Family, Cool Stuff and Assorted Geekery; the finer things in life. Updated when I have something interesting to write :)
After a few comments about the logs, I’ve re-written the logging code in addition to fixing some bugs and cleaning up the function names. Continue reading “PowerShell: Synchronizing a Folder (and Sub-Folders) Part 13”
Adding a -PassThru option and fixed a very odd bug. Continue reading “PowerShell: Synchronizing a Folder (and Sub-Folders) Part 11”
Hi. In this part I add some text logging to the script. Not much else I can say really 🙂 Continue reading “PowerShell: Synchronizing a Folder (and Sub-Folders) Part 10”
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.
Hi. Here’s another update on the Sync-Folder script. The script itself is at that link but in this post I go over the changes I made and how they work.
The main addition is the support for -WhatIf (so you can test the script runs without it making changes). In addition I fixed some odd bugs with the Filter and Exceptions parameters. Plus some more Verbose logging and I tidied up the script a bit (removing some of the cmdlet aliases and replacing them with the full commands).

This update corrects an issue where parts of the configuration XML are missing; what if you don’t want Exceptions or Filters? Continue reading “PowerShell: Synchronizing a Folder (and Sub-Folders) Part 8”
Hi. Here’s another update on the Sync-Folder script. In this update Strict mode goes on, I make sure the statistics reset between runs, the Statistics output is rewritten and I add the option to only sync items that match a $Filter.
Update : I’ve revisited this script a few times with new additions and modifications.The latest full version of the script is here. That post also includes links covering the other revisions to the script. Continue reading “PowerShell: Synchronizing a Folder (and Sub-Folders) Part 7”
Hi. Here’s another update on the Sync-Folder script here. In this part I add some more code to use literal paths (so that special characters don’t cause the sync to fail) and a report of the numbers of copies, updates, folder removals etc performed.

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

I’ve made some more changes to the syncing script. The first was some corrections about how it deals with paths with ‘odd’ symbols in them (like “[“) and the second was to properly output objects listing all the changes its made (for logging or further processing).
Update : I’ve revisited this script a few times with new additions and modifications.The latest full version of the script is here. That post also includes links covering the other revisions to the script.
