Primer: How to Use RBAC for Applications to Control App Use of the Mail.Send Permission
The temptation to use the Mail.Send application permission in scripts can lead PowerShell developers into trouble because the permission allows access to all mailboxes, including sensitive executive and financial mailboxes. Fortunately, RBAC for Applications allows tenants to control the access that apps have to mailboxes and other Exchange content. All explained here with an example script to test RBAC of Applications. https://office365itpros.com/2026/02/17/mail-send-rbac-for-applications/

IS EXCHANGE 2016 HYBRID STILL SUPPORTED?
IS EXCHANGE 2016 HYBRID STILL SUPPORTED as of January 2026? Pls advise if this statement is correct: Exchange Server 2016 was supported for hybrid deployments with Exchange Online, but as of October 14, 2025, it is no longer supported by Microsoft, meaning no security updates, bug fixes, or technical support are provided. While hybrid prerequisites still technically list Exchange 2016, running it now carries security and compliance risks, and Microsoft recommends upgrading to a supported version such as Exchange Server Subscription Edition or moving fully to Exchange Online. Continuing to use Exchange 2016 in hybrid is possible, but unsupported, so for a secure and compliant hybrid setup, an upgrade or migration is strongly advised.Practical Graph: Find Large Mailbox Items with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK
Server-side filtering is always best when PowerShell retrieves items from the server. In this article, we explore how to construct a server-side filter to find large mailbox items over a certain threshold. The answer lies in filtering against an old Outlook property. The Graph represents the property through the single value extended property resource. But how do you filter against such a thing? https://practical365.com/find-large-mailbox-items/Moving Exchange Account Source Account
I have a very complex environment I'm hoping someone might jump start my search. We have two domains syncing to Entra ID. One domain is a resource forest where our Exchange environment sits. That domain contains disabled stub accounts synced to our primary domain where the actual user accounts sit. The source for all EXO mailboxes are the stubs in the resource forest. Those accounts are kept in sync using FIM 2008. We're wanting to decom that entire resource environment and move all of the attributes to the primary domain. The resource domain schema is the last version of Ex 2016. The primary domain schema is Ex 2010 SP1. I know my first step is to update the primary schema, however, has anyone encountered a situation like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
