PowerShell Scripts to manipulate AD & Exchange Objects

Create_PublicFolder_Redacted.ps1

This script creates a Public Folder, which is often used in a corporate environment as an alternative to a Shared Mailbox, and is intended to be run by staff who work on a Service Desk

• Before running the script, the staff member would need to update the input file, with the relevant name & email address for the new Public Folder
• The script itself is split into 2 parts to allow time for replication between AD & Exchange, and the staff member is prompted to confirm if they want to run each part of the script.
• The first part reads the input file, create the PF, mail-enables it and creates the relevant Auth & SendAs security groups.
• The second part mail-enables the security groups and adds them to the PF.
• Then staff member then needs to manually add end-users to the Public Folder using AD
