I thought I’d share a useful little powershell trick I used today which allowed me to easily compare two very similar mailboxes in Office 365. I had a user who had a duplicate mailbox which had been inadvertently created through an issue with AAD Sync. I knew all the fields I would be comparing would…
First off lets get all the set up variables out of the way. A lot of these are the same variables I use in every script and I just copy them in each time so you may not want to use them all.

Recently I needed to create a quick report that would allow me to see at a glance which accounts in that domain had been synchronised with AD Sync into Azure AD. It wasn’t possible using Get-ADuser and I knew an LDAP query would do the trick. First I had to download a powershell module called…
I have been working on a mail migration within an environment that has a Hybrid Exchange configuration with a single 365 tenant but which synchronises Active Directory from multiple forests. As part of the migration there is a need to migrate on-prem user accounts from a legacy forest into a new forest, but the accounts…
Here is a short powershell script to update job title and department in Active Directory, though this could be used to update any of the AD fields. Obviously you will need to create a CSV file beforehand which is populated with the required information. When the CSV is imported, no headers are specified in the…
This script enables you to generate a set of random complex passwords for a list of users which is imported as a CSV file. The password will contain upper and lowercase letters, symbols, numbers and will always be between 8-16 characters in length (meeting the O365 requirements). Obviously the functions can be tweaked to make…
