Adding Public Folder to the Serch Criteria

Question

So I modifyed the Script so that it can also search for the Public Folder Access as Owner. But i my getting an Error message.

{
$exchangeServer = "Server" # TODO: modify me
$parameterName = "Name" # TODO: modify me

try
{
# Connect to Exchange server
$session = New-PSSession -connectionURI "http://$exchangeServer/powershell" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange
Import-PSSession -session $session -CommandName "Get-Mailbox", "Get-MailboxPermission", "Get-PublicFolder" -AllowClobber

$mailboxes = Get-mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited
$publicFolders = Get-PublicFolder -ResultSize Unlimited
$guidsBytes = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
$parameterValue = $Context.GetParameterValue($parameterName)

# Check permissions for mailboxes
foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes)
{
    $permissions = $mailbox | Get-MailboxPermission -User $parameterValue | Where{$_.AccessRights -like '*FullAccess*'}
    if ($NULL -eq $permissions)
    {
        continue
    }

    $guidsBytes.Add($mailbox.Guid.ToByteArray())
}

# Check permissions for public folders
foreach ($publicFolder in $publicFolders)
{
    $permissions = $publicFolder | Get-PublicFolderClientPermission -User $parameterValue | Where{$_.AccessRights -like '*Owner*'}
    if ($NULL -eq $permissions)
    {
        continue
    }

    $guidsBytes.Add($publicFolder.Identity.ToByteArray())
}
}
finally
{
# Close the remote session and release resources
if ($session) { Remove-PSSession -Session $session}
}

# Add mailboxes and public folders to report
$searcher = $Context.CreateGuidBasedSearcher($guidsBytes)
$Context.Items.Add($searcher)

Hello,

It looks like the issue occurs because of the $parameterName variable being incorrect. You need to specify it with the param- prefix:

$parameterName = "param-Name" # TODO: modify me

Also, we are not quite sure what exactly you need to achieve. Please, describe the desired behavior in all the possible details with live examples.

Hello

So I what to get the mailbox full access permissions and public folder owner access, in one report.

So that when I search a user I get all the information about what full access the user has and what public folders the user as access to.

I changed the Param it but i'm still getting the same error.

Hello,

Thank you for specifying. However, there is no such thing as full access for public folders. For available permissions, have a look at parameter -AccessRights of the following Microsoft article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/add-publicfolderclientpermission?view=exchange-ps#-accessrights. Please, specify the one you need and we will update the script for you accordingly.
