How can we improve the tenant admin features O365?

← Office 365 Admin

View Current Automapping setting

Currently there is no way to view whether Automapping of a mailbox is enabled or disabled in office 365. It would be nice to be able to view this value in either powershell or the GUI.

Additionally it would be nice to be able to turn automapping on or off via the EMC instead of only powershell.

    Totally agree. MS should implement it as soon as possible.
    The turn on of the automap feature will cause huge OST file size (particularly if the Outlook account is linked to large amount of shared mailboxes), which may cause slow Outlook startup and corruption of the OST file.
    The automap of the O365 account should be easily monitored via the EAC portal.

    I do not understand how you have a setting that you can apply that in turn has no way to lookup or verify the result. That is insane, get this fixed MS.

    Please provide the ability to view the automapping status of each mailbox delegation and the default for each mailbox. It causes problems weekly for us.

    Absolutely ridiculous! Three and a half years after the request and nothing, but 365 developers have time to revamp whole 365 admin UI every year.
    This is not some stupid UI change. This is an option that exists, but we cannot read the status of!
    I have so many problems where users trying to add an account manually when automapping is on. Then I have to spend my time to resolve issues with mailboxes not connecting, not sending emails.

    Additionally, even in hyrbid this only seems to provide Automapping information for those accounts still on premises.

  • Derek Moller commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I absolutely agree, the Get-MailboxPermission should be able to return this information. Even in hybrid it would be nice to have a much simpler method.

    Sadly, this is still the current behavior in a cloud-only EXO tenant, even after 3 years.
    The only (tedious) way to be certain automapping is set to false is to remove and re-add permissions which is definitely not the most practical if you have a large pool of users to pass through.
    Need more votes so pass this UserVoice around!

    While I completely agree that O365 Engineers need to learn PS, this is a task I want my helpdesk to handle. Based on skill level and turn-over, the current methods are too complicated to expect my support desk to manage. That means I have very highly paid engineers checking and fixing permissions for mailboxes. Please provide this capability or let Premier handle it.

    If you're in a hybrid configuration with Azure AD Connect you can do this in powershell. Hope this helps someone.

    Sorry it's not commented or pretty, busy days this month.

    Import-Module ActiveDirectory

    $automapped = Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties msexchdelegatelistlink, UserPrincipalName |
    where {$_.msexchdelegatelistlink -ne ""} |
    Select-Object name, @{N="msExchDelegateListLink"; e={$_.msexchdelegatelistlink}}, UserPrincipalName
    $targets= @()

    foreach($User in $automapped)

    {
    $Delegates = $user | select @{ N="Name"; e= {$_ |select -ExpandProperty MsExchDelegateListLink}}
    $delegatesExp = $Delegates | Select -ExpandProperty Name
    foreach($delegate in $delegatesExp)

    {
    If ($delegate -notlike "CN=Administrator*")

    {
    $DelegatedUserUPN = Get-ADUser -Identity ($Delegate.tostring()) -Properties Userprincipalname | Select UserPrincipalName
    $DelegatedName = ($Delegate.split(",")[0]).replace("CN=","")
    $target = New-Object psobject
    $target | Add-Member -type noteproperty -Name "User Name" -Value ($user.Name) -force

    How the **** is this feature STILL not available?? Can somebody PLEASE get on this?

  • Michael Burke commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Admin's should expect to have to use PowerShell to properly admin the tenant. Let's not get lazy. Learn PS!

  • Jason commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    So many years for exchange and online, still can't check this.
    It should not be so hard to add this in PS
