Powershell – How to list users in Exchange Powershell on an Exchange 2007 environment

exchange-2007mailboxpowershell

I'm trying to verify that I've added a user in our Domain to a shared mailbox. I've used the command in the exchange powershell console:

add-mailboxpermission 'shared mailbox name here' -User: 'ADlogin' -AccessRights:FullAccess

I've seen confirmation it was added, but I would like to display the users that are attached to this shared mailbox, How can I see that?

If you want to know what permissions has been given on a mailbox:

Get-MailboxPermission -Identity "shared mailbox name here"

If you want to know what permissions a specific user has on a mailbox, use:

Get-MailboxPermission -Identity "Shared mailbox name here" -User "The user with permissions"

Last but not least, the special "Send on behalf" privilege is set on the mailbox as a multivalue property containing all users who can "Send on behalf" (but not necessarily AS) the mailbox owner. To retrieve a list of all the grantees on a mailbox:

(Get-Mailbox -Identity "Shared Mailbox Name Here").GrantSendOnBehalfTo

Don't forget the parentheses :-)

Powershell – How to get Exchange 2007 PowerShell commands for property changes

The Exchange Management Shell will log all of the PowerShell commands it executes if you set a registry key that enables logging. The commands will be logged to the Event Viewer in the PowerShell folder.

The key can be set by navigating to:

HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin

using Regedit and creating a string value named LogpipelineExecutionDetails with a value of "1".

This registry value can also be created using the following PowerShell command:

Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin -Name LogpipelineExecutionDetails -value 1

Powershell – Retrieve a user’s Exchange database in powershell

This should get you on the right track, the caveat being that you'd need the AD powershell stuff working; this requires at least one 2008R2 DC.

GetADUser -Identity "$RUser" -Properties homeMDB

On a side note, careful with your word-auto-formatted directional quotes - I don't know off the top of my head whether Powershell plays nice with those, but they certainly did a number on StackExchange's code coloring.

I don't envy you trying to do this in powershell - be careful to validate the inputs that are user enterable, and log the results of the commands.

Edit: You know what, that property from AD would probably not be formatted how exchange wants it. Try this instead (and won't need 2008R2):

$RData = (Get-User -Identity "$RUser" | Get-Mailbox | Select-Object Database)
