My Favorite Scripts to Use with Exchange

Updated on 20 July 2015

I use a fair amount of scripts (and tools) when implementing, managing and maintaining Exchange environments for customers (or in my lab) and decided to compile a list of some of my favorite frequently used tools.

From Paul Cunningham…

• PowerShell Script: IIS Log File Cleanup and Archive
• Test-ExchangeServerHealth – PowerShell Script to Generate a Health Check Report for Exchange Server 2010
• Get-MailboxReport.ps1 – PowerShell Script to Generate Mailbox Reports
• Get-DAGHealth.ps1 – Database Availability Group Health Check Script
• PowerShell Script to Generate Email Traffic in a Test Lab Environment

From Steve Goodman…

• Generate Exchange Environment Reports using Powershell

From Pat Richard…

• One Liner: Restarting Stopped Services
• New-WelcomeEmail.ps1 – Automatically Sending a ‘Welcome’ Email to All New User Accounts
• New-ADPasswordReminder.ps1 – Email Users When Their Password Will Soon Expire
• DAG-InstallRollup.ps1 – Installing Exchange 2010 Rollups on DAG Servers

Misc…

• Exchange Reports (now on CodePlex)
• Exoprise CloudReadyInsight (for helping to determine cloud readiness)
• Change-MailboxType available for download

Have fun!
