User of Mailbox constructor (ADUser) in PowerShell

Get-Mailbox uses [Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Management.Mailbox] class, and has available construct
Mailbox(ADUser). How can I use this construct in PowerShell to retrieve specific user's Get-Mailbox properties quickly?

mjolinor, thank you for your response, but if there is a better way to do this, I would definitely consider it. We only have one Exchange Management Tools installed server, and security does not allow us to install EMTools on workstation or any
other servers. We also need to run this task every couple hours, and putting that kinds of load on server is not recommended. there is gotta be a better way!!!

You don't need the management tools installed if you use implicit remoting.  Just create a session to an Exchange management session on one of your Exchange servers, and import the cmdlets you need.
You can split up the mailboxes by name, OU, database, or whatever other criteria might be convenient, and use runspaces or background jobs to work on each group independently, then pull the results back to your main script to aggregate and report.

  • Export 2 specific folders from users A mailbox and transfer them to user B Via Powershell

    Hi 
    i know there is a simpler method for the user to export the folder within outlook as a PST file and send it to the other user to import... but
    Is there a powershell command sequence i can use that will export folders from User A mailbox and import them into User B's mailbox remotely so they don't have to do anything.
    Many Thanks
    Gordon

    i made some progress with the following

  • Managing spam email on the User's Mailboxes

    Hi,
    i would like to ask if there's a way where I can delete spam email (actually it was detected as trojan by our current AV but failed to delete), residing on some of the user's mailboxes.
    i think this can be down via powershell but my concern is I can only do it on my Win7 machine. 
    is it possible to enable the Get-Mailbox cmdlet on Windows 7?
    many thanks.

    Hi,
    If you want to use Windows PowerShell remoting to remotely manage a server running Exchange Server 2010, you need to run the following cmdlet to create an implicit remote Windows PowerShell session.
    $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri
    http://exch4-cu1.cu1.com/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos
    import-pssession $session
    Note: Please change "exch4-cu1.cu1.com" to your Exchange server name.
    For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

  • Exchange 2010 disconnect AD user from mailbox and reconnect the mailbox to a new copy of the same user with a different username

    How can i get the following done:
    Exchange 2010 disconnect AD user from mailbox and reconnect the mailbox to a new copy of the same user with a different username?

    Rene,
    Why are you not changing the username of the existing account, instead of deleting the existing one and creating a new one?
    If you truly need to delete and create new, you can save the GUID for the mailbox (Get-MailboxStatistics <mailbox alias> | Fl MailboxGuid), mail disable the existing account (Disable-Mailbox <mailbox alias>
    will work), clean the mailbox database it was hosted on (Clean-MailboxDatabase
    <database name>), then create your new account and recover the existing mailbox to that new account (Connect-Mailbox -Identity <Guid from before> -Database <Database name> -User <SAM account name of new account> -Alias
    <what you wish to set the alias to>).  In PowerShell, for all steps, you would do the following:
    $MbxAlias = <mailbox alias>
    $NewMbxAcct = <SAM Account Name for new account>
    $NewMbxAlias = <new alias for mailbox>
    $DomCtrl = (dir env:\LOGONSERVER).Value.Substring(2)
    $MbxGuid = (Get-MailboxStatistics $MbxAlias -DomainController $DomCtrl).MailboxGuid
    $MbxDb = (Get-Mailbox $MbxAlias -DomainController $DomCtrl).Database
    Disable-Mailbox $MbxAlias
    Clean-MailboxDatabase $MbxDb
    Connect-Mailbox -Identity $MbxGuid -Database $MbxDb -User $NewMbxAcct -Alias $NewMbxAlias -DomainController $DomCtrl
    You will need to supply the information in bold in the above commands, and you will need to create the new account before you run the above commands.  I include direct use of a specific domain controller so you won't need to worry about replication. 
    If you are changing the account from one domain to another, this will not help, and you will need to wait for replication throughout the process, running the commands individually.

  • Read other user's mailbox on MS Exchange through JavaMail

    Hi All,
    I have a problem on trying to read other user's mailbox on MS Exchange through JavaMail.
    I am using administrator to connect to MS Exchange server and try to use Store.getUserNamespaces(java.lang.String user) to get another user's folder but it return nothing... however when I used Store.getPersonalNamespaces(), it works...
    I have grant the full control permission of the user for the administrator. I can use administrator to see other user's mailbox through MS outlook. And I also try to connect to MS Exchange through Netscape Mail client(a standard IMAP mail client).Unfortunately netscape mail client can not see other user's mailbox though other functionality works well...
    I suspect MS Exchange does not fully support IMAP. does anyone has idea on this isssue? Please give me some comment...
    Thanks very much in advance...

