GrantSendOnBehalfTo Permissions for Mailbox overwrites Existing permission.

  • 아티클

Following Blogpost explains how to use Exchange management shell to add / remove values from multivalued property on an object. Multivalued property can Contain more than one value. for Example “GrantSendOnBehalfTo’ property on mailbox.

* How to configure Send on Behalf.

A. Using outlook Delegate tab.

B. Using Exchange management console

C. Using Exchange Management Console. -- This method is discussed below .

Modifying a Multivalued property is different . when you modify a property with new value, The stored value is overwritten.

 

Example : Assume that the mailbox ‘HelpDesk’ has two users listed in ‘GrantSendOnBehalf’ property on mailbox.

GrantSendOnBehalfto : John@contoso.com, Chris@contoso.com

A new user joined the company and needs send on Behalf access to ‘HelpDesk’ mailbox.

administrator run a following command

set-mailbox Helpdesk -GrantSendOnbehalfto <‘Kim@contoso.com’>

when you run get-mailbox ‘helpdesk ' | ft Name,grantsendonbehalfto , you will see following

GrantSendonBehalfto : Kim@contoso.com

This isn’t what we expected, we wanted to add another user to the existing permissions but instead existing list was overwritten.

when you modify a multivalued property, you must ensure that you append / remove the values accordingly , Without Overwriting the

Existing list.

 

The general syntax :

Add one or more values to a multivalued property : @{Add="<value1>", "<value2>", "<value3>"}

Remove one or more values from a multivalued property : @{Remove="<value1>", "<value2>", "<value3>"}

Here are some examples :

Ex1.

set-mailbox ‘HelpDesk’ –Grantsendonbehalfto @{add=”john@contoso.com”,  <“chris@contoso.com>”, <“kim@contoso.com>”

 image

 Ex2:

Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -GrantSendOnBehalfTo "user1", "User2", "User3", "User4"

 Ex3:

get-mailbox Helpdesk | set-mailbox –grantsendonbehalfto ‘john@contoso.com’

$a = get-mailbox ‘Helpdesk’ | select-object grantsendonbehalfto
$b = get-mailbox ‘Kim’ | select-object grantsendonbehalfto

$a.grantsendonbehalfto += $b.grantsendonbehalfto[0]

get-mailbox HelpDesk |set-mailbox -grantsendonbehalfto $($a.grantsendonbehalfto)

 

Ex4: ( Bulk Addition on permissions)

Here is a simple requirement . you have a requirement to assign GrantsendonBehalfto permissions on all mailboxes with out overwriting existing Permissions.

1 - First Export all the existing permissions

get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | select-object displayname,GrantSendOnBehalfto >> c:\sendonBehalfpermissions.csv

Here is an example : Eah user has Grantsendonbehalfto permissions assigned ,

get-Mailbox | Select-Object displaynane,grantsendonbehalfto | ft -a

DisplayNane GrantSendOnBehalfTo

Test 01 {Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 04}

Test 02 {Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 04.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

Test 03 {Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 04.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

Test 04 {Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 05.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

Test 05 {Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 06.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

Test 06 {Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 04.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

 

2 - Assume there is a requirement to assign User account "Test.10" with GrantsendOnBehalfto permissions on all the mailboxes with out overwriting existing permissions

  I call all the mailboxes at once and run following followingcmdlet to append the permissions.  

 Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | set-mailbox -GrantSendOnBehalfto @{Add="Test.10"}

once cmdlet is completed run following cmdlet to see if new user is appended to existing permissions,

get-Mailbox | Select-Object displaynane,grantsendonbehalfto | ft -a

DisplayNane GrantSendOnBehalfTo

Test 01 {Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 10, Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 04}

Test 02 {Contoso.COM/RESEARCH/Test 10, Contoso.Co/RESEARCH/Test 04, Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01} ----> user account has been added / appended to existing permissions.

Test 03 {Contoso.COM/RESEARCH/Test 10, Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 04.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}        

Test 04 {Contoso.COM/RESEARCH/Test 10, Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 05.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

Test 05 {Contoso.COM/RESEARCH/Test 10,Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 06.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

Test 06 {Contoso.COM/RESEARCH/Test 10, Contoso.Com/RESEARCH/Test 04.Contoso.Com/Users/Test 01}

    Wow life savior

    I read in 3 places, that it wasn't possible to remove users using grantsendonbehalf.

    That worked like a charm.

    TY

    Why does your get-mailbox [user] -GrantSendOnBehalfTo return the UPN and ours returns the Display Name? (The latter is quite a nuisance since it is not necessarily unique.)

    what would be the exch2007 equivalent of:
    set-mailbox -identity "MBOX" -grantsendonbehalfto @{add="alexanders","aprilt"}
    ??
