That is interesting. Been playing with Exchange Online Mailbox types.
With the -Type parameter specifies the mailbox type for the mailbox. Valid values are:
Now I had never noticed this before, but when you switch a mailbox to anything other than Regular, the UserAccountControl changes to AccountDisabled.
That would explain why authenticated SMTP relay to smtp.office365.com would stop working :-o
We are looking to the future, and getting ready to remove OnPrem Exchange. To do this we need to deal with SMTP Relay.
Microsoft have this doc to help: https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/How-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-Office-365-69f58e99-c550-4274-ad18-c805d654b4c4
But I wanted to code it ;-)
Quite simple, you need to use an Exchange Online Account: $Password = "#mailbox password" $emailFrom = "#mailbox" $SMTPServer = "smtp.office365.com" $SMTPPort = 587 $emailTo = "#recipient" $msgsubject = "testing testing 1-2-3" $msgBody = "hello world" $message = New-Object Net.Mail.MailMessage($emailFrom, $emailTo, $msgsubject, $msgBody) $message.IsBodyHTML = $True $smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SMTPServer,$SMTPPort) $smtp.EnableSSL = $true $smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($emailFrom, $Password); $smtp.Send($message)

So, I have a single forest with multiple domains. I wanted to use the native ActiveDirectory module for find a SamAccountName.
I came up with this:
$sam = "mysam"
$domains = (Get-ADForest).domains
ForEach($domain in $domains){
Write-Host $domain
Get-ADUser -Filter 'SamAccountName -eq $sam ' -Server $domain -Properties *| select DistinguishedName
}
Then I had a brain fart! Why not use a GC? Its quicker ;-)
$sam = "mysam" $forest = (Get-ADForest).Name + ":3268" Get-ADUser -Filter 'SamAccountName -eq $sam' -Server $forest -Properties * | select DistinguishedName
enjoy!

“We are excited to announce a new version of Enterprise Reporter 3.0 is now available for download.
Look what’s new:
Long story, but I needed a way to normalise a text string. Say this:
$txt = "Correo electrónico del usuario"
and I found this:
[Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString([Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding(1251).GetBytes($txt))
and the result is:
Correo electronico del usuario
Awesome, job done!
