#Exchange2010 … Last day …
Check it link for more details around RBAC and role assignments .. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298183(EXCHG.140).aspx
I love this cmdlet:
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment –role “Mailbox Search” –GetEffectiveusers | FL Name, RoleAssigneeName, EffectiveuserName, AssignmentChain
As for certs you need to change the script to get it to work:
Import-ExchangeCertificate -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path c:certificatesIssuedCert.p7b -Encoding byte -ReadCount 0))
This script will check a DAG and compare the current database owner with the activationpreference. The first script will just report the status, while the second one will move the database
Get-MailboxDatabase | Sort Name | FOREACH {$db=$_.Name; $xNow=$_.Server.Name ;$dbown=$_.ActivationPreference| Where {$_.Value -eq 1}; Write-Host $db “on” $xNow “Should be on” $dbOwn.Key -NoNewLine; If ( $xNow -ne $dbOwn.Key){Write-host ” WRONG” -ForegroundColor Red; }ELSE{Write-Host ” OK” -Foregroundcolor Green}}
This will actually move the databases too
Get-MailboxDatabase | Sort Name | FOREACH {$db=$_.Name; $xNow=$_.Server.Name ;$dbown=$_.ActivationPreference| Where {$_.Value -eq 1}; Write-Host $db “on” $xNow “Should be on” $dbOwn.Key -NoNewLine; If ( $xNow -ne $dbOwn.Key){Write-host ” WRONG” -ForegroundColor Red; Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase $db -ActivateOnServer $dbOwn.Key -confirm:$False}ELSE{Write-Host ” OK” -Foregroundcolor Green}}

How Are Messages Routed Between Active Directory Sites
To modify the default message flow, you can:
#Exchange2010 … For the guys on the training here.
When you use the GUI wizard to create a new mailbox, there is a check box that says “Specify the mailbox database rather than using a database automatically selected” .. How does the database get automatically selected? What criteria gets used?
For #2 Set-MailboxDatabase -IsExcludedFromProvisioning:$True
The IsExcludedFromProvisioning parameter specifies that this database is permanently not considered by the mailbox provisioning load balancer. If the IsExcludedFromProvisioning parameter is enabled, new mailboxes aren’t added automatically to this database. You can manually add a mailbox if your role permits.
