In previous post Exchange 2010 Mailbox Folder Permissions we explained how to add permissions to mailbox or mailbox folder.

After a while, when you add permissions to mailbox you will forget mailbox, permissions and users.

 

Exchange 2010 get list of mailboxes with assigned permissions

 

If you want to get list of all mailboxes with assigned Full Access permisions you need to use example like below:

Get-Mailbox -Server “MX01” -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission | where {($_.AccessRights -eq “FullAccess”) -and ($_.IsInherited -eq $false) -and ($_.User.ToString() -ne “NT AUTHORITY\SELF”)}

Above example will list all mailboxes on server MX01 and check assigned permissions to those mailboxes. If any of those mailboxes will have assigned Full Access permission which is not Inherited and permission is not for user “NT Authority\Self” (it means for mailbox owner) then you will receive list of mailboxes with user account name and permissions.

 

We can also check belowed permissions instead of Full Access:

Lot of users reports problems with Exchange ActiveSync after upgrading IPhone or IPad to iOS6.

If you have IPhone or IPad and you upgrade your device to iOS 6, then if you want to create new ActiveSync profile on your device it fail.
The new iOS 6 has problem with populate all fields required for automatic profiles setup.

But if you already have a ActiveSync profile on your IPhone/IPad and then upgrade to iOS 6, everything works fine.

There is also another bug iOS6 with Exchange meeting invitations.

The issue appear when user with iOS 6 decline a meeting invitation.
After user decline, iOS 6 is sending meeting cancellation notices to the entire distribution list, what causes canceling the invitation for all attendees.

So users with iOS 6 are being asked no to accept or decline calendar appointments until the problem has been resolved.

Some companies are requesting theirs emloyees not upgrade to iOS 6 until a bug with Microsoft Exchange meetings invitations will be fixed.
