The errors are onlines 86 and 99. Obviously you're running a script quite different to the one at that URL (the entire script is below): #get all the servers get-mailboxserver MailServer* | #get all the mail boxes Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | #get mail box stat Get-MailboxStatistics | #select ones that are over 500MB Where {$_.TotalItemSize -gt 500MB} | #Select objects, create a convert to MB, create a convert to GB Select-Object DisplayName, ItemCount, TotalItemSize, TotalDeletedItemSize, @{label="Total Size (MB)";expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}}, @{label="Total Size (GB)";expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToGB()}}, StorageLimitStatus, Database #Select File to export to... | Export-Csv All_users_mailbox_size.csv --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Did you follow what Rich said? I research the error message the RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT:0x800706BA). And Found it is caused by IM/GP crash. So in order to resolve this error message, exit out of GP and Integration Manager. Then make sure there are no are no Dynamics.exe process still running in the Task Manager under the Processes tab. Restart IM and GP then run the integration. If the integration still hangs, I would like you to do a repair on IM and GP. 1. By going to Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features) 2. Right click on Integration Manager for Microsoft Dynamics and click change 3. Click Repair 4. Click Next and allow it to process 5. Do the same for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Hope it helps Cheers Zi Feng TechNet Community Support

Hi Rich, probably that issue is related with .Net for that server but we should debug the PS session to confirm. Since that server will be replaced, right now doesnt matter the error. Even so, tks lot!tks, Renato P
