You may remember our older post how to set address book policy based on group membership. After using this method above for a while we've found there is a far easier solution to get group membership with a recursive option on newer systems. We've also updated setting address book policy method with few more checks so it's a bit more error proof.
So instead of code from above link you can simply use this one
$global:logPlace = "C:\ExchangeScripts\Automated\ExchangeService.log"
function Global-LogInfo ([string] $logFile, [string] $msg, [string] $color = "Blue", [string] $backgroundColor = "White", [boolean] $showOnly = $false) {
$timeFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" # https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx
if ($showOnly -eq $true) {
Write-Host "[$([datetime]::Now.ToString($timeFormat))]$msg" -ForegroundColor $color # -BackgroundColor $backgroundColor
} else {
Write-Host "[$([datetime]::Now.ToString($timeFormat))]$msg" -ForegroundColor $color # -BackgroundColor $backgroundColor
if ($logFile -eq $null) {
} else {
Write-Output "[$([datetime]::Now.ToString($timeFormat))]$msg" | Out-File $logFile -Encoding utf8 -Append
}
}
}
function Get-GroupMembershipRecursive ($group) {
$AllMembers = Get-ADGroupMember $group -Recursive | Get-ADUser -Properties DisplayName, Mail,msExchHomeServerName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select Name,msExchHomeServerName,ObjectClass,Mail, DisplayName
Write-Output $AllMembers
}
function SetAddressBookPolicy ([string] $AddressBookPolicy, [string] $SetOnGroup, [Boolean] $debug = $false) {
$members = Get-GroupMembershipRecursive $SetOnGroup
foreach ($member in $members) {
#Global-LogInfo -logFile $global:logPlace -msg "[+] Information: $($member.Name) with email $($member.Mail) [+]"
if ($($member.Mail) -ne $null -and $($member.msExchHomeServerName) -ne $null) {
$mailbox = Get-Mailbox $member.Mail | Select AddressBookPolicy
if ($($mailbox.AddressBookPolicy)-eq $AddressBookPolicy) {
if ($debug -eq $true) {
Global-LogInfo -logFile $global:logPlace -msg "[+] Already set $AddressBookPolicy on $($member.Name) address. Skipping. [+]"
}
} else {
Global-LogInfo -logFile $global:logPlace -msg "[+] Setting $AddressBookPolicy on $($member.Mail) address. Replaced address book policy: $($mailbox.AddressBookPolicy) [+]"
Set-Mailbox $member.Mail -AddressBookPolicy $AddressBookPolicy
}
} else {
if ($debug -eq $true) {
Global-LogInfo -logFile $global:logPlace -msg "[+] Skipping $AddressBookPolicy on $($member.Name) address. [+]"
}
}
}
}Remember to use following commands to make sure the Global Address List, Address Lists and Offline Address Book are all up to date.
Get-GlobalAddressList | Update-GlobalAddressList Get-AddressList | Update-AddressList Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook
