Description

This script reads Exchange Organization data and creates a single Microsoft Word document. A later version will support exporting to an Html file.

The script requires an Exchange Management Shell for Exchange Server 2016 or newer. Older EMS versions are not tested.

A locally installed version of Word is required, as plain Html export is not available, yet.

The default file name is 'Exchange-Org-Report [TIMESTAMP].docx'. 

Most of the script requires only Exchange admin read-only access for the Exchange organization. Querying address list information requires a membership in the RBAC role "Address Lists".

The script queries hardware information from the Exchange server systems and requires local administrator access to the computer systems.

Examples

# Example 1
# Create a Word report for the local Exchange Organization using 
# the default values defined on the parameters section of the PowerShell script.

.\Get-ExchangeOrganizationReport.ps1 -ViewEntireForest:$true

# Example 2
# Create a Microsoft Word report for the local Exchange Organization with 
# a verbose output to the current PowerShell session.

.\Get-ExchangeOrganizationReport.ps1 -Verbose

Description

When using this PowerShell script you can update the guest user's thumbnail photo to a photo that aligns with your company's corporate identity and compliance guidelines, and you do not have to rely on the Azure AD default photo.

• This script sets the AzureADThumbnailPhoto for guest users to a photo provided as JPG or PNG file.
• The photo file can be up to 100KB in size. This is currently not checked in the script.
• You can either update a single guest user or all guest users.
• When updating the user photo can choose to set the photo forcibly or only if there is no photo set.
• The changes are written to a log file. The log file functions are part of the GlobalFunctions module.

Examples

# EXAMPLE
# Set the photo ExternalUser.png for all guest users if no photo exists

.\Set-GuestUserPhoto.ps1 -FilePath D:\Photos\ExternalUser.png -GuestUsersToSelect All -UpdateMode SetIfNoPhotoExists

# EXAMPLE
# Set the photo ExternalUser.png for guest user JohnDoe@varunagroup.de if no photo exists

.\Set-GuestUserPhoto.ps1 -FilePath D:\Photos\ExternalUser.png -GuestUsersToSelect Single -UserPrincipalName JohnDoe@varunagroup.de
