If, for some reason, you want to see which domains in your exchange organisation are not being used (not registered in the ProxyAddresses fields of your users), use below snippet in the Exchange Powershell Module.
Note: this does NOT (yet) check for domains used in Public Folders or Mail Contacts.
$mailboxes = get-mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited
$groups = get-distributiongroup -Resultsize Unlimited
$domains = Get-AcceptedDomain
$output = @()
foreach ($domain in $domains){
$obj = New-Object PSObject
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty domainName($domain.DomainName)
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty domainType($domain.DomainType)
$res = $mailboxes | where-object {$_.EmailAddresses -Match $domain.DomainName}
if(-not $res){
$res = $groups | where-object {$_.EmailAddresses -Match $domain.DomainName}
}
if($res){
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty inUse("YES")
}else{
$obj | Add-Member NoteProperty inUse("NO")
}
$output += $obj
}
Write-Output $output
I tweaked your script to include contacts and display the count of mailboxes, contacts, and groups within each domain: $mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited $groups = Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited $contacts = Get-MailContact -ResultSize Unlimited $domains = Get-AcceptedDomain $output = @() foreach ($domain in $domains) { $obj = New-Object PSObject $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty domainName($domain.DomainName) $obj | Add-Member NoteProperty domainType($domain.DomainType) $res = $mailboxes | where-object { $_.EmailAddresses -Match $domain.DomainName } $mailboxCount = $res.Count $res = $groups | where-object { $_.EmailAddresses -Match $domain.DomainName } $groupCount = $res.Count $res = $contacts | where-object { $_.EmailAddresses -Match $domain.DomainName } $contactCount = $res.Count if (($mailboxCount… Read more »
Hi, great Snippet! I adopted it a bit: function Get-UnusedDomains { Get-UnusedDomains -DomainType 'ALL' -Cloud Shows a list of used and unused domains in you Exchange Online (Office 365) organization. It search for all domain types. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-UnusedDomains -DomainType 'Authoritative' Shows a list of used and unused domains in you Exchange on-premises organization. Just crawl for domains the organization is "Authoritative" for. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-UnusedDomains Shows a list of used and unused domains in you Exchange on-premises organization. It search for all domain types. .NOTES This function is based on an idea of Jos Lieben. .LINK Source… Read more »
Nice snippet!
However a little note of caution; you might want to add the domain type to your output. Although the admin should know, for instance if the domain type is external there shouldn’t be any proxyaddresses with that domain. Exchange accepts those domains, but will forward it (via an explicit Send Connector).
Once again, a life safer
