Exchange Auditing log for Mailbox access

One of the new features that service pack 2 of Exchange 2007 server brings is the ability to audit mailbox access at database level.

 

Here is how to enable and view auditing log for mailbox access:

If you run Exchange 2010 SP1, you can enable auditing log for mailbox access on individual mailbox.

How to Export LCS user list

This applies to LCS 2005sp1 environments but should also work on OCS2007 environments.

The challenge was to generate a list of LCS enabled users that were not disabled. I have a WMI query that will generate a list of LCS users, but I really wanted to be able to filter out the disabled users.

 

Install Powershell 1.0 or later on LCS server

 

Get-WmiObject msft_sipesusersetting -filter "Enabled = true" | Select-Object DisplayName >LCSuserslist.txt

 

As I had some other needs at the time, I added the telephone information as well to the query. Using get-member you can find a number of other different pieces of useful information to gather as well.

A lot of the 'engine' on how/where to get this information I found here and a nod to Eric Woodford for helping with the only enabled users filter.
