Enumerate all members of a group

this works for any type of group; thanks to Amit Tank from the technet forums for the syntax! Again the actual pipe key doesn't show up in blogger so I've replaced it with the word PIPE.

$grp = get-group “Group Name”
$grp.members PIPE fl Name

My 15 minutes!

Well, 9 minutes and 16 seconds anyway.

Some Handy powershell cmdlets with syntax (note the pipe doesn't show up in blogger, so i'll use the word PIPE)

Setup Resource Mailboxes (like a new conf room).
1st, add create the new mailbox with EMC, then with EMS:

Add-MailboxPermission -AccessRights FullAccess -Identity ResourceMailbox -User Test1
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -AutomateProcessing:AutoAccept

Add Mailbox Rights
Add-MailboxPermission "Mailbox" -User "Trusted User" -AccessRights FullAccess

Get Mailbox Sizes for all users
Get-MailboxStatistics PIPE fl totalitemsize, displayname

Set Rights for BesAdmin on a mailbox server (any time one is added)
Get-mailboxserver PIPE add-adpermission –user BESAdmin -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-Admin

Get Mailbox Size/Location for 1 user
get-mailboxstatistics user.name PIPE fl

To get detailed information about the mailbox and what folders might be large, run this:
Get-mailboxfolderstatistics user.name

Force the GAL to update:
Get-globaladdresslist PIPE update-globaladdress list

Godaddy.com Subject Alternate Name certificate (SAN cert)

I purchased the UCC cert for 5 domain names for $90 (they don't call it a SAN cert) and added the godaddy trusted root cert into the main certificate store, then with the SAN cert just from powershell :

import-exchangecertificate -path c:\owa.company.com.crt enable-exchangecertificate -services IIS, SMTP, POP, IMAP

the pipe won't show up on blogger but you need a pipe before the enable as you are passing the import command data along to the enable command.

Passed 70-238 with a 908

This test was just weird. 70-236 and 70-237 were right on with the MS objectives, however this one was just all over the place. I obviously can't say much about it, but like any other test, if you have real world experience and know your stuff, you'll pass. At the time of this post, neither 237 nor 238 have books released so I just took the tests blind (but with 2nd shot) and passed easily from being in the trenches with exchange 07.

Passed 70-237 with a breeze

That was a little too easy I think, I got a 921, again the exam objectives on the MS site are all covered, know your AD infrastructure or don't even try this one.

Passed 70-236 today, taking 237 friday

Obviously I can't say much about it, but the exam objectives listed on MS's site were dead on. The test did make me wonder who really backs up the queue databases on their hub transport servers?

There is no book out for 237, so I'm taking blind (thank goodness for 2nd shot). Wish me luck.
