Note

The Get Mailbox Database operation supports Microsoft Exchange versions 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016. 

The adapter request parameters may differ according to the Microsoft Exchange Server version.

Note

  • If you use the GetMailboxDatabase with no parameters, it gets information about all mailbox databases in the Exchange organization.
  • If you use the GetMailboxDatabase with the Server parameter, it gets information about all mailbox databases on the server.
  • If you use the GetMailboxDatabase with the StorageGroup parameter, it gets information about all mailbox databases in the storage group.
