On May 11th, the SharePoint Saturday Cologne took place at the new Microsoft Office in Cologne.
My session covered the migration of legacy public folders from Exchange Server 2010 to modern public folders hosted on-premises or Exchange Online. Additionally, I've talked about the pros and cons of a migration to Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams.
The slide deck is available on SlideShare.
Enjoy Exchange Server and do not forget about the end of support for Exchange Server 2010 on January 14th, 2010.
This script connects either to Exchange Online or to a dedicated on-premises Exchange Server to export configured mailbox delegates and SMTP forwarding configurations.
The SMTP forwarding configurations are gathered from inbox rules and from mailbox forwarding settings.
# Example 1 # Connect to the on-premises Exchange Server mx01.varunagroup.de and export delegation and SMTP forwarding information .\Get-DelegatesAndForwardingRules.ps1 -ExchangeHost mx01.varunagroup.de # Example 2 # Connect to the on-premises Exchange Server mx01.varunagroup.de, export delegation and SMTP forwarding information and get verbose information on the objects worked on .\Get-DelegatesAndForwardingRules.ps1 -ExchangeHost mx01.varunagroup.de -Verbose # Example 3 # Connect to Exchange Online and export delegation and SMTP forwarding information .\Get-DelegatesAndForwardingRules.ps1 -ExchangeOnline

The script is based on the O365-InvestigationTooling script DumpDelegatesandForwardingRules.ps1 by Brandon Koeller Find more Office 365 investigation tooling scripts at https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-InvestigationTooling.
The Exchange PowerShell script (Set-ReceiveConnectorIpAddress) to add or remove remote IP address ranges to/from Exchange Server 2013+ receive connectors received an update.
The script now checks if the required PowerShell modules are available before failing to load the modules.

On Saturday, May 11th, the SharePoint Saturday Cologne will take place at Microsoft Office.
My session covers the migration of legacy public folders to modern public folders in the cloud.
Migrating from legacy public folders to modern public folders in Exchange Online is an error-prone process. Especially for Exchange organizations using legacy public folders since the early days. Real world examples from the field will show you how to determine the right migration approach. Additional information will help you to avoid the most common errors when migrating to modern public folders to the cloud. But what about after migrating to the? There is more. Prepare for decommissioning Public Folders by moving content to Microsoft Teams.
See you in Cologne.
Exchange Server 2019 is the most recent release of the successful email messaging solution, introduced by Microsoft in 1996. Since the early days of the product supported a single primary email address only. The primary email address is used as the sender address when a user composes a new email message and sends the message. A mailbox can have multiple email addresses to receive messages for, but only one so-called reply-address.
But the limitation is not valid anymore.
A recent build of the Exchange Server 2019 Cumulative Update 1 released to VLSC contains a new feature called Multi-Reply Addresses.
This new feature is very helpful in scenarios where a single user sends email messages for multiple companies. Think of a business owner who is responsible for two or more companies. In the past, it was required to configure a mailbox account per primary email address used as a reply address. Such a configuration resulted not only on multiple inboxes but in multiple calendars and contact folders as well.
The new Multi-Reply Addresses feature of Exchange Server 2019 provides a much better solution. Moreover, it is a CEO-safe solution.
After enabling the multi-reply feature in your Exchange Organization the new functionality is available in Exchange Admin Center and Exchange Management Shell.
When you edit the email address properties using the Edit User Mailbox dialogue of an existing mailbox you can add additional reply addresses.
The following screenshot illustrates the steps.
When you close the Edit User Mailbox dialogue the additonal reply addresses and the status are displayed in the recipient list view and the detail pane.
The following screenhot shows how the reply addresses are displayed in the list view and how the status is displyed in the detail pane.
You can verify the updated proxyAddresses Active Directory attibute using ADSIEdit or the Attribute Viewer of the ADUC MMC.
When you compose a new email message using Outlook on the Web, the From selector is displayed automatically. You can select one of the configured reply email addresses as the sender address.
You can configure separate email signatures for each available reply address.
A user can select Options - Mail - Email signature to open the Email signature form. The form provides a new option to set a different email siganture for each reply address.
This is a really exciting new feature.
You can enable the new multi-reply function using the following new Exchange Cmdlet:
# Enable Multi-Reply functionality in Exchange Server 2019 Enable-SmtpMultiReply # Disable Multi-Reply functionality in Exchange Server 2019 Disable-SmtpMultiReply -CleanupPrimarySmtp -Force
When disabling the Multi-Reply feature a all but one primary SMTP address is converted to a legacy proxy smtp address.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. It is required to be assigned to the Elevated Exchange Organization Management role.
I do not know if the new feature had been exposed accidentally, but the on-premises version of the Exchange Server 2019 benefits from this new feature. This is a true differentiator to the cloud-based service of Exchange Online.
Enjoy Exchange Server 2019!
