Server 2016 Data De-duplication Report – Powershell

I put together this crude little script to send out a report on a  daily basis

it’s not that fancy but its functional 

I’m working on the second revision with an HTML body, lists of corrupted files, Resource usage, more features will be added as I dive further into Dedupe CMDlets.

Link to the Script – Dedupe_report.ps1

If you have any suggestions for improvements please comment and share with everyone

Managing calendar permissions in Exchange Server 2010

Admin may get asked to set and add / Edit permissions for shared Calendars.
these Sharing options are not available in EMC, so we have to use exchange power shell on the server to manipulate them.
View existing Calendar permissions
Get-MailboxFolderPermission -identity "Networking Calendar:Calendar"
There are 4 MailboxFolderPermission cmdlets in Exchange Server 2010:
Each cmdlet have different syntax, follow the links for more information..
In this scenario we need to set following permissions to the Calendar Resource named “Networking Calendar.

user – “Nyckie” – full permissions

all users – permissions to add events without the delete permission

  • To assign calendar permissions to new users  “Add-MailboxFolderPermission”
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "Networking Calendar:Calendar" -User [email protected] -AccessRights Owner
 
  • To Change existing calendar permissions  “set-MailboxFolderPermission”
set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "Networking Calendar:Calendar" -User default -AccessRights NonEditingAuthor
 
This assigns the owner righs to the user “nyckig” for the calendar of the “Networking Calendar” resource.and sets NonEditingAuthor permissions as the default permission for the calendar for all other users
__________________________________________
Here are the other permission levels you can assign:-
None – FolderVisible
Owner – CreateItems, ReadItems, CreateSubfolders, FolderOwner, FolderContact, FolderVisible, EditOwnedItems, EditAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, DeleteAllItems
PublishingEditor – CreateItems, ReadItems, CreateSubfolders, FolderVisible, EditOwnedItems, EditAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, DeleteAllItems
Editor – CreateItems, ReadItems, FolderVisible, EditOwnedItems, EditAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, DeleteAllItems
PublishingAuthor – CreateItems, ReadItems, CreateSubfolders, FolderVisible, EditOwnedItems, DeleteOwnedItems
Author – CreateItems, ReadItems, FolderVisible, EditOwnedItems, DeleteOwnedItems NonEditingAuthor – CreateItems, ReadItems, FolderVisible
Reviewer – ReadItems, FolderVisible
Contributor – CreateItems, FolderVisible
The following roles apply specifically to calendar folders:
AvailabilityOnly – View only availability data

LimitedDetails – View availability data with subject and location
