How to create a basic document of the Exchange Online environment - (This one)

=============================================================

My last post addressed how to document your local Exchange org, and I had feedback from LinkedIn contacts suggesting that I should also create a script to document the basic configuration of Exchange Online.

So.... Here it is !!!

*** Download and save my Exchange Online Configuration Documentation Script - Link ***

My script doesn't do pretty HTML reports for management, it just gets all the information you need for Exchange Online environment documention.

The script generates a separate report for each of the following for Exchange Online.
  • Accepted Domains
  • Azure AD Connect - Directory Sync status
  • Free/Busy configuration
  • Inbound Connectors
  • Outbound Connectors
  • Mailbox count
  • Mailbox details
  • Mailboxes with Forwarders
  • Mailboxes with Full Access Delegates
  • Mailboxes with Send As Delegates
  • Mailboxes with Send on Behalf Delegates
  • Users configured with MFA - Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Mobile device policies
  • OWA Mailbox policies
  • Tenant Administrators
  • Transport Rules

Run the Exchange Online Configuration Documentation script -
Once connected to Exchange Online, run the script to create the reports.

After the script has successfully run, open the directory where you stipulated the reports to be generated. You will now see all the reports that are a mixture of txt and csv files.

An example of the csv is the MailboxDetails-EXOnline.csv below -

An example of one the txt files is the AcceptedDomain-EXOnline.txt below
