No longer able to see users Inbox rules through EAC Online?
- Seems Microsoft is releasing a new version of this functionality, and not all supported options are ported just yet. As a workaround, you can try accessing the older UI via direct link, i.e. https://outlook.office.com/ecp/email address removed for privacy reasons
It's still possible to access Inbox rules therein.
What could be the reason that the link leads me to the general EAC?
I edited the link with the username at the end.
Talamasca The link the other individual gave you is a link to Exchange Classic admin center, which is being phased out. I guess some people still have access to it.
For now, our only two options are:
1- Create a powershell script to manage mailbox rules of other users (using ExchangeOnlineManagement module)
2- use the delegate method if your company allows it: assign yourself as a delegate to the mailbox, open the mailbox in OWA using https://outlook.office.com/mail/email address removed for privacy reasons/options/mail/rules
Unfortunately, our org was affected by this un-announced change by Microsoft as well. In our org, it is common for us to manage rules of other users on a routine basis, so this change definitely slowed the process down.
- Seems the old ecp is now not working at all 😞 I love PowerShell but I understand the difficulties for some admins to quickly view and update rules and setup auto replies where granting your access to content is not permitted. I would suggest the open mailbox option via the exchange admin centre is expanded to support this. I'd suggest everyone log tickets and make as much noise as possible if you would like another option.
- Hello,
Can you share a link to PowerShell script with the action that the rule actually does?
I found and edited many scripts, non of them contains that info, only rule name and general info.Talamasca trevorharrisABMG here posting from another account... Due to this issue I developed a PowerShell script for managing mailbox rules (sorry I cannot share it at this time due to company PII, but maybe soon I will post a cleaned-up version on my github). To see exactly what each rule is doing you can use cmdlet like below. Here is a small snippet from my script:
$mailboxname = get-exomailbox "username(at)yourcompany(dot)com" Write-host "Loading all mailbox rules for " -nonewline Write-host "$mailboxname" -foregroundcolor Green Write-host "`nPlease wait..." -ForegroundColor yellow $Rules = Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $MailboxName $Rules | Format-List Priority,Name,Description,Enabled
Yeah it's fully disappeared for me now too, after months of working. This is not good enough. Logging a ticket now! Joshua Bines
- Hi,
I think, this solution is not the good way, we need that Microsoft go back, we need to administrate user simply !!!
Thanks for Microsoft to solve THIS BUG ISSUE for all IT guys in the world.
Regards,- This sounds like a bizarre correction to a security risk giving hackers access to transfer rules !!!
