Need to update this line:

Get-Mailbox | Get-MaliboxStatistics | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptProperty -Name TotalItemSizeinMB -Value {$this.totalitemsize.value.ToMB()} -PassThru | Format-Table DisplayName,TotalItem*

To be:

Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxStatistics | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptProperty -Name TotalItemSizeinMB -Value {$this.totalitemsize.value.ToMB()} -PassThru | Format-Table DisplayName,TotalItem*

LI <--> IL in the get-mailboxstatistics command

Things changed in Exchange 2010 unfortunately for this post. This stuff really does only apply properly to Exchange 2007. Exchange 2010 brought about the use of PowerShell remoting to use EMS. This added neat capabilities like RBAC, but came with some complications, like making the pure PowerShell aspect of Exchange a bit more complicated. Since everything happens through a PS remoting sessoin, the objects like this that come back from cmdlets are being created on another PowerShell session, serialized, sent to your local session, deserialized and output. Unfortunately object serialization and deserialization is a bit like sending a fax, while the resurrected object is usable like the originial, it is by no means the actual same thing. One of these days I will take a look back through this post and see about adding parts to talk about both version. These days though I am not focusing as much on Exchange in favor of pure PowerShell so we'll see. I can continue to answer specific questions and comments though.

Your last script doesn't work with Exchange 2010. The script produces statistics in Mb, Kb and Gb - presumably depending on the size of the mailbox. Don't you even test this before publishing to the world wide web?
