| Exchange – Mailbox folders permissions to other users |
A user asked me the way to grant permissions to other users to access to some of his mailbox folders. And for certain folder only read-only permissions.

| Exchange – SMTP error: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender |
Last week I was testing the IMAP/SMTP connection of my Exchange 2013. Unexpectedly Outlook returned the following error:
The message does not appear completely but seems to be “550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender”. Obviously the user does have the permissions (the user was the owner of the mailbox itself).

| Exchange 2013 – Exporting/importing mailboxes to a PST via Powershell |
Stop using Outlook to export and/or import PST for your mailboxes. By using the Powershell commands (New-MailboxExportRequest and New-MailboxImportRequest) I have saved much time. And they come with some useful options.
Here some simple and interesting examples:
[PS] C:\> New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox "user1" -FilePath "\\MYSERVER\PST\user1.pst"
The path must be an UNC path, a shared folder. After executing the … Read more

| Exchange – “Access to the path is denied” – New-MailboxExportRequest |
When export a PST using the New-MailboxExportRequest command, a UNC path is a mandatory parameter to set the target folder where the PST file will be saved.
Probably, that folder will not have the correct to permissions to allow Exchange to write into it, so the command would return this error:
[PS] C:\> New-MailboxExportRequest "user1" -FilePath "\\MYSERVER\PST\user1.pst"
