Hi @JimBlunt,
Let´s try to solve your problem completely or at least help you to get closer to the soultion.
let's rewrite the script from your original question to handle folder names with special characters properly. We'll use the -EscapeCharacters parameter when constructing folder identities. Here's the modified script:
# Define the mailbox alias
$mailboxAlias = "<Alias>"
# Function to recursively process mailbox folder permissions
function Process-FolderPermissions($folderPath) {
$escapedFolderPath = $folderPath.Replace("/", "\")
$folderIdentity = "$mailboxAlias:`"$escapedFolderPath`""
# Get folder permissions
$folderPermissions = Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $folderIdentity
# Process folder permissions as needed (e.g., set, remove, or display)
# Example: Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $folderIdentity -User email address removed for privacy reasons -AccessRights FullAccess
# Display folder permissions
Write-Host "Folder: $folderPath"
$folderPermissions | Format-Table -AutoSize
# Recursively process subfolders
$subfolders = Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $mailboxAlias | Where-Object { $_.FolderPath -like "$folderPath/*" }
foreach ($subfolder in $subfolders) {
Process-FolderPermissions "$folderPath/$($subfolder.FolderName)"
}
}
# Start processing folder permissions from the root folder
Process-FolderPermissions ""
In this corrected script:
- We still define the $mailboxAlias variable to specify the mailbox alias.
- The Process-FolderPermissions function now properly escapes the folder names using the .Replace() method to replace forward slashes ("/") with backslashes ("").
- We construct the folder identity using the -EscapeCharacters parameter, which allows us to include folder names with special characters without encountering issues.
Replace <Alias> with the actual mailbox alias, and customize the permission processing logic as needed for your specific use case.
