Default Calendar permission Powershell Gui for Exchange 2007

****Note if your using Exchange 2010 SP1 see http://gsexdev.blogspot.com/2011/01/default-calendar-permission-powershell.html which is a version that use the new Exchange Management Shell cmdlets *****

This is a sample script that uses the calendar permission helper class I posted here. This script basically presents a Winform that can be used to firstly enumerate all the default calendar permissions of all mailboxes on an Exchange Server and then you can do a multiple select and set a new default calendar permission level for one or more mailboxes. The script gives the option of specifying the authentication setting to use and the Cas Server you want to use. By default it tries to locate a cas server using the get- WebServicesVirtualDirectory cmdlet eg

[array]$calurls = Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory
$strRootURI = $calurls[0].InternalUrl.AbsoluteUri
$strRootURI

Using EWS impersonation allows you to set the calendar setting on a mailbox that the account running the script doesn’t have permissions to access to setup impersonation in EWS have a look at this from the Exchange SDK. The Specify Credentials check box allows you to specify the user credential to use when running the EWS operations. This script does rely on the Exchange-cmdlet's get-mailbox and get-user so it needs to be run from within the Exchange Management Shell.

If you select to use Exchange Impersonation the script will check to see if the account its going to impersonate first is disabled if it is then impersonation will not be use because you can’t impersonate a disable account.

To use the script you need to download the library from the other post as I marked in that post this code itself is very untested and I don’t consider it stable and or safe for use in a production environment I can only recommend that you use it in a test/dev environment and as a guide to building your own applications. The library needs to be located in the directory referenced in the following line

[void][Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("c:\temp\EWSUtil.dll")

I’ve put a download of this script here the code itself looks like

Warning this code may cause global warming if you use the Air con when you don't need to

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 Gr...

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 ...

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 ...
