Glen's Exchange and Office 365 Dev Blog

A big leap forward on Office365 compared with the current BPOS offering is the ability to use remote powershell and a subset of the Exchange cmdlets that are available in Exchange 2010. This makes it pretty easy to migrate your current onpremise scripts that use make use of EMS and EWS into something that uses remote powershell and EWS. To demonstrate this I've converted on my old scripts the FreeBusy board to use Remote powershell, Office365 and the EWS Managed API 1.1. I've put a download of the script here the code looks like $UserName = "admin@domain.com" $Password = "password1" $secpassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force $adminCredential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $UserName,$secpassword If(Get-PSSession | where-object {$_.ConfigurationName -eq "Microsoft.Exchange"}){ write-host "Session Exists" } else{ $rpRemotePowershell = New-PSSession -Configura

Another new edition is the ItemType box which allows you the select between being able to view the Normal Mailbox Items, FAI (Folder Associated Items) or Deleted Items (not really applicable for Dumpster v2). Lastly because the new script is built for use with Window
