Shared mailbox - check if user have permission from csv file

Hi all,
i know this is a long shot,but i still belive in Santa.Here is our situation.
We grant our users access to Shared mailboxes by joining them to a security group (mail enabled) that starts with RG-XXX.
Then i ran following command to list all users that are not member of a group starting with RG:
$groups = Get-ADGroup -Filter {(name -like "*RG-Full*") -or (name -like "*RG-SEND*") -or (name -like "*RG-OS*")} | Select -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName
foreach ($group in $groups){ $ADUsers = $ADUsers | Where-Object { $_.MemberOf -notcontains $group } }
$FilteredUsers = $ADUsers
$FilteredUsers | Export-Csv C:\temp\file.csv
This worked great and i got a list of people that is not member of these groups.Problem is that some users are granted permission directly to the shared mailbox.This means that some people on the list still have access to a shared mailbox.
Question is,can i use this list (.csv file containing alias) and run another check to see if they have been granted access to any shared mailbox?
Thanks!

You need to pipe the last one:
$arrMsolUserData | Export-CSV C:\scripts\output.csv -nti
Also, you might need to adjust the value of $user depending on the format you used in the CSV. If the column in the CSV is named "alias", you might have to use $user.alias instead of just $user in the
Get-MailboxPermission cmdlet.
Here's an updated example:
$usertocheck = Import-CSV C:\scripts\file.csv
#Get all the shared mailboxes
$shared = Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox -ResultSize Unlimited
#create the aggregate and cycle all the objects
$arrMsolUserData = @()
foreach ($user in $UserToCheck) {
foreach ($MB in $shared) {
$MBrights = Get-MailboxPermission -Identity $MB.PrimarySmtpAddress -User $user.alias
if (!$MBrights) { continue }
$objUser = New-Object PSObject
$i++;Add-Member -InputObject $objUser -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Number" -Value $i
Add-Member -InputObject $objUser -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "User" -Value $user.Alias
Add-Member -InputObject $objUser -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Mailbox" -Value $MB.PrimarySmtpAddress
Add-Member -InputObject $objUser -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Access Rights" -Value $MBrights.AccessRights
$arrMsolUserData += $objUser }
$arrMsolUserData | Export-CSV C:\scripts\output.csv -nti

SQL bulk copy from csv file - Encoding

Hi Experts
This is the first time I am creating a PowerShell script and it is almost working. I just have some problems with the actual bulk import to SQL encoding from the text file since it replaces
special characters with a question mark. I have set the encoding when creating the csv file but that does not seem to reflect on the actual bulk import. I have tried difference scenarios with the encoding part but I cannot find the proper solution for that.
To shortly outline what the script does:
Connect to Active Directory fetching all user - but excluding users in specific OU's
Export all users to a csv in unicode encoding
Strip double quote text identifiers (if there is another way of handling that it will be much appreciated)
Clear all records temporary SQL table
Import records from csv file to temporary SQL table (this is where the encoding is wrong)
Update existing records in another table based on the records in the temporary table and insert new record if not found.
The script looks as the following (any suggestions for optimizing the script are very welcome):
# CSV file variables
$path = Split-Path -parent "C:\Temp\ExportADUsers\*.*"
$filename = "AD_Users.csv"
$csvfile = $path + "\" + $filename
$csvdelimiter = ";"

I can see that the Export-CSV exports into ANSI though the encoding has been set to UNICODE. Thanks for leading me in the right direction.
No - it exports as Unicode if set to.
Your export was wrong and is exporting nothing. Look closely at your code:
THis line exports nothing in Unicode"
Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $csvfile -Encoding Unicode -Delimiter $csvdelimiter
There is no input object.
This line converts any file to ansi
(Get-Content $csvfile) | foreach {$_ -replace '"'} | Set-Content $csvfile
Set-Content defaults to ANSI so the output file is converted.
Since you are just dumping into a table by manually building a recorset why not just go direct. You do not need a CSV. Just dump theresults of the query to a datatable.
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/4208a159-a52e-4b99-83d4-8048468d29dd
This script dumps to a datatable object which can now be used directly in a bulkcopy.
Here is an example of how easy this is using your script:
$AllADUsers = Get-ADUser -server $ADServer -searchbase $searchbase -Filter * -Properties GivenName,SN,EmployeeID,objectGUID |
Where{
$_.DistinguishedName -notmatch 'OU=MeetingRooms,OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com'
-and $_.DistinguishedName -notmatch 'OU=FunctionalMailbox,OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com'
} |
Select-Object @{N='UNID';E={$_.objectGuid}},
@{N='FirstName';Expression = {$_.GivenName}},
@{N='LastName';Expression = {$_.sn}},
@{N=/EmployeeNo;Expression = {$_.EmployeeID}} |
Out-DataTable
$AllDUsers is now a datatable. You can just upload it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Set storage quota on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell?

