Posted on 13 October 2017 by Beaming Support

You can use Powershell commands to view mailbox permissions after migrating Exchange server.

After migrating to Office 365 or a new Exchange server, you may need to apply mailbox permissions to match the on-premise server. You can run the below Powershell commands on the on-premise server to find the permissions that you will need to implement on Office 365.

To get a list of users that have read access to other mailboxes, run the following command.

Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxPermission | where {($_.user.tostring() -ne “NT AUTHORITYSELF”) –and ($_.user.tostring() -ne “DOMAINDiscovery Management”) -and $_.IsInherited -eq $false} | Format-Table –AutoSize
