I would like to Setup an Out Of Office text reply on a deprovisioned user's mailbox using powershell. I need to have auto reply whenever the user account in active directory is disabled. would you provide me the scripts?

We would like to set up auto out of office reply for disabled/deprovisioned Active Directory users. Is there a power shell script that I can use?

Exchange Scripting Question

sahinboluk — Tue, 07 May 2013 05:00:00 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to create a script that will check to see if a user in a list (text document) is on litigation hold, and if so print it out on the screen. Below is what I have :

foreach ($alias in get-content C:\Windows\system32\scripts\testusers.txt)
    {
        Get-Mailbox -Identity $alias | fl LitigationHoldEnabled, Alias
        {
            if (LitigationHoldEnabled -eq $True)
            {
                Write-Host "$alias is on LitHold" -fore green
            }
        }

    }

The output is not what I expected :-). I think I am missing something easy here. Any help would be appreciated!

Output:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32\scripts>.\CheckLitHold.ps1

LitigationHoldEnabled : False
Alias                 : aadetola

            if (LitigationHoldEnabled -eq $True)
            {
                Write-Host "$alias is on LitHold" -fore green
            }

LitigationHoldEnabled : False
Alias                 : ABBOTTLV

            if (LitigationHoldEnabled -eq $True)
            {
                Write-Host "$alias is on LitHold" -fore green
            }

ForEach variable is $null in 2010, but not 2007

mitchellguthrie — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Hi All,

I have a PS script that's working well in Exchange 2007, but doesn't in Exchange 2010. In 2010 I get the error that $Recipients.DistinguishedName is null. Anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?

What the script does is checks all the mailbox folders of the Linked Mailboxes and if it finds the folder "Cloud Archive" in their mailbox it will add them to the Distribution List "ArchiveCloudDistro"; works in a 2007 env, but not in 2010.

$Recipients = Get-Recipient -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'LinkedMailbox')}
$Recipients | ForEach {(Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $_.DistinguishedName)} | Where {($_.FolderPath -eq "/Cloud Archive")} | ForEach {Add-DistributionGroupMember -Member $Recipients.DistinguishedName -Identity ArchiveCloudDistro}

Multi-Mailbox search using Powershell?

joe.kelley — Fri, 11 May 2012 05:00:00 GMT

We are in a hosted Exchange environment (Live@Edu). I'd like to script some multi-mailbox searches using powershell (and probably importing the "From:" addresses from a csv file). I gather either Search-Mailbox or New-MailboxSearch are used (New-MailboxSearch is asynchronous, and seems more nearly what you get running a multi-mailbox search from the ECP). However, whatever the case, I have also been reviewing Advanced Query Syntax and it seems quite powerful, but all I see as examples are just t Ahe Boolean AND, OR, and NOT (but it seems this is to AQS than that, though perhaps not available to PS?). Any good writeups on this?

Here's why: a user is missing mail that had been stored in distinct - non-Inbox - folders. It cannot be found anywhere. This is a last chance to find it. The folders it was stored in are known (they are still there, just empty) and (somehow) the names are known too. All the examples of searches I find are related to file searches, but email has some extras (SMTP headers, for example), but may not have other things you'd find/need/use in a file search. Apologies if this is poorly-described. I'm sure I'm overlooking things and probably included things that are irrelevant. At any rate, if others have done this or similar, or have some suggested links, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

--Joe

Using send-mailmessage cmdlet...?

I am trying to use the send-mailmessage cmdlet, but im runninng into a problem where I am getting a "Send-MailMessage : The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure." error. I'm running the cmd like this:

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?? Thx.

How do I use Invoke-Command correctly?

jwhite — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Im trying to run the command test-outlookconnectivity -protocol:tcp or http -trustanysslcert:$true. I'm wanting to run it on a remote machine as if I were on the machine, and have the output returned to the screen of the local machine.

As stated in this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347578.aspx, i tried to use the invoke-command. My syntax looks like this:

Invoke-command -comuptername <sever name> -scriptblock {test-outlookconnectivity ....} -authentication Kerberos. However I got this error:

"Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authentication: The network path was not found."

Anyone got any idea what im doing wrong? I have permissions to run the cmd on both machines and I can also successfully ping the remote machine.?? Thanks.

Re: Add event logs to a transcript!

jwhite — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Ok so I was doing some further digging and realized that when a file in in use by start-transcript, that file appears to become locked from use by any other cmdlets. So what I did was this:

start-transcript output file is C:\transcript.txt

Run cmdlet, run test

stop-transcript

get-eventlog >> C:\transcript.

By doing this it appends the get-eventlog to the transcript file. That is what I have found so far.

Re: Add event logs to a transcript!

jwhite — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Yes so I added the -append switch to the start-transcript. Also did a >> with get-eventlog so it would append that info to the info in the transcript. Problem is that it's throwing the error "unable to access the file as another person or process is all ready using it". So how would I get the info from get-eventlog to add its info to the file from the transcript. Bascially im wanting to have the entire shell session logged into the transcript and also any application events as well. ANy thoughts..?

Cheers.

Formating output from get-mailboxdatabase query

Steve4586 — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 06:00:00 GMT

I have a requirement to create a text file containing Exchange Database information in the following format:

Indentity:size Indentity:size

so this would look like

DBase01: 1234 Dbase02: 4321

I have a script the outputs the data in the format

DBase01: 1234

Dbase02: 4321

I am a little stuck on how to do this: script is below, any help would be appreciated. For info, this is to create data that Cacti will accept to graph the data:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Get all the Mailbox servers
$colon = ":"
ForEach ($server in Get-MailboxServer)
{
   # For each Mailbox server, get all the databases on it
   $strDB = Get-MailboxDatabase -Server $server

   # For each Database, get the information from it
   ForEach ($objItem in $strDB)
   {
      $intUsers = ($objitem | Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited).count

      $strDBsize = Get-ChildItem $path
      $ReturnedObj = New-Object PSObject
      $ReturnedObj | Add-Member NoteProperty -Name "Database" -Value $objItem.name
      $ReturnedObj | Add-Member NoteProperty -Name "User Count" -Value $intUsers

      $data = ($ReturnedObj.database + $colon + $ReturnedObj.'User Count')
    Write-Output $output | FT -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize
   }
}

Thanks
