Extract users from AD group and add them to Mailbox

Question

I want to make a powershell script to extract an AD group and add the members to a specific mailbox. In that group is a group that i dont want to extract (doNotExtract). That is what i have so far:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$csv = @"
Mailbox,GroupName
Mailbox1,Group1
"@ | ConvertFrom-Csv

$ExcludedUsers = Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "doNotExtract" -Recursive | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SamAccountName

$csv | ForEach-Object {
    $mailbox = $_.Mailbox

    Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $_.GroupName -Recursive |

    Where-Object { ($ExcludedUsers -notcontains $_.SamAccountName) -and ($_.objectclass -eq 'user') } |
    ForEach-Object {
        Add-MailboxPermission -Identity $mailbox -User $_.SamAccountName -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All
    }
}

In the AD group are the following objects:

doNotExtract
User1
User2

I then start the script in the exchange management shell. But then it adds only User1 and User2 doesnt gets fullaccess on Mailbox1.

And i cant find the problem in the script...

Answer 1

在这种情况下，错误是User2也在donotextract组中。

Answer 2

I have experienced with Exchange Online that using SamAccountName doesn't always work smoothly. Have you tried using UserPrincipalName as input for Add-MailboxPermission instead of SamAccountName ?

I was also wondering why you extract members of an AD group and give them full access to a mailbox? Why don't you instead give the AD group itself full access to the mailbox?

Answer 3

As @4c74356b41 mentioned User2 was in the group "doNotExtract". It then doesnt adds him to the Mailbox because this group is excluded.
