…. we interrupt this hiatus…. I will thank Microsoft later for this curve ball. As many of you might know, Exchange 201x only supported up to .NET 4.5.2. Recently 4.6.1 had been released and has even been added to the Windows Updates. If you are pulling updates automatically to your Exchange Servers (something I would…

Small Hiatus
Over the past few weeks I have churned out a few posts and in actuality I have a large backload of posts I want to get out. However, I need to turn my attention now to my other new project which is a book I am writing with a fellow Exchange MVP Dave Stork. We…
Office 365 Distribution Group Cleanup
This script is in its infancy and I am releasing it as a 1.0 script. It is heavily based of my Exchange 2010 and 2013/2016 version of my Distribution Group Cleanup script. The script performs the same actions as my other scripts. The main difference is that this one requires more reconfiguration on your part,…
Cleaning Up Those Pesky Distribution Lists
In the past I wrote a script that would cleanup Distribution Lists in Exchange 2010. My original post can be found HERE. In the newest version I’ve changed the ‘Get-TransportServer’ and replaced it with ‘Get-TransportService’ as Microsoft has deprecated ‘Get-TransportServer’ in Exchange 2013/2016. I’ve also cleaned up the code, put more comments in and added…

The current updates include: (1) Removing references for C++ cleanup that are no longer necessary * (2) Removing Office 2010 Filter Packs from the default installation ** (3) Fixing some bugs (4) Created logic for failed downloads – will even apply…
More AutoDiscover with Office 365/Exchange 2013 Migrations
As it seems I am always in the middle when stuff breaks. For this post I thought I would recall a couple of scenarios, the pain that followed as well as the solution that was found to fix the issue. Recently I was migrating clients from Exchange 2007. One was going to Office 365 and…
PowerShell and Mailbox Anchoring
What a pain. A new feature by Microsoft that was apparently intended to enhance the experience of the Exchange Admin has instead created a new challenge for those supporting and or migrating Exchange Servers. If you don’t know what this is, please review the EHLO blog post HERE. Why Does This Matter? For those still…
IMAP4 / POP3 Considerations for Legacy Server Migrations
I commonly rely on my customer to at least provide me with a heads up when there are applications or users or devices that are integrated into Exchange. Bu integrated I mean relaying email messages or using protocols like POP and IMAP. This has led to successful migrations from legacy Exchange versions to Exchange 2013….
Updated URL Script to version 1.2
After performing a few more upgrades and lab configurations I decided that my URL script needed a few fixes. Please go to my link provided below for the download. The URL script will run on Exchange 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016. There are three version specific menus. One menu for Exchange 2007, one for Exchange…
