Re: Exchange 2016 - Problem adding users to Send As or Send on Behalf
Dan_Snape No, for some reason it comes back with nothing found. In the list I have 545 items, (I bumped up the default from 5000 items returned to 1,000), all but 3 or 4 are security groups. For the life of me I can't figure out why there are 3 or 4 users in that list and not any others.13KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Exchange 2016 - Problem adding users to Send As or Send on Behalf
VasilMichev Sorry, no offense to you but I really hate that response. MS codes a crappy interface, so now we are all expected to use the command line for what should be a VERY basic task. One of my (many) issues with Powershell is that at this company they do that Red Forest(?) architecture. For me to access the Exchange server I have to first RDP to a Jump Station. From there I RDP to the App Tier Jump Station, (using a different ID/PW with VERY complex PW requirements) and do the 2FA. From there I RDP to the Exchange Server. All of these operate on a 10 minute time out so basically I have to redo this entire thing every time I need to do the simplest operation. Or I can go to the EAC website in Chrome from my desktop, which bypasses all of that, and have Chrome auto remember my super complex PW for me. Since none of the jump stations or exchange servers can access the internet with a web browser, by the time I have typed up this response my RDP sessions will have timed out and I'll have to redo the whole RDP thing again. UGH. Why can't MS just do a semi decent job of programming the EAC??? Ted13KViews0likes1CommentExchange 2016 - Problem adding users to Send As or Send on Behalf
I just took over as an exchange admin at a company and am trying to perform a relatively simple task. All I need to do is to grant a user "Send As" and "Send on Behalf". Simple huh? The problem is when I go to that group and open the properties and select Group Delegation, and then click the plus to add a user to Send As I get 500 odd security groups, plus 2 or 3 end users. And that is it. And it's not that the end users are all alphabetically behind the groups so they aren't showing up, it's just that only a few users are in the list. I've looked at those user's accounts to try to figure out why those show up in the list but not others, and can't see any reason. They are just regular accounts. The owner of the group doesn't even show up in the list so I can't even add that person. I've tried copying and pasting the user's name and email address I want to add the Send As to, but that doesn't work either. Am I missing something very obvious here? Is there a setting somewhere that prohibits Send As by anything other than a Security group? If there is then I really can't figure out why those 2 or 3 users show up in the list then. Thanks in advance for any help. Ted14KViews0likes16CommentsRe: How to do license management
Robert Luck Robert, Thanks for the info, but unfortunately the odds of the company purchasing a 3rd party tool is extremely unlikely. There are a whole bunch of things I'd like to buy, but none of them are going to happen. If there is a script that will do the basics of this that you could share i'd appreciate it, (but unfortunately that's all I can offer). Ted1.8KViews0likes1CommentHow to do license management
We have several thousand users in our tenant and I am trying to find easy ways to manage the licenses. When I do an export of users from the admin portal it gives me all of the licenses in one column, which makes it a challenge to filter so I can just see anyone with an E3 license, or a F1, or whatever. I tried moving the license column to be the last line in the spreadsheet, then exporting it as csv, then importing it with different delimiters, but after a bunch of playing with that i've given up. I also tried various powershell commands with a variety of formatting, but I can never seem to get it right so that every type of license comes out separated so I can filter for each one individually. I assume I can't be the only admin who struggles with this. The CIO wants me to compare a list of users with various licenses vs an HR list of various job titles to make sure we aren't giving out licenses for people in jobs that don't need them, but I am struggling to get a good list to start with. Thanks in advance for any help. Ted P.S. I'm surprised there's not a separate sub forum just for O365 Licensing.1.9KViews0likes3Comments
