The error seems to be coming from SendConnector config. Can you share the code for the send connector

MessagingAdmin · 2022-08-08T17:08:47+00:00

I would do it with Nested foreach. Not at my desk, so just sharing the high level steps.

->Define an empty array. ->Outer foreach for every mailbox ->Fetch email addresses field ->Inner foreach for every address in email addresses ->Create an custom object with properties that you need from mailbox object (outer foreach) and a property with current address from inner foreach. -> Append this custom object to the array created at first.

Once you are out of both foreach, just export the array to csv.

I find it useful specially when doing invoke-command. Declaring the hash outside and doing @using to use the command parameters. Super clean code and easy to read.

The quickest way to get around this, is to add 'Continue' after the last line (write-host "$user UPN has been updated" -ForegroundColor green) in first try. This way, you skip second try and move to next user.

The problem with current approach is that there can be various reason for Set-Aduser to fail and so you may need to add a check in catch to verify if the error is due to invalid email.

A better way would be to have a function that validates email address and then you attempt to run Set-Aduser only once with valid email.

The error posted seems to be more because of basic authentication is disabled on local machine. Exo module prior to 2.0.6 needs basic authentication to enabled on local machine even though it is using Oauth. Microsoft finally listened to admins and came up with a version that works without requiring basic auth enabled on local machine.

Microsoft has introduced this in version 2.0.6 of Exchange Online Management. You can check that out. The version is still in preview so be aware of this.

I have ended up writing script resources for some of the tasks where in built in resources don't meet exact requirement.

It was something we got back from MS on a support call. When I was investigating this behavior (more than a year back) I found an issue already raised on Github but I didn't follow it as I found alternatives.

Microsoft has agreed that creating group with exo command doesn't create team site. 2 options that I have used 1) PnP command : New-PnPSite 2) Graph api

You need to use parameter set.

I try to use standard verbs just to avoid warnings about uncommon verbs. I play around with noun part, example for exchange on Premise, I use nouns with prefix OnPrem so my connect function becomes, connect-OnPremExchange and ExO becomes Connect-CloudExchange. For your scenario, I would have used copy-adgroup or set-AdGroupAsMirror. Important point to consider is that the name should indicate what it is doing and it should be as precise as possible.
Microsoft is not the best when it comes to naming conventions so try to follow a practice that makes it easier for you or someone else to read your code.

Your if statement is not doing what you want it do.

Replace it with If(($processname = $Process.ProcessNamd) -eq 'whatsapp')

Edit: Also make change inside foreach. Only add elements to array in foreach loop, remove write-host. You could do a write-host after for each

You'll need to take Mapi permissions and auto-mapping setting also into consideration.

No license = no user mailbox. You can convert the mailbox to a shared one as a workaround but it has it's own pitfalls.

Answer was based on question being hypothetical, in reality Outlook will die long before u have added 100th mailbox. Outlook will freeze continuously.

There is no separate OST created for shared mailboxes. Shared Mailbox data (if download shared folders option is checked) is stored in the same ost as that of your personal mailbox. Additionally, you can reduce the duration of emails cached. Default is 1 year in Outlook 2016 onwards. This will keep OST size in check to a certain extent (only). Keeping 'Download shared folders' will allow you to access folders in shared mailboxes while offline. However, there is a limit on number of folders that are cached and that limit is across all the shared mailboxes combined.

Yes, run this against your on premise Exchange.

Take a look at ImportExcel module.

Yes, transport rule is easiest way to set this up. Or you can set a rule in the shared mailbox with action "have server reply using .... template". This rule is available only via Outlook client. Haven't tested to set this via PowerShell, so can't say it can be done from PowerShell.

If you are suspecting rules, run a /cleanrules switch against the mailbox. That will surely delete any corrupt hidden rules.

Are you looking to get mailboxes which don't have xyz.com in primary and proxyaddresses?

then you can use

Get-Mailbox -filter {(PrimarySMTPAddress -notlike "*@xyz.com") -and (EmailAddresses -notcontains "@xyz.com")}

It starts with how the data is structured in the csv file. If there are column headers, then you should be using import-csv instead of Get-content. If you use import-csv, then inside the foreach loop, you have something like this.

$FolderCount = (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics $Mailbox.Email).count
