Exch07 Quota Report
Power Shell 1 script used to grab mailbox stats for a Exchange 2007 server. It saves the information into a .csv file by changing the $OUTFILE variable.

I just make it a point to delete them when I run my months end maintenance.

I'm moving some of my blogging activities to http://www.concentratedtech.com; you'll notice me blogging less on http://blog.sapien.com going forward.
