Exchange 2010/2013: Database Leveling Script

2014-01-07 9 min read Exchange Exchange 2010 Microsoft Powershell System Administration Zachary Loeber

Unfortunately this may result in an unequal distribution of data which, in turn, can result in an environment where mailbox databases are wildly different in size. In this post I will discuss an approach to leveling the databases so they are equal in size by moving mailboxes between them.
