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.
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/<useremailaddressgoeshere>/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.
Yeah it's fully disappeared for me now too, after months of working. This is not good enough. Logging a ticket now! Joshua Bines
- 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- Much appreciated 🙏
