Powershell script for creating an O365 cloud mailbox within a hybrid exchange environment

By admin

I recently wrote this script that creates an O365 mailbox within a hybrid exchange environment, creating all the necessary attributes etc in exchange and AD Log all output to a local logfile, that is unique each time and won’t get overwritten

[cc lang="powershell"]Start-Transcript -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA"CloudwyseLogs"$(get-date -Format ddMMyy_HHmmss)".log" -NoClobber[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Start-Transcript -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA"CloudwyseLogs"$(get-date -Format ddMMyy_HHmmss)".log" -NoClobber[/cc]

O365 hybrid setup – how to use SMTP matching to match an on-prem user to an O365 account

By admin

The scenario is that a user account has been created in Office 365 in a hybrid setup. This scenario is actually ok and is supported by Microsoft. However, it causes problems for an Office 365 user when they require access to public folders on the on-premises Exchange server. First make sure you have the correct…

Set O365 Password to never expire for just one user

By admin

Recently I needed to do this for our PRTG alerting account which was failing to send notifications as the O365 password had expired. I did this from Powershell within Windows 10 as follows: Launch powershell as Administrator then run

[cc lang="powershell"]Connect-MsOlService[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Connect-MsOlService[/cc]

Add AD security group to local administrators on Hyper-V server running core

By admin

First connect to the remote server with powershell

[cc lang="powershell"]Enter-PSSession -ComputerName contoso\hv01[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Enter-PSSession -ComputerName contoso\hv01[/cc]

Next run the command to add the group:

[cc lang="powershell"]Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "CONTOSO\Hyper-V Admins"[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "CONTOSO\Hyper-V Admins"[/cc]

If you’re paranoid (like me) and want to check this worked you can use:

[cc lang="powershell"]Get-LocalGroupMember "Administrators"[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Get-LocalGroupMember "Administrators"[/cc]

Hyper-V host running core – check RAM from remote server with Powershell

By admin

Here’s a little script I created that was useful to check the amount of physical RAM installed on a Hyper-V server running core. It reports the amount of physical RAM in the host as well as the amount of RAM which is actually visible and addressable to the server. It also reports the RAM which…
