Powershell command to list users and mailbox count

Powershell command to list users and mailbox count for each organization. Is this possible? Is there another report that would give me this information?

Hi Stephen,

First: Welcome to our forums!

I'm not sure what you exactly need but I think you can use this cmdlet from VBO to get what you need: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=15

Thank you for getting back to me! Im just trying to give a report to our finance department that lists each organization with the number of backed up mailboxes. However, when I try to run the powershell command i get the following error. Any ideas?

PS C:\Users\apex> Get-VBOOrganizationMailbox -Organization - Name "XXXX.onmicrosoft.com"

Get-VBOOrganizationMailbox : Cannot bind parameter 'Organization'. Cannot convert the "-" value of type
"System.String" to type "Veeam.Archiver.PowerShell.Model.VBOOrganization".

Hi Stephen,

Please make sure you run VBO PowerShell Toolkit (the "burger" menu -> PowerShell)

Hi Stephen,

Remove the - and name. This is causing the error, as it only needs -organization to get all the mailboxes. If you use -name, you can filter by a specific mailbox.

Code: Select all

Get-VBOOrganizationMailbox -Organization "XXXX.onmicrosoft.com"

Still seems I get the same error with -Name removed. Even though this is the correct organization name? Whats the VBO toolbox you are referring too?

Hereby working code:

Code: Select all

$org = Get-VBOOrganization -Name "APEXTMI.onmicrosoft.com"
Get-VBOOrganizationMailbox -Organization $org

Thank you! That worked.

Now just one more question. Is there anyway I can use that to get a count of all backed up mailboxes per organization? Just a simple list?

Out-of-the-box you can get a list of unprotected (not assigned to any of the backup jobs) mailboxes by adding the "NotInJob" parameter to the above code.

Then you can simply compare the two lists - all mailboxes vs not in the jobs mailboxes..
