Note : Do not do this if you have multiple Exchange Servers in the Environment. As you might end up with an Error – Powershell already Exists

At times we had to recreate this Power shell virtual Directory when it goes corrupted or when wrong customizations done and you might end up in a Exchange  Management Console issue. So recreating will be the last option.

Before Proceeding – Make sure you are able to run “New-PowershellVirtualDirectory” Cmdlet – Type “New-Po” and Then press your TAB key it should resolve your command

Step 1:

Run

Get-PowerShellVirtualDirectory

make sure it Returns the Existing PowerShellVirtualDirectory

In multitenant environment even a admin account cannot access all the users in every tenant mailbox. Even giving AD permissions over those tenant users won’t work.

Let say a BESadmin account needs EWS permission for all the tenants in the Organizations. To do a Calendar sync or sending and receiving Meetings require EWS Permissions

As its in hosted mode. Every tenant Organization will have their own set of permissions

In order to provide EWS permissions for all the Tenant Users you need to create a Custom RBAC

Lets see how to do it.

Step 1:

Creating a Scope

New-ManagementScope -PartnerDelegatedTenantRestrictionFilter {Name -eq '*'} -Name BESEnabledOrgs

Step 2:

Create a Custom Role

New-ManagementRole -Parent PartnerDelegatedTenantManagement -Name EWSAccessforApp 

Step 3:

Assign it to a Service account

New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role EWSAccessforApp -User "BESAdmin” -CustomConfigWriteScope BESEnabledOrgs

 

Now Besadmin should work without any issues – Calendar meetings.

In some instances we had to Convert Dynamic Distribution Group to Normal Distribution Group .

In order to Sync in Office 365, in few other scenarios we had to do this as well

Lets see how to do it.

I would prefer to Create a  new Distribution Group with the same filter. where deleting and recreating might create some cache issues and NDR issues

Lets say I have a dynamic Distribution Group with the Name DG1

Its has a filter “CustomAttribute1 –eq CareExchange”

image S

 Step 1:

Save the Dynamic Distribution Group to a Variable

$DynamicDG = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup “DG1”

image

Step2:

Now run the below Command to list the Existing members of the Dynamic DG

Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $DynamicDG.RecipientFilter

image

Now Save the Members in a Variable

$DG1Members = Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $DynamicDG.RecipientFilter

image

Step 3:

Now Create a New Distribution Group

New-DistributionGroup DG1Cloud

image

Adding the DynamicDistributionGroup members into a New Distribution Group

$DG1Members | foreach{Add-DistributionGroupmember DG1Cloud –Member $_.Name}

image

Verifying the members of the New Distribution Group

image

Now you got a Copy of your Dynamic Distribution Group safely Created as a Normal Distribution Group

Depends upon your situation , You can delete the existing one and Rename the Newly Created one.

and Make sure you are not going to get into Outlook Cache issues.
