Exchange Reporting Tutorials

This article describes some of the reports that can be produced with Promodag Reports if you need to list your public folders and measure their usage before migrating them to a more recent version of Exchange or Office 365, or archiving their content to another data repository.

This post explains how to detect inactive Exchange recipients such as mailboxes, distribution groups or contacts in on-premise Exchange or Exchange Online. This work can be particularly useful if you are planning to migrate to Office 365 in the near future or if you simply want to clean up your directory.

Measuring the increase in mailbox size is not an easy task as Exchange does not keep a history of it. You can overcome this limitation with Promodag Reports and this article explains how to do it.

This article explains how to obtain a breakdown by age of the Outlook items stored in user mailboxes. This feature can be especially valuable if you want to encourage your users to archive their oldest emails for migration to Office 365.

Many of us take for granted that producing an Email Activity Report on Shared Mailboxes in Office 365 is an elementary task that should be achieved without much difficulty. This article provides an overview of the different possibilities and explains how to generate a report on Shared Mailboxes in Exchange Online using Promodag Reports.

This post is the sequel to our article on the report on mailbox delegation permissions. This time, we describe how to obtain easily and quickly a report displaying folder-level permissions in mailboxes.

Whether you use Exchange Online or On-premises Exchange, check out this post to see how to obtain a Mailbox Permissions report without overly complicated scripts.

This article explains how to produce a usage report showing the On-premises Exchange traffic vs Microsoft 365, another one displaying the top 10 users in Exchange Online, and eventually a report showing the email traffic growth in Microsoft 365. This way, you get an overview of Exchange Online end-user adoption and deduct trends.

We will try to explain in this post how to capture the messages sent by devices and applications and relayed through the Exchange messaging system.

This post introduces the new Calendars feature of Promodag Reports version 11. This option allows you to create custom calendars based on users' work schedule and location, which in turn allows to produce accurate email activity reports that take account of specific local conditions - that is, time zone, public holidays and business hours.

Promodag Reports now imports the RecipientTypeDetails property, which allows you to select Exchange recipients by type. For example, you can select all shared mailboxes, all room mailboxes or all Mail-enabled Universal Distribution Groups - you name it - in one single click.

If you must search for THIS specific message in your Exchange mailbox traffic, and you are restricted to 7 or 30 days by the default Microsoft reporting tools, then Promodag Reports can help you find it quickly and effectively. This post describes how to do it.
