Combined Summary and Audit VBS Script for all appointments in all calendars on a Server via WebDAV

This is a combination of two of my posts from last week the first was Euricelia's "Creating a Report of Meeting Organizers for all appointments in all calendars on a Server via WebDAV" script and then my "Creating a Summary Email of all appointments within a Users Calendar for given period" . This script goes through every mailbox on the server using WebDAV via the Exchange Virtual directory and produces a HTML report of all the meeting of all users on the server during the configured time period with Outlook hyperlinks to all the appointments. I've added two extra columns to this report the first is the free/busy status of the appointment (useful if you have change the free busy status of appointment in resource mailboxes) and also the new Time Zone Mapi property that Matt Stehle blogged about the other day. (This is displayed in the report as NewClients) which should show whether the rebasing tool has modified the appointment (whether its now set to the correct time is another matter completely unless the Server develops ESP you can never be 100% sure)

To run this script you need to set the the following commandline variables

servername = "SERVERNAME"
username = "USERNAME"
password = "PASSWORD"

If you using NTLM authentication in OWA then you can leave the Username and Password blank (make sure you set them to null though). This script wont really work if you using FBA for this you should look at the virtual admin root or see the powershell sample in my next post.

I've put a downloadable copy of this script here the script itself looks like

The MailboxConcurrency limit and using Batching in the Microsoft Graph API

If your getting an error such as Application is over its MailboxConcurrency limit while using the Microsoft Graph API this post may help you understand why. Background   The Mailbox  concurrency limit when your using the Graph API is 4 as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/throttling#outlook-service-limits . This is evaluated for each app ID and mailbox combination so this means you can have different apps running under the same credentials and the poor behavior of one won't cause the other to be throttled. If you compared that to EWS you could have up to 27 concurrent connections but they are shared across all apps on a first come first served basis. Batching Batching in the Graph API is a way of combining multiple requests into a single HTTP request. Batching in the Exchange Mail API's EWS and MAPI has been around for a long time and its common, for email Apps to process large numbers of smaller items for a variety of reasons.  Batching in the Graph is limited to a m

Sending a Message in Exchange Online via REST from an Arduino MKR1000

This is part 2 of my MKR1000 article, in this previous post  I looked at sending a Message via EWS using Basic Authentication.  In this Post I'll look at using the new Outlook REST API  which requires using OAuth authentication to get an Access Token. The prerequisites for this sketch are the same as in the other post with the addition of the ArduinoJson library  https://github.com/bblanchon/ArduinoJson  which is used to parse the Authentication Results to extract the Access Token. Also the SSL certificates for the login.windows.net  and outlook.office365.com need to be uploaded to the devices using the wifi101 Firmware updater. To use Token Authentication you need to register an Application in Azure https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/howto/add-common-consent-manually  with the Mail.Send permission. The application should be a Native Client app that use the Out of Band Callback urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob. You need to authorize it in you tenant (eg build a small ap

How to test SMTP using Opportunistic TLS with Powershell and grab the public certificate a SMTP server is using

Most email services these day employ Opportunistic TLS when trying to send Messages which means that wherever possible the Messages will be encrypted rather then the plain text legacy of SMTP.  This method was defined in RFC 3207 "SMTP Service Extension for Secure SMTP over Transport Layer Security" and  there's a quite a good explanation of Opportunistic TLS on Wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_TLS .  This is used for both Server to Server (eg MTA to MTA) and Client to server (Eg a Message client like Outlook which acts as a MSA) the later being generally Authenticated. Basically it allows you to have a normal plain text SMTP conversation that is then upgraded to TLS using the STARTTLS verb. Not all servers will support this verb so if its not supported then a message is just sent as Plain text. TLS relies on PKI certificates and the administrative issue s that come around certificate management like expired certificates which is why I wrote th