    Hi, I know that it is almost 2 years ago that you put your question. But I am very interested whether you found a solution because I encountered the same problem as you had.

  • Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?

    Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail
    Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?
    <P>
    Yes.
    The 2.x server allows the postmaster to login to a user's account.
    Try running MoveUser as follows:
    MoveUser -u uid -s host -xPostmaster:uid -p password
    -d desthost -a proxyuser -v proxypassword -m mailboxpath
    Notes:
    Mail Server 2.x uses a local database and not an LDAP server
    for account information. The -l option
    specify ldap URL and the associated bindDN password,
    therefore, are not valid when moving from
    Mail Server 2.x to Messaging Server 3.x.
    "Postmaster:" is case sensitive.
    The -a and -v options are for Messaging Server 3.x
    ProxyAuthUser credentials.
    We do NOT allow this login to a 3.x server
    (use PROXYAUTH instead).

    Additionally
    When I type in fasn26p (machine name) the Oracle Application Server Welcome page displays.
    I can get to the Enterprise Manager via the link on the page.
    On the All Programs menu, under Oracle - OraDb10g_home1 I can access the Datbase Control page and login. The line for Database Instance: Orcl is -
    http://fasn26p:1158/em/consol/database/instance/sitemap?event=doloa&....
    One last thought. I installed this with this on my network at home and I now have it disconnected from the network. So no IP address for the adapter and I wonder if that can cause a problem with Apache?

  • A Unified Messaging server running the same version of Exchange as the Mailbox server that hosts the user's mailbox couldn't be found.

    Hi Team-
    we are getting below alert in Exchange 2013 on UM server
    a Unified Messaging server running the same version of Exchange as the Mailbox server that hosts the user's mailbox couldn't be found.
    eventID 1647 
    The Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging Call Router service rejected the call for the following reason: 15505;source="Exchange 2013 server  ";reason="Couldn't find a valid Unified Messaging server to redirect the call." Microsoft.Exchange.UM.UMCore.CallRejectedException:
    An incoming call with ID for user  was rejected because a Unified Messaging server running the same version of Exchange as the Mailbox server that hosts the user's mailbox couldn't be found.

    Is this not supported scenario of Exchange 2013 UM server and Exchange 2010 mailbox server
    ksrugi

    You cannot and should not expect Exchange 2013 UM function for mailboxes housed in Exchange 2010.  And the reverse is true as well.  If you want Exchange 2013 UM to function for users, their mailboxes need to be in Exchange 2013.  Exchange
    2013 UM should be able to redirect calls to an Exchange 2010 UM server if it detected a call was destined for a mailbox being hosted by Exchange 2010, assuming the UM servers/roles/services are within the same UM Dial Plan.

  • Powershell for setting all user set-mailbox -maxreceivesize

    hi,
    i can't get my exchange powershell script to change 'set-mailbox * -maxrecievesize 40Mb', please help.
    thanks.

    In Exchange (2010) there are four different places where you can set delivery size restrictions.
    1. On the complete Exchange Organisation.
    Console: Global Settings -> Transport Settings
    Shell:
    Get-TransportConfig %organizationname% | Set-Transportconfig %organizationname% -MaxReceiveSize 50 MB
    Get-TransportConfig %organizationname% | Set-Transportconfig %organizationname% -MaxSendSize 50 MB
    (you can find your organisationname with this command: Get-OrganizationConfig | ft name)
    2a. On a specific Receive Connector.
    Console: Server Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Receive Connectors
    Shell: Get-ReceiveConnector %connectorname% | Set-ReceiveConnector %connectorname% -MaxMessageSize 25 MB
    2b. On a specific Send Connector.
    Console: Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Send Connectors -> $connectorname% -> General 
    Shell: Get-SendConnector %connectorname% | Set-SendConnector %connectorname% -MaxMessageSize 25 MB
    3. On a specific User.

    Shell: Get-Mailbox %emailaddress% | Set-Mailbox %emailaddress% -MaxReceiveSize 10 MB

  • How to add multiple users permissions to a calendar using powershell?

