Family, Cool Stuff and Assorted Geekery; the finer things in life. Updated when I have something interesting to write :)
This is an update to my function to extract Mailbox folder permissions as PowerShell objects, allowing various forms of processing.
The main script is here.
In this update I’ve made the function skip some default folders it can’t process, treat the root of the mailbox better and improved the logging.
Within Exchange (on-premise or Online) it’s sometimes helpful to export the delegate permissions that a user can set within their mailbox. Get-MailboxFolderPermission is the cmdlet which will export that information for a particular folder. The identifier needs to be in the format “john@contoso.com:\Marketing\Reports”.
That said there’s not an easy way to export the permissions on ALL folders within a mailbox and the output for that command isn’t very helpful for further processing.
So; script. It’ll take a mailbox as a parameter and output the permissions on all the mailbox folders (and subfolders) as objects.
I wrote a post about the initial version of the script and how it works in Part 1 here.
The first update, allowing the function to deal with special folders and the root better is here (Part 2).
I’ve also made the script stand-alone now (rather than a function). So just save this as a .ps1 file and run it with the MailboxToProcess parameter and it will work.
ie;
$MB=Get-Mailbox Ororo.Monroe
c:\scripts\path\New-FolderPermissionReportObjectArray.ps1 -MailboxToProcess $MB
