I need to list the Mailbox size for each user. I tried using Get-MailboxStatistics but error:

The term ‘Get-MailboxStatistics’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Are you running it from the Exchange Management Shell? Running that from a powershell prompt won’t work without loading the exchange tools in.

Edit: in case you are trying to script that, there are two methods here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6035902/exchange-powershell-how-to-invoke-exchange-2010-module-from-inside-script Were it me, I’d try the one that calls remote exchange.ps1

cduff is on the right track, also check to make sure that you have the right permissions to execute the scripts

Also you can use the process here to get your data into Spiceworks so you can use a Spiceworks report and see it on your dashboard.