I need to set storage quota limits on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell. I understand I can create a .csv file with aliases and pipe that into a cmdlet, eg.,
Import-CSV "C:\temp\alias.csv" | % {Set-Mailbox -identity $_.alias -IssueWarningQuota 900mb -ProhibitSendQuota 950mb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1gb -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false
Is there any other way of doing this with a much more robust script?
Any help would be much appreciated.

A: Set storage quota on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell?

Hi,
Is there any special attribute for these multiple mailboxes? such as they are from a specific OU or a distribution group etc.
If there is, we can direct use the filter to pick out these mailboxes instead of create .csv file for them. The following example can set storage quota for mailboxes in a distrobution group Group1:
Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity Group1 | ForEach{ Set-Mailbox -identity $_.Name -IssueWarningQuota 900mb -ProhibitSendQuota 950mb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1gb -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false}
The following example is used to set storage quota for mailboxes from Exchange Department:
Get-Recipient | Where-Object {$_.Department -eq 'Exchange'} | ForEach{ Set-Mailbox -identity $_.Name -IssueWarningQuota 900mb -ProhibitSendQuota 950mb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1gb -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false}

Display data from CSV file in iWeb page

Hi,
I like to display data from a CSV file in iWeb page if a date value from CSV file matches todays value from the system. Here is an example.
CSV data values
01/20/2011,Sunny,87
01/21/2011,Cloudy,100
01/22/2011,Rainy,60
If today's date value is 01/21/2011 the page should display 01/21/2011 Cloudy 100 in a tabular format.
Appreciate your help in providing HTML code for this issue.
Thanks

I suspect there is a soft return in the excel database somewhere that can't be seen. Take the csv/txt file into notepad and look for a line that starts oddly compared to the others.
I haven't had luck removing soft returns from excel files so I do this a rather odd way. I take the excel file into InDesign as a table, and then use find/change to replace any soft returns with nothing, then convert the text to table and then export the text out again by going export, and selecting text from the dropdown menu.
For my money, I always save tab delimited text files from excel so that if a field does contain commas, it doesn't "trick" indesign into thinking a new field is beginning or not... instead the field delimiters are tabs and they are unlikely to have been used in the excel database.
If you do choose to use this indesign import method of mine to clean up the database, i also noticed two things in your screengrab: first was that some fields have spaces at the start of the text... easy enough to fix with a GREP that looks for ^\s (start of a sentence followed by a space) and replace with nothing. The second thing is the T&C field that all entries (at least in the screengrab) all start the same – if all entries in the database start the same, couldn't that line be in the indesign file? Its only a small detail I know.

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -

Loading records from .csv file to SAP table via SAP Program

Hi,
I have a .csv file with 132,869 records and I am trying to load it to an SAP table with a customized SAP program.
After executing the program, only 99,999 records are being loaded into the table.
Is there some setting to define how many records can be loaded into a table? Or what else could be the problem?
Pls advice.
Thanks!!!

hi Arun ,
A datasource need a extract structure to fetch data .It is nothing but a temp table to hold data.
First you need to create atable in SE11 with fields coming from CSV file.
Then you need to write a report program to read you CSV file and populate your table in BW .
Then you can create a datasource on top of this table .
After that replicate and load data at PSA and use to upper flow.

