got the mailboxes you were expecting.
