SSL Certificates on MS Exchange 2007

I had to update the SSL Certificate on our Exchange 2007 server so Webaccess email would work properly. I have always struggled with SSL Certificates. We ended up getting our SSL Certificate through GlobalSign. They have 2 pages on their support section that did a good job of detailing the steps for installing SSL certificates on Exchange 2007.

Here are the links to the pages:

One important thing to do, when you are purchasing the SSL certificate, DO NOT forget to register the name, autodiscover."YOUR SERVER". You will get a security pop up message if you don't.

Exchange 2007 Individual Mailbox Size Report

Here is an easy way of listing the mailbox sizes for everyone on your Exchange 2007 mail server. I have not run this on Exchange 2003 so I don't know if it works.

From the Exchange Management Shell run:

Get-Mailbox -server "Exchange Servername" get-mailboxstatistics select-object DisplayName,@{expression={$_.TotalItemSize.value.ToKB()}},Itemcount,ServerName

Be sure not to forget to change "Exchange Severname" the to your server name.

After running the command, I copied it to Excel to create a more user friendly report for distribution.
