Calender Permissions
Hi We are using Exchange 2010, and are trying to use the command shell to set calender permissions throughout the company. User A should have editor access to ALL calenders throughout the company. I thought the below script would achieve this but its not working. It seems to only let User A see Free/Busy information and not actually see the full appointment details. Can someone help? #Custom variables $mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database" $AccessRights = "Editor" #Loop through all mailboxes foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes) { #Retrieve name of the user`s calendar $calendar = (($mailbox.SamAccountName)+ ":\" + (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $mailbox.SamAccountName -FolderScope Calendar | Select-Object -First 1).Name) #Check if calendar-permission for user "UserA" is set to the default permission of "Editor" if (((Get-MailboxFolderPermission $calendar | Where-Object {$_.User -like "UserA"}).AccessRights) -like "Editor" ) { Write-Host "Updating calendar permission for $mailbox..." -ForegroundColor Yellow #Set calendar-permission for user "UserA" to value defined in variable $AccessRights Set-MailboxFolderPermission -User "UserA" -AccessRights $AccessRights -Identity $calendar } } Any help on this is appreciated!

It looks like your if then is not correct. It is saying If UserA has Editor, then add the rights, you need to change it to If NOT, like this: if (!(((Get-MailboxFolderPermission $calendar | Where-Object {$_.User -like "UserA"}).AccessRights) -like "Editor" )) { or: if (((Get-MailboxFolderPermission $calendar | Where-Object {$_.User -like "UserA"}).AccessRights) -ne "Editor" ) {

Russ Thanks for the reply. This seems to be working a little better, but will only update existing permissions. On mailboxes where UserA doesn't have any permissions pre defined it fails with: Updating calendar permission for UserB... There is no existing permission entry found for user: UserA. + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Set-MailboxFolderPermission], UserNotFoundInPermissionEntryExce ption + FullyQualifiedErrorId : C2046FC4,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.StoreTasks.SetMailboxFolderPermission How can i stop that?

Hmm its ok I just ran the script twice and on the second time changed: set-MailboxFolderPermission -User "UserA" -AccessRights $AccessRights -Identity $calendar to: Add-MailboxFolderPermission -User "UserA" -AccessRights $AccessRights -Identity $calendar Thanks for all your help!
