Self-service PowerShell throttling change
You can now relax the PowerShell throttling in your tenant, following these steps. Just like the EWS throttling change, you can do the same task for PowerShell. To request a relaxation of the PowerShell throttling, follow these steps. When logged into the O365 admin portal, simply select the ‘Need help?’ icon at the bottom right
O365_Logon module
I created this PowerShell module awhile ago to help O365 Administrators sign into the their online tenant services using simple verb-noun single command lets (cmdlets). While the general O365 PowerShell (PS) sign-in process is straight forward by itself, there are several lines of PS code that need to be combined and executed each and every
PowerShell easy location
What an easy way to clean up the view of your PowerShell path. Add this into your profile if you want to save some screen space and work in a directory other than c:\. You can also grab the current time and place that in the prompt. Use Get-Location to see which path you are
Get-DAGDatabaseInformation
The function: Get-DAGDatabaseInformation works in Exchange versions that a DAG (Database Availability Group) exists. From 2010 through 2019, this simple little function presents information to the end user about the status of the databases. In the Exchange Admin Center (EAC), the GUI that is, one must click on each server and each DB to see
Exchange_AddIn updated
Well, the one constant in IT is change. The MO_Module was too confusing for people to know what it was for, so I went back and updated the Exchange_AddIn PowerShell Module. All of the updated functions over the past several months are being cut over, I've updated all of the helpURI values, and added in
Get-GroupMemberCount
Need to know a member count of ALL distribution groups and e-mail enabled security groups in your organization that exports to a CSV file? Then this function is for you. Get-GroupMemberCount This function simply creates a .CSV file of all the e-mail enabled groups and current member count. May not be the most elaborate task,
Start-DAGMaintenanceMode and Stop-DAGMaintenanceMode
These two are really good functions. While I just used others’ code, I do give them credit, but to be able to ‘function these up’ is very handy. Not that I’m lazy…OK, I’m efficient, but having verb-noun at your fingertips, whenever you need to run something, is very convenient. Furthermore, I can’t tell you how
Using the same exact time with Get-Date
Many times, when using Get-Date in PowerShell, it is very easy to have start and end times for reporting processes. However, the issue is, the Get-Date cmdlet runs and obtains the time when it is run. If you want to run a specific time, say at exactly midnight every day, there is a way to
Restart-AutoDAppPool
Many times in an Exchange server, the IIS (Internet Information Services) is not the issue, but only the sub-set Autodiscover Application Pool. Therefore, once again, instead of just a one-off cmdlet against a single server, we have this function, to blast out to all Exchange servers, to restart their Autodiscover (sometimes referred to as AutoD),
Get-Date in UTC
Need to show time in UTC (Universal Time)? There is a 'method' with the Get-Date cmdlet. If you run: Get-Date | Get-Member You'll find that one of the methods is ToUniversalTime() which allows you to output the time of the local machine, converted to the UTC time. Run the code below to show how the
