Changing Mailbox Features in ARS using PowerShell.

Jacob R
over 6 years ago

Hello,

I am fairly new to ARS and the way that it interfaces with Exchange... Hopefully there will be an easy answer to this but I have yet to find it. When I am looking at a user using the QAD PowerShell commandlets, I am looking for the attributes associated with mailbox features so that I can hopefully turn them off or on using a script. So far, I have not been able to locate these attributes so that I can modify them. I have also tried to standard MS Exchange commandlets which allow me to read the mailbox features from a DC using Get-CASMailbox, however when I try to user Set-CASMailbox, none of the switches are available for me to change the features.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Jacob.

    These attributes are virtual attributes in ARS and start with the 'edsva' prefix. Make sure you issue the command "Connect-QADService -Proxy" if running the PowerShell command locally on the AR server so that you can get access to these attributes.

    Awesome, one step closer...

    So how do I then modify these virtual attributes within ARS using PowerShell? I am not able to with the Set-QADUser command, at least the way that I am trying to run it. I also cannot return these virtual attributes with the Get-QADUser command either.

    If you are running these commands directly on the Active Roles Server itself, be sure to first issue a "Connect-QADService -Proxy" command to connect to the Administration Service. Otherwise the MgmtShell connects to AD and you won't be able to see or modify these attrbiutes.

    Alright, that worked as far as returning the virtual attributes with Get-QADUser using the -Proxy switch. Now I am struggling to modify the virtual attribute using Set-QADUser with the -Proxy switch. How would I change one of these from true to false or vice versa since it is not a switch included with the commandlet?

    That's just a syntax thing for the Quest cmdlets:

    set-qaduser -proxy -identity "jsmith" -objectattributes @{'edsva-msexch-protocolsettings-owa-enable'=$True}

    Thank you to both Richard.Lambert and JohnnyQuest for the assistance! This is exactly what I was looking for.
