Export calendar Items to a CSV file using EWS and Powershell

Somebody asked about this last week and while I have a lot of EWS scripts that do access the Calendar I didn't have a simple example that just exported a list of the Calendar events with relevant information to a CSV file so here it is.

I've talked on this one before in this howto  but when you query the calendar folder using EWS you need to use a CalendarView which will expand any recurring appointments in a calendar. There are some limits when you use a calendarview in that you can only return a maximum of 2 years of appointments at a time and paging will limit the max number of items to 1000 per call. So if you have a calendar with a very large number of appointments you need to break your query into small date time blocks. In this example script I'm just grabbing the next 7 days of appointments if you want to query a longer period you need to adjust the following lines (keeping in mind what I just mentioned)

#Define Date to Query
$StartDate = (Get-Date)
$EndDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(7) 

The AppointmentState value being reporting on is this property I've put some code in that converts the Bitwise value back to its Enumeration Flags value (or values) so it makes it more readable.

With the Attendees I've also include the acceptance status if this is stored, note the acceptance status of all the attendees and resources will only be available on the Organizer copy of an appointment (which will be stored in the Organizers calendar).  The script produces a CSV that looks like



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

Testing and Sending email via SMTP using Opportunistic TLS and oAuth in Office365 with PowerShell

As well as EWS and Remote PowerShell (RPS) other mail protocols POP3, IMAP and SMTP have had OAuth authentication enabled in Exchange Online (Official announcement here ). A while ago I created  this script that used Opportunistic TLS to perform a Telnet style test against a SMTP server using SMTP AUTH. Now that oAuth authentication has been enabled in office365 I've updated this script to be able to use oAuth instead of SMTP Auth to test against Office365. I've also included a function to actually send a Message. Token Acquisition  To Send a Mail using oAuth you first need to get an Access token from Azure AD there are plenty of ways of doing this in PowerShell. You could use a library like MSAL or ADAL (just google your favoured method) or use a library less approach which I've included with this script . Whatever way you do this you need to make sure that your application registration  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-register-

How to access and restore deleted Items (Recoverable Items) in the Exchange Online Mailbox dumpster with the Microsoft Graph API and PowerShell

As the information on how to do this would cover multiple posts, I've bound this into a series of mini post docs in my GitHub Repo to try and make this subject a little easier to understand and hopefully navigate for most people.   The Binder index is  https://gscales.github.io/Graph-Powershell-101-Binder/   The topics covered are How you can access the Recoverable Items Folders (and get the size of these folders)  How you can access and search for items in the Deletions and Purges Folders and also how you can Export an item to an Eml from that folder How you can Restore a Deleted Item back to the folder it was deleted from (using the Last Active Parent FolderId) and the sample script is located  https://github.com/gscales/Powershell-Scripts/blob/master/Graph101/Dumpster.ps1

Using the MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) in EWS with Office365

Last July Microsoft announced here they would be disabling basic authentication in EWS on October 13 2020 which is now a little over a year away. Given the amount of time that has passed since the announcement any line of business applications or third party applications that you use that had been using Basic authentication should have been modified or upgraded to support using oAuth. If this isn't the case the time to take action is now. When you need to migrate a .NET app or script you have using EWS and basic Authentication you have two Authentication libraries you can choose from ADAL - Azure AD Authentication Library (uses the v1 Azure AD Endpoint) MSAL - Microsoft Authentication Library (uses the v2 Microsoft Identity Platform Endpoint) the most common library you will come across in use is the ADAL libraries because its been around the longest, has good support across a number of languages and allows complex authentications scenarios with support for SAML etc. The
