Last time we explained how to add permissions to mailbox or mailbox folder in Microsoft Exchange 2010.
But what if we need to check users permissions for mailboxes ?
To check permissions assigned to mailbox we need to use Get-MailboxPermission CMDlet.
But if we run:
Get-MailboxPermission JSmith
we will get list of all permissions including owner and inherited permissions
W can filter permissions by adding where with specified options like below, where we don’t want to get owners permissions and inherited permissions in output list:
Get-MailboxPermission JSmith | where {$_.user.ToString() -ne "NT AUTHORITY\SELF" -and $_.IsInherited -eq $false}
If we need to check all mailboxes on server MX01 we need to add Get-Mailbox and pipline output to Get-MailboxPermission like below:
Get-Mailbox -server MX01 -ResutlSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission JSmith | where {$_.user.ToString() -ne "NT AUTHORITY\SELF" -and $_.IsInherited -eq $false}
To check only Send-As permissions we can run following command:
Get-Mailbox -server MX01 -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-ADPermission | where {($_.ExtendedRights -like “*Send-As*”) -and ($_.IsInherited -eq $false) -and -not ($_.User.ToString() -like “NT AUTHORITY\SELF”)}
But if we want to list permissions to mailbox folder we have to use Get-MailboxFolderPermission CMDlet and choose folder to check.
This example will check permissions to JSmith mailbox calendar folder:
Get-MailboxFolderPermission –identity “JSmith*:\Calendar”
Today Novembert 1st 2012 Apple released an update for iOS6 and claims issue with meetings stands resolved.
On Apple Support WebSite we can find information about update for iOS6 to iOS 6.0.1
This Apple software update to iOS 6.0.1 resolves few main problems with IPhone 5.
But for us the most important is that Apple update to iOS 6.0.1 resolves Exchange meetings problems when you are using Apple devices.
Informations about Apple iOS 6.0.1 Software Update can be found here:

Few days ago, we wrote about problems with Apple mobile devices updated to iOS6, and also we wrote how to check mobile devices connected to mailboxes in Exchange 2010.
Below you can find link to last post:
Exchange 2010 ActiveSync Devices list
Now because lot of people have problems with mobile devices with iOS6 connected to mailboxes on Exchange 2010, we want to show you how you can get check how many mobile devices are connected to mailboxes in your Exchange 2010 environment.
To get list of all mobile devices connected to mailbox JSmith use below command:
Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox JSmith | ft DeviceType, DeviceUserAgent, LastSuccessSync
Now we need to get all mailboxes from MB01 server and get list of all mobile devices which were used to connect to those mailboxes.
To do this we need to use both command: Get-Mailbox and Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics
If we want to get all mailboxes from MB01 server:
$MBXs = Get-Mailbox -server MB01 -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox –ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled -eq $false}
Now we need to check mobile devices:
After updating yours Exchange 2010 SP2 environment to Rollup 4 or Rollup 4-v2 you can find errors in EventLog like below:

Sometimes helps applying the following hotfix to Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0:
Filterpack2010-kb2597139-fullfile-x64-glb.exe
If you uninstall Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP2 the errors won’t appear anymore.
Few days ago, when Apple released iOS6 we informed you about IOS6 and Exchange problems:
Exchange ActiveSync problems after upgrading IPhone or IPad to iOS6
After recent release of iOS6 Microsoft noticed increased support calls due to meetings having the owner of the meeting changed – meeting “hijacking”.
