How can I find out the size of an Exchange 2010 archive box?

Question

Microsoft Exchange

I got the unfortunate life-beaten exchange 2010. The crazy owners completely scored on it and used such a gloomy scheme as archives there. As I understand it, archives are separate mailboxes attached to the main ones. The problem is that now we need to move the thickest archives to another database, but I can't find a guide where I could list archives by database, sorted by weight. The whole Google was covered - everywhere the information is only on displaying the size of ordinary mailboxes. Does anyone know how to get info out?

Answer 1

For some reason, it so happens that when I write here out of desperation, a decision illuminates my head. So, we are arming ourselves with information scraps and the GetMailboxStatistics cmdlet, and then we’ll kaldybenim:
That is, we take the output of the stat, point it to a database with archives, remove any errors from the output, and then extract the necessary data with a pipeline and sort them. Total from the fattest to the thinnest, everything is in plain sight.

Answer 2

By default, Outlook folder archive files are located in the user's profile. This is not a separate mailbox, but an additional file.
