Thank you for the tutorial. I do have two questions.

First of all I'm running an international business, hence my users do not have a "Calendar" folder, but an "Agenda" (Dutch) or "Kalendar" (German) or ... How to deal with that (without me tracking which language every user is using)?

Secondly, can I change the standard permission level of Default to "LimitedDetails" such that new mailbox automatically get there Calendar details shared with subject and location?

Thank in advance for your feedback.

This may be coming in too late but, the answer to your question is to use :\Agenda or :\Kalendar inplace of :\Calendar and the rest of the Add-MailboxFolderPermission/Get-MailboxFolderPermission/Remove-MailboxFolderPermission is pretty much thesame.

Is there a way to capture all folders, not specify Inbox or Calendar?

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics <mailbox> | %{Get-MailboxFolderPermission ("<mailbox>:{0}" -f $_.FolderId

)}

Also solves the 'problem' of different folder names due to chosen language.

Function Set-Reviewer-On-Mailbox($mailboxsmtp, $reviewersmtp, $remove = $false){

# Need Exchange tools.

if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )

{

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

}

Write-host "Getting folders for $mailboxsmtp"

$stats = Get-MailboxFolderStatistics $mailboxsmtp

Write-Host Got $stats.count folders

foreach ($folder in $stats){

$ident = $mailboxsmtp + ":" + $folder.FolderID

if (-not $remove){

Write-host Adding Reviewer Permission for $reviewersmtp on folder path $folder.folderPath

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $ident -AccessRights Reviewer -User $reviewersmtp  | Out-Null

}

else {

Write-host Removing Reviewer Permission for $reviewersmtp on folder path $folder.folderPath

Remove-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $ident -User $reviewersmtp -Confirm:$false | Out-Null

}

$counter++

}

}

Ruud put me on the right track.  Use SMTP addresses for the first 2 params.  The mailbox you want to give access out to, then the reviewer's smtp address.  Sending in the $true param at the end will Remove any rights.  (This is also useful to revoke or if there are already some other rights that were delegated before you ever got there.)

# give sam reviewer rights to joe's mailbox

Set-Reviewer-On-Mailbox joe@company.com sam@company.com

# revoke sam's reviewer rights to joe's mailbox

Set-Reviewer-On-Mailbox joe@company.com sam@company.com $true

How do I remove Exchange mailbox folder permissions for ALL folders (recursively) without specifying anything? We are using Exchaneg 2010 SP1.

I tried using following with no luck:

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics <smtp> | %{Get-MailboxFolderPermission ("smtp:{0}" -f $_.FolderId)}| Remove-MailboxFolderPermission -User <smtp>

I wonder why this was so much easier in previous versions of Exchange... all this required shell stuff and no GUI makes lazy admins sad.

For those who are in an international environment, you can use

get-mailbox $mailboxName | Get-MailboxFolderStatistics | where-object {$_.FolderType -eq 'Calendar'} | Set-MailboxFolderPermission -user default -AccessRights reviewer

How do you create custom -AccessRights, meaning specific ACL? I need to only allow users to read full details but no other permissions.

I wish to give only read the email and edit subject line. Which permission will be applicable.
