I had a request recently to provide an inactive user report for the past 60 days. Basically, find out which accounts have not logged in for the past 60 days so action can be taken against them.

Working with many Office365 clients, I receive queries on how to go about provisioning users and mailboxes for an Exchange hybrid deployment. To begin with, let’s assume a couple things.

Let me start by saying that I don’t recommend doing this at all. Password Never Expires is bad security practice, but there are situations that might require it. I had a similar request on how this could be done. Setting it for multiple users:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
#Connect of Office365 Import-Module MSOnline $O365Cred = Get-Credential $O365Session = New-PSSession –ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $O365Session Connect-MsolService –Credential $O365Cred #Get a List of user that belong to the second domain $SDusers = Get-MsolUser -All -DomainName "yourseconddomain.com" #Setting the password never to expire ForEach($SDuser in $SDusers) { Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $SDuser -PasswordNeverExpires $true } |
Setting it for a single user:
|
1 |
Get-MSOLUser -UserPrincipalName user@domain.com | Select PasswordNeverExpires |
Based on my audit for a client I found that a user mailbox was at sometime converted to a resource mailbox. There is no convert button/ link to switch it back. I still don’t know how, or why this would have happened. Anyways, for someone who may come across this weird issue, here is the […]

The changes that need to be made are: Configure the user attribute targetaddress to contain the remote routing address for the mailbox. This should be in the format user@vanitydomain.mail.onmicrosoft.com. Set the msExchRemoteRecipientType attribute for the user account to equal 4. Set the msExchRecipientDisplayType attribute for the user account to equal-2147483642. (yes, this is a negative value) Set the msExchRecipientTypeDetails attribute for the user account […]
