About Public Folder Attachments Reports

The Public Folder Attachment reports provide item count and volume information for attachments located inside public folders. You can identify message header details including originator, recipients, subject line, and message identifier for the attachments that meet specified audit criteria.

In the public folder attachment reports, you can right-click on a heading and use the Insert Field option to add additional information. You can insert information such as the creator of the folder, custom attributes, folder age limits (expiration), and any storage quota limit details.

If a public folder is not mail-enabled, MessageStats cannot collect certain attributes from Active Directory such as custom attributes.

Prerequisites

To see data in Public Folder Content reports, you must have run a Exchange Public Folder Content and Attachments gathering to collect information about the public folder attachments.

Introducing Mailbox Reports

MessageStats provides valuable reporting capabilities for mailboxes across your organization. You can create reports to view the largest mailboxes across the entire Exchange organization, or across a single department.

 
* 
TIP: To include hidden mailboxes in the Mailbox Sizes, Mailbox Quotas, and Mailbox Size Distribution reports, you must enable the Allow hidden mailboxes in Mailbox Reports check box on the Delivery Time Threshold property page. To access the Delivery Time Threshold property page, right-click the Tasks node in the treeview and select Properties.

You can also view information about archive mailboxes as well as information about primary mailboxes.

Identifying Internal SMTP-Submitted Messages

The following reports use IP subnets to identify whether SMTP-submitted messages are internal or external to an organization:

•
Mailbox Top Senders and Receivers
•
Mailbox Activity
•
Mailbox Profile
•
Mailbox Sent Audits
•
Mailbox Sizes Sent Distribution

In the MessageStats console, use the IP Subnets property page to identify your internal IP Subnets so that SMTP-submitted messages are correctly reported as internal to your Exchange organization. For details about identifying internal IP addresses, see the chapter titled Setting Exchange Organization Properties in the MessageStats Administrator Guide.

Viewing Presence Information

Reports that contain information about individual mailboxes can also show icons that provide the presence status for the mailbox owner.

Prerequisites

You can see the presence icons if you have Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office Communicator installed, configured, and running on the computer on which you are viewing the report.

 
 
Table 2. Presence status Icons.
Icon
Status

Online

Busy—Similar presence statuses such as In a meeting, or Do Not Disturb also appear as a Busy status.

Do Not Disturb—Displayed when a user has set the status to Do Not Disturb.

Away—Similar presence statuses such as Be Right Back also appear as an Away status.

Offline

If you right-click a status icon, you can communicate with the mailbox owner. If the mailbox owner has Outlook installed and Office Communicator installed and running, you can send an email or reply with an instant message.

If you and the mailbox owner are both set up to send and receive telephone calls over the Internet through your computer, options for making a call can also appear on the menu when you right-click the icon.
