PowerShell - Easy Mailbox Stats Gathering

Just a quick bit of PowerShell for those that use it as often as I do.  This is something I created a long time back for reporting against user mailbox sizes.  You can tailor it to your own needs of course if you know the right attributes:

Get-mailboxstatistics –Server GLL-EXCHMB-01 | select-object servername, storageGroupname, databasename, DisplayName, @{name="TotalItemSize(KB)";expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToKB()}},StorageLimitStatus,LastLogonTime, LastLoggedOnUserAccount,ItemCount, DeletedItemCount | export-csv c:\Server_Stats.csv
