Here is a short hot-to use the PowerShell to create a new exchange mailbox database. I recently learned how to do this when setting up databases for my new Exchange 2010 setup and again today I went over the steps. Today I will share them with you.
First you will need to run the Exchange Management Shell. Once you have this running you will issue the following command:
new-mailboxdatabase -name ‘database-1’ -server ‘EXCHANGE’ -edbfilepath ‘E:Mailboxdatabase-1database-1.edb’ -logFolderPath ‘F:Mailboxdatabase-1Logsdatabase-1_Logs’
After you have created your database its time to mount, this is also done in the Exchange Management Shell. Simply type the following:
mount-database -identity ‘database-1’
If you go to the EMC, you will see that the new database has been made and now mounted.
