Forward emails from shared mailbox to external network or within Org


You can forward the emails which are received on shared mailbox to external users through PowerShell.

Please run the below mentioned commands. Open Windows PowerShell as an administrator (use Run as administrator).


Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

$credential = Get-Credential

 Import-Module MsOnline

$exchangeSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $credential -Authentication "Basic" –AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $exchangeSession –DisableNameChecking

There are two options to set forwarding.

1. First sets the mailbox to forward but doesn’t keep a copy so when you look in the mailbox it will always be empty

Set-Mailbox user@.yourdomain.com –ForwardingSmtpAddress user@domain.com –DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false



2. Second which does keep a copy of the mail and forwards the mail.

 Set-Mailbox user@.yourdomain.com –ForwardingSmtpAddress user@domain.com –DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false



In the above command “user@yourdomain.com”  represents the shared mailbox and user@domain.com represents the external user.

Recently i delivered a project for Intune Deployment and came up with a requirement as follows End Users Should not be able to save data locally on C or D Drive, instead they should be allowed to save data only in One Drive for business (synced with System)  Based on the requirement i did my research and found the Following. its possible to control the Local System settings on a Azure AD joined Machine and Managed by Intune. There is no options to define exceptions in policies to allow data saving in certain folders.  Now most of us will think WIP (windows information protection) policy will help us protecting the data on device, however that's not completely true as . User can change the File Ownership to personal if the WIP policy is set to Allow Override. User can save the file locally on the system User will not be able to copy the data from work file to Personal file if policy is set to Allow override. Unenlightened apps cannot differentiate between personal and corporate...
