I am 365 admin and see quite often people rapport "all my mails are in deleted post - and I have done nothing" or similar What is the best practice to investigate that. I know in powershell I have made some auditsearches, where it rapports like softdelete, hardelete etc - but is there any more specific way proving that the user actually did in on his own ? - I know with retention policies it is hard delete - but just wondering what the best practice is like to prove to the user that this is the user. Just write that it is soft deleted and means user have done it, often the user think is not understandable65Views0likes1CommentDynamic Distribution Group with no Disabled Accounts
Hi I'm trying to build a few Dynamic Distribution Lists in Exchange Online and want to only include Active Users (i.e., users that are marked "Active" in Azure AD). I've tried using the UserAccountControl attribute (-eq 514 or -ne 514 - both are returning the same results, which is strange), but it still includes user accounts that are disabled. This is how my recipient filter looks like: RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox' -and UserAccountControl -ne 514 What's the best way to achieve this in Exchange Online?

I’m looking for guidance on migrating Exchange 2010 (on-premises) to Microsoft 365 / Office 365. Is a direct migration from Exchange 2010 supported, or is an intermediate hop (such as upgrading Exchange or setting up a hybrid configuration) required? Additionally, could you please recommend any reliable tools that can help with this migration? I also have a few PST files that need to be migrated as part of the process. I’d appreciate insights on best practices, common challenges, and lessons learned from real-world migrations. Thanks in advance for your help.150Views0likes3CommentsFeedback to users who report phishing
Hi, is it possible to create a power automate flow to find submissions from users and as soon as MS has added a verdict to a submission as real phish send a notification back to the user who has reported it? Trying to figure out what is needed for such integration and build a flow but I am stuck. Anyone who has built that and like to share learning?867Views0likes1CommentLinking cloud only shared mailbox with onpremise object

Hello Team, I am working on an Exchange Online mailbox where the archive mailbox has accumulated a large amount of data (over 335 GB) under the Recoverable Items → DiscoveryHolds folder. The mailbox is not on Litigation Hold or Retention Hold, and the InPlaceHolds property shows exclusions (-mbx...), so there are no active holds preventing deletion. Environment Details Service: Exchange Online Mailbox: email address removed for privacy reasons Archive mailbox size: ~335 GB DiscoveryHolds subfolders contain the bulk of the data. Background : Initially, the user’s primary mailbox was full because more than 100 GB of data resided in the Recoverable Items folder of the primary mailbox. Since I was unable to delete the data, so as a workaround, I enabled the archive mailbox and moved the data there. I have raised multiple tickets with Microsoft, but after more than 45 days, I still do not have a proper resolution. Mailbox Hold Status PS H:\> Get-Mailbox -Identity email address removed for privacy reasons -Archive | fl *hold* LitigationHoldEnabled : False RetentionHoldEnabled : False EndDateForRetentionHold : StartDateForRetentionHold : LitigationHoldDate : LitigationHoldOwner : ComplianceTagHoldApplied : True DelayHoldApplied : False DelayReleaseHoldApplied : False LitigationHoldDuration : Unlimited SCLDeleteThreshold : SCLRejectThreshold : SCLQuarantineThreshold : SCLJunkThreshold : InPlaceHolds : {-mbx23233XXXXXX, -mbx212433XXXXXX} RecipientThrottlingThreshold : Standard PS H:\> Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity email address removed for privacy reasons -Archive -FolderScope RecoverableItems | ft Name,ItemsInFolder,FolderAndSubfolderSize Recoverable Items : 0 335.2 GB DiscoveryHolds : 80495 335.2 GB DiscoveryHolds_2022 : 177 20.7 MB DiscoveryHolds_2023 : 350 88.12 MB DiscoveryHolds_2024 : 4117 1.34 GB DiscoveryHolds_2025 (multiple subfolders): 47 GB – 55 GB each Issue : I need to purge only the DiscoveryHolds data from the archive mailbox without affecting other folders. I tried using Search-Mailbox , but received: The term 'Search-Mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet... I understand that Search-Mailbox is deprecated in Exchange Online. Also, the Content search is not very helpful.Solved464Views0likes3CommentsDoes Exchange Online have an internal search Index for people ?
Hello everyone, I'm managing users with Office 365 E3 licences. We have an hybrid Exchange Online / Exchange On-Premise architecture. My problem is the following: After I create an user with E3 licence, and after AAD Synchronisation between Azure / AD, the user is created on Azure but also the email mailbox (Exchange Online). But within the "To" input, through the Autocomplete suggestions, this user cannot be found, neither with Outlook Desktop Client nor with OWA Outlook (Web version of Otlook), even several hours later of the creation. I can use the mailbox (can login to OWA Outlook), can send / receive. So the mailbox is created correctly. I can connect to Exchange-Online via PowerShell and get all informations for the target mailbox (like others) with: Get-Recipient -Identity "email address removed for privacy reasons" And also via Get-Recipient -Anr "elon" (this gives me "Elon, Musk" as a suggestion through PowerShell). But why the autocomplete cannot suggest me this user ? Through the GAL (Global Address List) the user is visible (when I click on "To" button within Outlook Desktop Client -> Popup showing the Global Address List). But it's not suggested automatically, like others (old users). I made several hours of searches but I do not found any concluant result. My only question is: does Exchange Online infrastructure have an internal Search Index for People ? And if so, how often it's updated to include newly added users to the tenant? On what is based the autosuggestions within the inputs "To" / "CC" / "CCI". In my case (at least), the search for autosuggestions cannot be based on Global Address List / Offline Address Book from our On-Premise Exchange server, because EVEN the Web based OWA Outlook cannot find the newly created user! Thank you in advance for your precious help! Best Regards, Adam J.60Views0likes0Commentso365 public folder migration
Hi All, I have began a migration from on-prem exchange 2010 to o365 using minimal hybrid method I need to consider how i'm going to migrate public folders. I refer to two MS docs links below The first article suggests this method should be used when using a cutover or staged method https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/collaboration-exo/public-folders/batch-migration-of-legacy-public-folders The second article references a hybrid setup but fails to mention if this includes the minimal hybrid option https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/collaboration-exo/public-folders/set-up-legacy-hybrid-public-folders Can anyone clarify?
