How Can I Export OWA Enabled Users with Their Mailbox Size to CSV?

Asked By MysteriousMuffin42 On

I'm trying to create a CSV file that lists all users with Outlook Web Access (OWA) enabled, including their usernames and mailbox sizes. I've written a PowerShell script that connects to Exchange Online and attempts to gather this information. However, I'm running into an error when trying to use `ForEach-Object` with Get-CASMailbox. Specifically, I'm seeing an error that says 'Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Identity' because it is null.' It seems like the script isn't returning the user principal name correctly. Can anyone spot what's going wrong or suggest a fix?

It might help to debug your script. I feel like some people jump to asking for help before trying simple debugging techniques. Try stepping through your code line by line and see where it goes wrong – it can really help you understand the problem better.

One thing to keep in mind is that `Get-CASMailbox` doesn’t return 'UserPrincipalName' as a property, which is probably why your `$user` variable ends up being null. Instead, try using the `PrimarySMTPAddress` or `SamAccountName` attributes to get the user's identity.

First, try running `Get-CASMailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Where-Object { $_.OWAEnabled -eq $true }` by itself to see if it's returning anything. If you're getting null, that might be your issue right there.

Honestly, I think we should encourage more self-debugging. It feels like the effort to troubleshoot should come first before seeking help. When someone poses a question without trying even simple fixes, it just sets a bad precedent. Let’s help them learn to tackle their own problems instead of handing them solutions.

Break your script down step by step: first, get all OWA-enabled mailboxes. Then, loop through each mailbox to validate what you’ve retrieved. Make sure to check if the mailbox object is valid before calling `Get-MailboxStatistics` on it. Construct your `PSCustomObject` only when you're sure everything is working. Here's a simple structure:

```powershell
$results = Get-CASMailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Where-Object { $_.OWAEnabled -eq $true }
foreach ($SingleMailbox in $results) {
$stats = $SingleMailbox | Get-MailboxStatistics
[PSCustomObject]@{
Username = $SingleMailbox.PrimarySMTPAddress
MailboxSize = if ($stats) { $stats.TotalItemSize.ToString() } else { 'NA' }
}
}
```
Try running that and see if it helps!
