Finding Outlook Calendar Items with Attachments

Posted on May 24, 2009March 9, 2015 by Alan

Our Exchange admin always complains about not having enough space.  He remarked to me that one of the space problems comes from users having calendar items with large attachments.   He wanted an easy way for users with maxed out mailboxes to identify this easy source of size reduction.

Outlook Calendar Items with Attachments.vbs  should be run by your users with Outlook open.  It will generate an Excel log called Calendar Attachments.xls which is placed on their desktop.  The log file contains the calendar item’s date, subject and size in kilobytes.  The user can use this information to find the calendar item and do as they will with the attachment.  The next step for a script like this would be removing the attachments and save them to a file.  No plans for that any time soon.

Rename from .txt to .vbs

All the scripts are saved as .txt files. Newer files have a “View Script” button which will let you save or open a script in notepad. For earlier posts, the easiest way to download with IE is to right click on the link and use “Save Target As”. Rename file from Name_ext.txt to Name.ext.
