Whereas the output of the Get-Mailbox cmdlet defaults to a Table, the Get-ExOMailbox cmdlet defaults to a List of properties. Even a one-liner as simple as ‘Get-Mailbox -Archive’ will need some work because if we replace ‘Get-Mailbox’ with ‘Get-ExOMailbox’, the resultant set of data is different. In order to do this properly we cannot replace the name of the old cmdlet for the new cmdlet name as this would cause the new cmdlet to fail if there are parameters chose and/or properties selected that were not ‘translated’ for the new cmdlet.
NEW HURTWORLD V2 HOW TO
Now that we have an understanding on how to use them (part 2) and prepare a workstation to use them (part 1), next steps would be to modify any existing scripts that have the old cmdlets in them. I do not have any real world numbers to share at the moment. * Speed – These cmdlets do run much faster. With the older cmdlets, this would have failed. * Less Timeouts – on a dataset of 7000 mailboxes, the new ExO V2 cmdlets were able to query all mailboxes, looking at each folder and finding large number of items in folders (100k+) without timing out. My advice would be to review the source post for list above and get familiar with all of the properties and property sets.įrom the brief time that these cmdlets have been publicly available I have noticed the following: Thus, choosing between the two options (Properties or PropertySets) can be important for your scripts.
While this provides the same results, it is already becoming quite unwieldly. Get-mailbox | Where | ft Name,Alias,PrimarySMTPAddress,IsResource,IssueWarningQuota,ProhibitSendQuota,ProhibitSendReceiveQuota Scenario – need to check quotas on all resource mailboxes, while listing basic information about the mailbox itself. We need to decide what we want and pick the properties sets available to us. We won’t be able to simply list all of the properties of an object and filter them on output. These sets reveal properties that can then be revealed by the new ExO v2 cmdlets. Let’s review these items:Ī Property Set is a predefined group of object properties that Microsoft has thought to be a logical grouping. Getting to know these will help us get to know how to use them properly and efficiently. These two different methods will help determine how much data is pulled when one of these new cmdlets is run. Two different settings help with this reduction and those are Properties and PropertySets.
The data returned can be quite pared down and in fact can be pared own too far. In order to get this performance, Microsoft needed to reduce the data returned. Getting to know properties and property sets will be important.
The new cmdlets require us to think about exactly which properties we actually need from an object before hand. With the old cmdlets we had all the output we could want provided at once.
** Working with these cmdlets requires some restricting of the way one thinks about Exchange Online and how to use PowerShell cmdlets in general. Reducing the data returned does provide good performance feedback when running the cmdlets. Many times the values are not needed or empty, all causing load and network slowness due to the effort there is to query and display so much information.

Why is this important? Feel free to read this BLOG POST for some in depth information.Īnother change that these cmdlets bring is greatly reducing the amount of information (properties and values) that is returned by the cmdlets.
NEW HURTWORLD V2 MODS
Gorilla tag public mods discord.So what makes these cmdlets different from the previous version? One change is that these cmdlets utilize the Representational State Transfer (or REST) API to make their connections.
