Per default the calendars of shared mailboxes in Office 364 have “FreeBusyTimeOnly” permissions applied.
You could create a new sharing policy and change the applied policy on those accounts.
I however chose to just change the sharing permissions on the shared calendar.
To help detect and prevent malicious behavior I usually implement different scripts or other monitoring features in my customers environments.
One of the snippets I frequently use is one that detects newly created accounts.
To update the DAG members with new patches the process should be managed to prevent all of the DAG members from being offline at the same time.
You can move the active mailbox databases off a particular server so that it can be patched, and if necessary rebooted, without causing any downtime for mailbox users on that database.
Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 introduced a new method for exporting mailboxes called Mailbox Export Requests. This new method replaces the previous Export-Mailbox command.

Some administrators prefer to do everything manually, other automated. I have always preferred to have as much as possible automated or at least set up with a script so the action can easily be repeated without varying end results.
I have written a script which verifies that all users that should have a home folder has one, and that it has the appropriate permissions.
I set up a small script which adds the username supplied during OSD to the local administrative group instead, which you could run from a TS.
This way only the Primary User gets elevated privileges over their own PC.
Lately I’ve been setting up a back-end script for one of our customers. The full script creates Domain users, generates passwords and emails the manager/CEO the user information.
This post will only contain the Email function, more functions will be posted later.
After setting up a new domain and deploying SCCM 2012 I came to realize how much work it actually is to set up new applications.
I have made a script which creates AD groups and Collections.
There is not enough temporary space reserved to download the software. You can use the Configuration Manager control panel applet to adjust the available temporary space.
Heres a small VBs script for fast Active Directory group creation.
Paste the following code into a text file and rename it to “CreateADGroups.vbs”.
