Exchange 2010 - Useful Powershell Commands

[bodminman]

Hi there,

 

I've just started getting me head round using Exchange Powershell command so I thought I'd share some that I thought useful.

 

Please add more!

 

After adding new users run these commands to update the address lists:

Get-Globaladdresslist | update-Globaladdresslist

 

Get-Addresslist | Update-Addresslist

 

To restrict the number of recipients members of a database can send mail to:

 

Get-Mailbox -Database "Database name" -ResultSize Unlimited |Set-Mailbox -RecipientLimits 5

 

Creating a new mailbox database (new year groups):

new-mailboxdatabase -Server '' -Name '' -EdbFilePath 'E:\Exch2010-DBs\\.edb' -LogFolderPath 'E:\Exch2010-Logs\'

 

Mounting the new database:

 

Mount-Database -Identity ""

 

Setting mailbox limits within a database:

 

Set-MailboxDatabase -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota '45Mb' -ProhibitSendQuota '40Mb' -IssueWarningQuota '35Mb' -RetainDeletedItemsUntilBackup $true -Identity ""

 

Set mailbox offline address book:

 

Set-MailboxDatabase -OfflineAddressBook '\Default Offline Address Book' -Identity ""

 

Create new global address list:

 

New-GlobalAddressList -Name "

,OU=Exchange Groups,DC=XXX,DC=internal')}

 

Update GAL:

 

Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity "

"

 

Default GAL permission change:

 

Add-ADPermission -Identity $dngal -User "

" -AccessRights extendedright -ExtendedRights "open address list" -Deny:$True
