Procedure

To use the Exchange Management Shell to get public folder statistics

  • Run the following command:

    Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Identity <PublicFolderIdParameter>

    For example, to get the statistics for a public folder named Marketing with a piped command to format the list, run the following command:

    Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Identity \Marketing | fl

    Note

    The value for the Identity parameter must include the path. For example, if the public folder named Marketing existed under a parent folder named Business, you would provide the following value: "\Business\Marketing"