Importing users into WGM from csv file issues/crash

Hi,
i've been importing user information from csv files into WGM via the +server > import+ function .
It worked the first few times but now when i try the import progress bar pops up and promptly disappears without any thing importing.
i've tried restarts, new admin account, reinstalled WGM.
I've also trashed some pref but i don't really know which ones i should be losing.
The servers an OD master.
any help would be appreciated.
as a last resort what do i need to backup/save if i were to format/reinstall osx server? keeping my settings etc.....
thanks

What I did was:
Exported the user list, to create an XML file in the correct format.
Using this format, I created a spreadsheet in Excel (sorry Apple), and in the final column I created a field that concatenated the information I wanted in the ':' deliminated format of the previously export XML.
Then just copy and past via pico into a pure text file and imported that.
You have to be careful with comments in Passenger, using special characters (';!@#$%^ and others can cause the WGM to fail and crash.

Automatic Deprovisioning of AD resource Accounts from CSV file attribute

My scenario is somewhat like this,
I have a CSV flatfile Active Sync which contains the following columns:
accountId,firstname,lastname,department,location,region
ausmani,Arsalan,Bhagwan,Uphone,Milpitas,US
aahmed,Aftab,Singh,Telenor,Cairo,EMEA
hkhan,Hello,Khan,Lahore,Dublin,EMEA
I have created a role and has assigned AD resource to it. I have hardcoded this role in the waveset.roles field name in my creation form.
When I start FlatFileActiveSync, these above mentioned 3 accounts are created in IDM and they are also assigned AD role, and hence they are automatically provisioned to AD as, due to the fact that I am assigning resource on role base.
I am using Update User workflow in my poll-workflow configuration in my Flatfile synchronization policy.
Currently I am able to automatically provision a account from CSV file towards IDM and towards AD. All this process is automatic.
My problem is that how can I automatically disable and deprovision accounts via a CSV. What I should include in CSV that IDM will know that this account has to be disable and deprovision from resource??? Moreover, which workflow I have to use?
Thanks,
Farhan.

Even I am struck at the same place. Please let me know if you find out.
Thanks you in advance

Import From CSV File statement runs forever, no error, does not finish

Hello,
I am trying to import a CSV file in a JAVA program, with the following statement:
IMPORT FROM CSV FILE '/debug/testdatabase/FILE.csv'
INTO "JOSEPH"."TEST_TABLE"
WITH COLUMN LIST IN FIRST ROW
RECORD DELIMITED BY '\n'
FIELD DELIMITED BY '\t' ERROR LOG '/debug/testdatabase/file.err'
THREADS 10
BATCH 10000
I have two HANA instances on different machines A and B:
Both machines run HANA version 1.00.74.00.389160 (NewDB100_REL), while the OS is
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.1 on machine A and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.2 on machine B.
The statement above runs fine on machine A and the rows are imported properly from JAVA as well as when executed from HANA Studio SQL console.
If I copy the file to machine B and try the exact same statement with the same file, it does not finish (neither from JAVA nor from HANA Studio SQL console). There is no error either. It cannot be cancelled, only a HANA restart stops the statement. Also the sample file I use has only 2 rows, and memory does not seem to be a problem.
I seem to have a similar problem to the one described here, but the answers there do not help me: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3396582 I specified the record delimiter, and I used a python script to check for any strange characters that are not supposed to be there, but didn't find any.
If I copy the file to my windows PC and use the "File Menu -> Import -> SAP Hana Content -> Data from Local file" function, it imports the file correctly into B, but I need to be able to do it from JAVA.
Machine A administration view:
Machine B administration view:
If you have any idea what might cause this behavior or where I can find more information on this problem please give me a hint.

Hi Joseph,
First from the pics, the revision of your SAP HANA instance is 73 instead of 74. Since I have no identical environment, I cannot test it for you. But can you try the simplest scenario? You can create a table with only one column table try to import a CSV file with only one row.

Reading Sheet name from csv file.

Dear All,
I am doing one program where i am reading contents from .csv file from oracle forms. I m using utl_file for reading the contents from .csv file.
But problem is i am having 5 sheets under .csv file and i want to read fifth sheet's data. how do i jump to particular sheet in csv file. please help me in this case. this is very urgent.
regards,
Manish n

I'm not sure of the format of a CSV with sheets : I assume it's a spreadsheet with multiple sheets ?
I know that using Apache POI you can read (and write) native XLS or XLSX spreadsheets and then iterate through the sheets / rows cells. This requires java knowledge but works really well.
