If you have an Office365 account, you likely know that you have 50GB worth of storage space. However, it is not obvious how much of that 50GB limit you are currently using. Questions like: ‘How large is all of my email’, ‘How much space do I have left in my Office365 email?’ and ‘What is my mailbox usage on Office365?’ need answers. There are four ready ways to determine the size of the mailbox in Office365:…
If you have ever been asked who has a particular email alias on an Exchange server, you know you in for trouble because the answer is not readily apparent in the Exchange Management Console. The easiest way I know to find alias names in Exchange is to use the PowerShell Script below to export all the alias’ to a CSV: Launch the Exchange Management Shell Copy and Paste the following script into the shell: Get-Mailbox…
If you are like most companies, when staff leave you delete their email accounts but you likely don’t give much thought to the Distribution Lists that they used. After a few years you can have quite a few unused Distribution Lists which does not do anyone good so you should remove them. However, your likely afraid to just dump them based on your intuition that they are unused and so you need some numbers to…

POLICY NAME HERE>”).Identity Enjoy. Share This With Your Friends Now:
If you need to apply a particular ActiveSync policy to only a particular Distribution Group you can run (and modify) the following script. # Put members of the Dist Group into a dynamic array $allMembers = Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity ‘<DISTRIBUTION GROUP NAME HERE>‘ # Loop through each person in the allMembers array foreach ($member in $allMembers) { # Set ActiveSync for each member of the array $member | Set-CASMailbox -ActiveSyncEnabled $true # Set ActiveSync Policy for each member of…

In a word, no. I have spent several days trying to find a clear answer the to this question in white papers, blogs and even MS Partner Support. I think Microsoft will offer this service in the not so distant future because it just makes sense to. Using the Office 365 Feedback link (below) I posted the following question (which I may never receive a response to). If you want to use Exchange Online as a fail over…
If you want to know who REALLY sent you an email and not what Outlook is reporting who sent you an email, you just need to check what Outlook actually received in its header. The header contains all kinds of useful tech bits and is often modified by systems that touch and retransmit the message (such as an external anti-spam service from your internet provider). To see a message header in Outlook 2007 2010 or 2013:…

This was a frustrating error that, if I had slowed down for 2 minutes, would have been easy for me to figure out what was wrong. The issue was that the Exchange Power Shell – Management Shell cmdlets was not in the location Exchange expected sooooo, I had to run the standard Windows Server Power Shell and load the commands manually: Right click on the standard Windows Power Shell and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR paste in…
Well this was a minor annoyance I could have done without. Fortunately the solution is very simple. If you are trying to SHARE a Calendar in Outlook and you receive the dreaded: Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network you have likely typed the recipients email address in or used the address from your cached addresses. That will not work. What…
I recently needed to add 50 new contacts into my Exchange 2007 server and had no intention of completing this task by manually. I am not the greatest PowerShell guy but I knew this would be easy… and it was. Create a file named C:\CONTACTS.CSV file like following Name,DisplayName,EmailAddress,Alias,Title,Company,Department Tom Test,tomtest,[email protected],ttest,CEO,TGS,Surveys John Rotten,JohnRotten,[email protected],ttest,Chief Financial Officer, TGS,Corporate Launch EXCHANGE POWER SHELL and use the following command: import-csv c:\contacts.csv | foreach { new-mailcontact -alias $_.Alias -name $_.displayName…
Last night I ran Windows Update patches on my Exchange 2007 server and now BlackBerry’s can not send or receive email. All services are running and can restart without problem. I can log into Blackberry Admin Service without problem. If this sounds like your problem, then you likely have the same problem I had, an old and now unsupported, CDO 1.2.1 . You can verify this by going to the server, logging in to Windows…
