Pending Moderation Summary Report Email EWS/Powershell Script

This is a follow-up script to my last post about Moderation , This script produces a summary email of all the Pending Moderation Request email's from an Approver's Mailbox. The Summary basically consists of a HTML table where the Subject is Hyper-linked via the "Outlook:" + HexID link so you can double click the subject to open the approval email in Outlook (as long you have rights to the Approvers mailbox).

To run the script there are three configurable variables

$MailboxName = "user@domain.com"  - This is the Mailbox where the Approval email you want to report on are located

$TimeFrame = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) - This is the TimeFrame you want to query from eg this will just query for the last 24 hours

$ReportAddress = "user@domain.com" - This is the Email address the Reports will be sent to

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

1. $MailboxName = "user@domain.com"  
2. $TimeFrame = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)  
3. $ReportAddress = "user@domain.com"
