  Error:

  [PS] C:\>Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "(DATABASE)"

  Get-MailboxStatistics : The specified mailbox database "(DATABASE)" is not unique.
  At line:1 char:22
  + Get-MailboxStatistics  <<<< -Database "(DATABASE)"

  Cause:

  Mounted 'Recovery Storage Group' has the same name as the live database.

  (SERVER)\(STORAGEGROUP)\(DATABASE)
  (SERVER)\Recovery Storage Group\(DATABASE)

  Solution:

  Use the full path to the database.

  Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "(SERVER)\(STORAGEGROUP)\(DATABASE)"
  Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "(SERVER)\Recovery Storage Group\(DATABASE)"
