Hi, After invoking the PSSession I am able to execute the exchange powershell cmdlets from a remote computer against Exchange 2010. However, when I try to run this script remotely, it fails: # This script will return the smallest mailbox database, which can be useful when creating new mailboxes or re-distributing based on size # Created by Jason Sherry (izzy@izzy.org) 3/25/2012 # Last Updated: 3/25/2012 # Source: http://izzy.org/scripts/Exchange/Admin/Get-SmallestDB.ps1 # Partial code source: http://powershell.com/cs/media/p/3981.aspx $MBXDbs = Get-MailboxDatabase | Where-Object {$_.Identity -like "Users-US-*"} # This will exclude any DB that started with "TCN-EU-" # Loop through each of the MBXDbs ForEach ($MBXDB in $MBXDbs) { # Get current mailboxes sizes by summing the size of all mailboxes and "Deleted Items" in the database $TotalItemSize = Get-MailboxStatistics -Database $MBXDB | %{$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()} | Measure-Object -sum $TotalDeletedItemSize = Get-MailboxStatistics -Database $MBXDB| %{$_.TotalDeletedItemSize.Value.ToMB()} | Measure-Object -sum #Get-MailboxDatabase and the DatabaseSize property was not used since it does not return a value in some environments as of 2010 SP2 $TotalDBSize = $TotalItemSize.Sum + $TotalDeletedItemSize.Sum # Compare the sizes to find the smallest DB If (($TotalDBSize -lt $SmallestDBsize) -or ($SmallestDBsize -eq $null)) { $SmallestDBsize = $DBsize $SmallestDB = $MBXDB } } Write-host "Smallest DB: " $SmallestDB Here is the error messages we keep getting: Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Database'. Cannot convert the "Mailbox Database 003" value of type "Deserialized.Microsoft.Ex change.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.MailboxDatabase" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DatabaseIdParameter". + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Get-MailboxStatistics], ParameterBindin...mationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Get-MailboxStatistics Why does this ps1 work locally on the exchange server and not from a remote computer? thank you

You can add parameter -server with your servername to script to make it works better or you can try invoke-command like http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd819505.aspxRegards, Konrad Sagala, MCT, MCSE+M, MCITP: Exchange 2007/2010

Hi Did you try Konrad's suggestion? Did they have the same service packs and also the patch levels on both side? Perhaps the problem is on your environment. Cheers Zi FengZi Feng TechNet Community Support

Hi, Our coders rewrote the powershell from the ground up - they couldn't get the recommended one to work remotely. Also, the recommended script rounded KBs up - which gave a different recommended DB to not rounding the KBs up. Thank you for your assistance.

If you want to do more research about script related issue, I would suggest that you could post the issue on below forum, you will ge more help: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdevelopment/threads It is specific for it.
