Exchange 2013 Databases
-
We have a lot of databases on our Exchange 2013 server. Definitely exceeding the 5 allowed to be mounted at one time. I'm dwindling down databases and combining them into only a couple. I know I can do a shell move all mailboxes to a new database, but is there a way in 2013 to actually see who is associated within the admin console? Someone asked me and I can't find it. I know you could in 2007 and I believe also in 2010 since they both used EMC instead of the new EAC.

I don't think you can from the EAC...
-
What I'm doing by shaving off a few, is creating a recovery database so I'm not working with a live database. I know that 2013 can work much better on the fly with individual mailboxes whereas older versions you had to bring down the whole database, and restore might screw up the whole thing. With some of those caveats, I'm definitely not trying that out without testing it first. Anyway, no way in EAC? That sucks.

Anyone know the right command to see who's in that database via the shell? Everything I'm trying from Google is showing a different database. When I did the move (there were only 3 people), I used:
Get-Mailbox -database "CorpExchangeStore3" | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase "CorpExchangeStore2"
Everything went fine. When I run a Get-Mailbox | Sort Database, CorpExchangeStore3 | format -Table Name, CorpExchangeStore3 then it shows TONS of names, like they are from another database. If I run that command against DB 2, it basically shows the same thing.

Nvm, got it with Get-Mailbox -Database "CorpExchangeStore3" -ResultSize Unlimited
-
I've run this:
get-maibox | Sort database, name | format-table name, database

You may be seeing mailboxes that are soft deleted from the move... not positive though.

Scanning through the mailboxes, there are 250... Most are here, some are not. Weird.

Does get-moverequest show moves that are still pending?

Two are pending... One is completed but still shows in the Get-mailbox -database "CorpExchangeStore3" -ResultSize Unlimited list...
-
One user is going to take all day. They have 10GB in their mailbox.
-
@BBigford yea... that one will take a while.... im not sure why you are still seeing mailboxes that should have been moved...
-
Am I running this right (to get a list of anyone on CorpExchange3)?
Get-Mailbox | Sort Database, CorpExchangeStore3 | format -Table Name

get-mailbox -database "DBNAME"
should do it
exactly what I needed, thanks. Weird that a completed mailbox is in there... Oh well, I'll figure that out later.