    I have an organization that was recently setup in Exchange Online and they have unique circumstances in that every user in the organization needs "reviewer"
    access to every other users calendars.  I cannot change the default permission since new users added after this should not be able to see these calendars details.  There are a few I will go back to run a Set command on to change an individual permission
    here and there for specific needs, but the main need is below.
    I have basic experience with powershell commands and have found how to manually add a single users permissions to a calendar using the command below:
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity alias:\calendar -user alias -AccessRights reviewer
    Since it's not realistic to run this command thousands of times changing the user aliases each time, I was hoping someone could help me build a command to run on a single mailbox's calendar that would add every current user in the organization with certain
    permissions such as "reviewer" or "availabilityonly".
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi,
    A possible solution is to do this via Security Groups.
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity [email protected]:\Calendar -User [email protected] -AccessRights Owner
    This way, you simply add users that require access to the CalendarOwnerAccessGroup
    You still have to run this on every mailbox that should have this feature, but that could be solved using powershell piping.

  • How to query user across multiple forest with AD powershell

    Hi Guys
      Our situation like this , we have two forest ,let say forestA.com and forestB.com, and they are many subdomian in forest A.
      I'd like to write a script to the AD object information via get-adobject -identify xxxx
      My accont belongs to forestA.com , and the computer i logged on belongs to forestB.com ,A & B have forest trust.
      Now the problem is if the object i quried belngs to forestB.com ,the Get-ADObject works fine ,however if the object belongs to forestA.com ,i got the error "Get-ADObject: Cannot find a object with identify: 'xxxx' under: 'DC=forestB,DC=com'.
      So how can i have a script than can query user in both forest

    Prepared this some time ago for a PowerShell Chalk & Talk. Just change the forest names and credentials. Each Active Directory cmdlet you are calling works on the current drive. So to switch between the forests you need just change the drive / location.
    This is also quite nice for migration scenarios.
    $forests = @{
    'forest1.net' = (New-Object pscredential('forest1\Administrator', ('Password1' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)))
    'forest2.net' = (New-Object pscredential('forest2\Administrator', ('Password2' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)))
    'forest3.net' = (New-Object pscredential('forest3\Administrator', ('Password3' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)))
    'a.forest1.net' = (New-Object pscredential('a\Administrator', ('Password1' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)))
    'b.forest1.net' = (New-Object pscredential('b\Administrator', ('Password1' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)))

  • Move Exchange mailboxes to O365 via PowerShell script

    We are having a problem getting our scripting to work. We have to move 200-300 mailboxes (on a daily basis) to O365. This is an ongoing process. Currently we have over 700,000 mailboxes in the cloud. (Those numbers are correct.)
    We want to automate this process by exporting the list of mailboxes from the EMC (2010) to a CSV file.  Then to run a PS script within an Azure Active Directory PowerShell.
    Here is what we currently have ...
    ========================
    $cred = Get-Credential
    domain.com\<exchange-admin-account>
    <password>
    Import-Csv book1.csv | Select-Object -ExpandProperty `Alias' | foreach {New-MoveRequest -Remote -RemoteHostName 'webmail.domain.com' -RemoteCredential $cred -TargetDeliveryDomain 'service.domain.com' -verbose}
    ==============================
    There is a 'disconnect between the first two pipe segments from the last pipe segment.
    For example ... Import-Csv book1.csv | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'Alias'  works well, and returns a list of the user alias' to the screen.
    Most of the last pipe segment works well, also.
    {New-MoveRequest -Remote -RemoteHostName 'webmail.domain.com' -RemoteCredential $cred -TargetDeliveryDomain 'service.domain.com' -verbose}     This portion work well for us.
    The 'disconnect' is that the data from the first portion does not translate into the variable to the actual MoveRequest. 
    Anyone have any ideas? What are we missing?
    Thank you in advance.

    Does it work if you remove 'foreach' and  { }, as in:
    Import-Csv book1.csv | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Alias |
    New-MoveRequest -Remote -RemoteHostName 'webmail.domain.com' `
    -RemoteCredential $cred -TargetDeliveryDomain 'service.domain.com' `
    -verbose
    When you put the 'foreach' keyword on the right-hand side of a pipe (|), it sends each output object (in your example, alias names) to the code in between { } after the 'foreach' keyword. When the 'foreach' keyword is on the right-hand side of a pipe, it
    is really an alias for 'ForEach-Object'.
    If that does not work, then try it this way:
    Import-Csv book1.csv | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Alias | foreach-object {
    New-MoveRequest -Identity $_ -Remote -RemoteHostName 'webmail.domain.com' `
    -RemoteCredential $cred -TargetDeliveryDomain 'service.domain.com' `
    -verbose
    In this case I am guessing that the alias from the CSV file would be the
    -Identity parameter of New-MoveRequest, so you would have to substitute the correct parameter name if it's not
    -Identity.
