Mailbox Information
Hi experts I would like to know on which region or forest my office365 mailboxes are placed. Is it possible to know this information.

MicrosoftI'm not sure why you are asking this, but there are some scenarios where it's important to know the exact Exchange forest where a mailbox exists and its not hard to find that out because the information is "encoded" in the mailbox server name.
For example, and I'm just making this up now because I'm writing from my phone and I don't have access to PowerShell, the mailbox server name might be AMSPR06MB3245. AMS=Amsterdam datacenter
PR06=Exchange forest
MB=mailbox (CA=cas server)

MicrosoftYou can see the server name if you run Get-mailboxStatistics. Get-Mailbox might not show the current server, but a previous one.
