Reporting on Mailbox sizes and counts for the Deleted-Items (or any other folder in a mailbox) for all users on a Server

Here’s one more use for an adaption of the mailbox age script I posted a while ago the mailbox manager is a great tool for enforcing age limits on mailbox folders if you would like some reporting outside of what the mailbox manager produces on folders that you intended to implement age restrictions on then this script may help.

Before running this script you need to set 2 variables in the code the first is the number of days you want this script to report on. Eg if you set it to 7 days it will produce a report of the number of items and size of those items in the folder you configure in the next variable that are under 7 days old and those that are over 7 days old. The second variable that needs to be set is the folder you want to run against by default its set to the deleted items folder.

numbdays = 7
folderurl = "/Deleted Items/"

By default the script doesn’t re-curse sub folders within the folder you configure if you want this to happen you need to unrem the following line In the script

Rem call RecurseFolder(falias & folderurl) ' Uncomment this line for recursion

What the script does is accepts one commandline parameter which is the servername of the server you want it to run against. It looks up active directory for all the users on this server and then connects to the server via the admin virtual root and then checks the folder you configure and looks at the size and age of each message. It them builds a html report for every user it found in Active directory and writes the report to the temp directory. For some more detail on the inner workings of the script please refer to my other post.

To run the script use a commandline such as cscript cntitems.vbs yourservername

I’ve put a download of the code 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
