ExchangeOnline Region Presettings

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:37:23 +0000

This post is part of my Office365 experience. Today I’ve made a script to get startet with the ExchangeOnline PowerShell console.

Every time a user logged in for the first time into the Office365 Outlook webapp, he had to set his regional configuration.

Despite it’s not a lot of effort to change that, the timezone settings can be very confusing.

Running this script on random windows machine will open a ExchangeOnline PowerShell remote session and import them in your local session.

After the import it’s the local session pretends to be live on the ExchangeOnline server, your able to run every PowerShell Exchange CMDlet. Yeapeeee :)

try{

    #--------------------------------------------------#
    # settings

    $Language = "de-CH"
    $TimeZone = "W. Europe Standard Time"
    $DateFormat = "dd.MM.yyyy"

    $ADUsers = Get-ADUser -Filter {Mail -like "*"} -Properties sn, telephoneNumber, title
    $Mailboxes = $(Get-Mailbox)

    foreach($Mailbox in $Mailboxes){

        Write-Progress -Activity "Update settings" -status $($Mailbox.Name) -percentComplete ([Int32](([Array]::IndexOf($Mailboxes, $Mailbox)/($Mailboxes.count))*100))

        }else{
