Office 365 Pre-filling TimeZone

[Davit2005]

Whenever I try to do this it causes problems with the user opening their Outlook, it says there is a problem with the users mailbox.

 

We seem to notice when I try and set the TimeZone for UK and I'm wondering if it is down to the code I am using it does set the language fine but not the Time Zone.

 

set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -TimeZone "GMT Standard Time" -Language en-GB

 

We have a script that runs first which uploads students to Office 365 (until we setup DirSync). A while after the students have been uploaded a second script comes along, Sets the mailbox configuration for each unlicensed student and then applies licences.

 

We will set up DirSync soon but will need to have a script to follow that assigns licenses anyway so this is why I have broken down onto to tasks.

Looks like the right command.

 

I used

 

Get-Mailbox -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox'} | set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Timezone "GMT Standard Time" -Language en-GB

It doesn't seem to recognize the cmdlet 'set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration' even when I type manually.

You need to import the commands

 

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange-ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $Session

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Interesting. When I called Microsoft support and asked if this can be predefined, they said no!

Sounds about right for Microsoft Support.

That's exactly what I am doing but the PowerShell says no

 

Is there a way I can test that I am actually connected to the Office 365 with PowerShell????

You need the Azure modules by the sound of it.

Well I fixed the issue with the command.

 

The user account (a basic user administration account) that I was using in the script didn't have the command available but when I log in with my own account the command is available

I have found now that you need to add a switch for it to populate and go straight into Outlook

 

-Timezone "GMT Standard Time" -confirm:$False
