Public folder names are not allowd to contain the following:
The script Fix-PublicFolderNames.ps1 fixes the public folder names in preparation for migration to modern public folders.
# EXAMPLE # Rename and trim public folders found on Server MYPFSERVER .\Fix-PublicFolderNames -PublicFolderServer MYPFSERVER
Just a quick PowerShell one-liner on how to find all configured room lists in your Exchange organization:
Set-ADServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $true Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited | Where {$_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq "RoomList"} | Format-Table DisplayName,Identity,PrimarySmtpAddress –AutoSize
Enjoy Exchange.
The following PowerShell snippet helps to create room lists for the Room Finder functionality in Outlook or Outllok on the Web.
This snippet creates a new room list named All Video Conference Rooms. The display name is shown in the Room Finder combo box. The room list members are a mixture of physical rooms (where you actually go to) and virtual rooms which you just dial into.
# General Properties $DisplayName = 'All Video Conference Rooms' $Name = 'DEP_IT_AllVideoConfRooms' $Alias = 'IT_AllVideoConfRooms' $Notes = 'Room List for Outlook Roomfinder | All Video Conference Rooms' $OU = 'MCSMLABS.de/Exchange/Groups/RoomLists' $EmailAddress = 'ITAllVideoConfRooms@mcsmemail.de' # Romm List Members $Members = @('Conference Room 1','Conference Rooms 2','Virtual Dial-In Room 4711') # Create Distribution Group as Room List New-DistributionGroup -DisplayName $DisplayName -Name $Name -Alias $Alias -Notes $Notes -Type Distribution -OrganizationalUnit $OU -PrimarySmtpAddress $EmailAddress -Members $Members -RoomList
Use this snippet to start developing your own Exchange PowerShall code for creating and managing rooms and room lists.
