Good Day,

I'm just looking for quick assistance in running a couple commands in a custom command. These are Exchange Management Shell commands that would need to be called from within an existing Custom command that already converts the user to a shared mailbox. We also require the following commands to run

Set-Mailbox -Identity $mailbox.alias -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled $true Set-Mailbox -Identity $mailbox.alias -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $true

I've seen the following article on how to access emc from a powershell script and would like to confirm there is no simpler method

https://www.adaxes.com/script-repository/connect-to-exchange-with-powershell-s506.htm

We use an on-prem exchange server, please let me know if you require any more information

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is currently no other possibility to manage the MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled and MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled mailbox properties in Adaxes except using a script. However, thank you for the suggestion, we passed it to the corresponding department for consideration. To connect to your on-premises Exchange, use the Exchange On-Premises script from the repository article you mentioned. Should you have any issues writing the script, please, provide us with all the possible details regarding the required behavior along with live examples and we will help you.

Hello,

Can you verify then that the below is free of syntax errors that I may have missed? Also I assume this will apply against the mailbox being accessed via the custom command:

$exchangeServer = "servername.domain.com" # TODO: modify me

{
    # Connect to Exchange server
    $session = New-PSSession -connectionURI "http://$exchangeServer/powershell" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange
    Import-PSSession -session $session -CommandName "Set-Mailbox"

    # Set commands against the mailbox
Set-Mailbox -Identity $mailbox.alias -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled $true
Set-Mailbox -Identity $mailbox.alias -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $true
}

{
    # Close the remote session and release resources
    if ($session) { Remove-PSSession -Session $session}

Hello,

In the provided script, the try and finally blocks are missing. The Set-Mailbox cmdlet is executed on the mailbox of the user the custom command is running on. Hence, there is no need to use the $mailbox variable. The %distinguishedName% value reference can be used instead. Also, there is no need to execute the Set-Mailbox cmdlet twice, both parameters can be set in a single call of the cmdlet. Please, find the updated script below.

$exchangeServer = "servername.domain.com" # TODO: modify me

try
{
    # Connect to Exchange server
    $session = New-PSSession -connectionURI "http://$exchangeServer/powershell" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange
    Import-PSSession -session $session -CommandName "Set-Mailbox"

    # Set commands against the mailbox
    Set-Mailbox -Identity "%distinguishedName%" -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled $true -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $true
}
finally
{
    # Close the remote session and release resources
    if ($session) { Remove-PSSession -Session $session}
}
