Cheat Sheet: Setting Exchange Mailbox User Permissions via PowerShell

Reading Time: 4 minutes One of the things I get asked about quite a lot, is how you can set specific permissions in Exchange Server and Exchange Online. Most cases the Management Console (in 2010) or the Exchange Admin Center (EAC, Exchange 2013 & 2016 and Online) provide most basic permissions like Full Access, Send As and Send On Behalf. However, sometimes an admin has to set Send on Behalf permissions on a Shared Mailbox or disable AutoMapping, those options are not available via

Tool Tip: RBAC Manager R2 for Exchange

Reading Time: 2 minutes This week I had a session at a customer to customize the default RBAC roles, for instance removing the mobile device remote wipe feature from Recipient Management. Customizing RBAC roles is in most cases not something that is a frequent task, so it can take a while to familiarize and re-familiarize with the concept and all cmdlets. But if your organization does not fit in the default roles, you will have to dig into it. However, I came across a

Can we expect Exchange 2013 CU3 and 2010 SP3 RU3 soon? Keep watching KB2891587 and KB2892464!

Reading Time: 3 minutes UPDATE 2013/11/20: It looks like the links currently don’t work anymore, possibly because they referenced a non-released update. That’s too bad, but even when the update is not available yet this kind of information is still quite valuable (something I pointed out in a comment on the Exchange Team Blog The Road Ahead post) Just about an hour ago I saw a bunch of Knowledge base articles published for Exchange 2013 issues. All of them are fixed by Cumulative Update

Exchange RBAC might be more granular than you think

Reading Time: 2 minutes Most Exchange admins probably know (or should know ) the permission model since Exchange 2010 is Role Based Access Control, RBAC for short. With it, you can regulate quite granularly what admins and end-user are able to do, without the hassles of Access Control Lists (ACLs). However, it recently became clear that it might be more granular than you think. You can allow only certain types of PowerShell Cmdlets, have only change rights on a certain Organizational Unit (OU)or types

I will be presenting at the NGN Exchange evening event on 25th November

Reading Time: 2 minutes On the 25th of November the Dutch usergroup NGN (Netwerk Gebruikersgroep Nederland) will organize an Exchange themed evening event and I'm one of the speakers. I'm extra excited as it will be held at the OGD ICT Diensten head office in Delft, my employer! My session will be about Exchange and mobile devices, focused on ActiveSync but also on Outlook Web App and the OWA App for iPad/iPhone. A very interesting and currently relevant topic, if I say so myself

Blocking the Windows 8 Mail app in Exchange 2010 & 2013

Reading Time: 3 minutes I think I might start a new tradition: every time a major/important OS or update is released, I try find out how to block it from Exchange . Now, I know the Mail app has been around for some time now. If you recollect, I did some research on how Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) within the Mail app works in general and how it implements security settings in Windows 8. But especially since Windows 8.1 RT has been released yesterday with

Apple iPhone 5s TouchID and Exchange ActiveSync (updated)

Reading Time: 3 minutes 2013/10/17: Added support statement by Microsoft below Just today I was curious how the Apple biometric convenience solution TouchID on the iPhone 5s would impact password policies enforced by Exchange ActiveSync(EAS). I frequently run into complaints from Android users who previously used a Pattern Lock instead of a PIN to unlock their phones. When my EAS policy sets specific password requirements, the Pattern Lock is replaced by the phone OS to the more traditional PIN (or alphanumeric password) unlock. Unfortunately,
