Get all email addresses for mail-enabled groups in AD for Exchange 2003

I wrote the following script to display a list of all email addresses associated with all groups in AD.

$groups = get-qadgroup -sizelimit 0
foreach ($a in $groups) { if ($a.emailaddresses -ne $null) { $a.emailaddresses }}

Get Mailbox Quota information from Exchange 2003

I wrote the script below to get all the mailbox quota information from all my users.  It loads the Quest ActiveRoles snappin if it doesn't already exist, and created a .log file with all the data.  It is a |-separated file.

Write-Host "Checking ActiveRoles Snapin"
if (Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement -ErrorAction silentlycontinue) {Write-Host "Added ActiveRoles Snapin"} Else {Write-Host "Snapin present."}
Remove-Item "mbxquotas.log"
$logfile = New-Item "mbxquotas.log" -Type file
Add-Content $logfile "UserName|mDBStorageQuota|mDBOverQuotaLimit|mDBOverHardQuotaLimit|homeMDB"
$users = Get-QADUser -Sizelimit 0
$users | foreach
  {$user = get-qaduser $_
   $datastring = $user.name + "|" + $user.mdbstoragequota + "|" + $user.mdboverquotalimit + "|" + $user.mdboverhardquotalimit + "|" + $user.homemdb
   Add-Content $logfile -Value $datastring

PowerShell Podcast

In preparing for any Exchange 2007 installation, PowerShell is going to be a necessity for today's administrator.  I've found a PowerShell Podcast I'm gonna try out to help me learn the ins and outs.  Knowing your way around PowerShell will set you apart from other Exchange Administrators.

Here's the link if you're interested or search for it in iTunes.
