Say you have a department with 50 or so distribution lists and they want to have a user or group of users manage all of the lists, the following command would be used.
This command will list all distribution lists starting with Muni and update the ManagedBy setting accordingly.
Get-DistributionGroup | where{$_.Name -like’muni*’} |Set-Distributiongroup –managedby user1,user2,user3
NOTE: This command will overwrite any existing settings
Set-ADServerSettings -ViewEntireForest:$true
Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase DATABASENAME
Get-DistributionGroupMember “EXECUTIVES” | set-mailbox -auditenabled $true
Email sent to individual mailbox:
search-Mailbox -Identity “USER MAILBOX” -SearchQuery Subject:”SUBJECT” -DeleteContent
Email sent to distribution list:
Get-DistributionGroupMember “DISTRIBUTIONLISTNAME” | search-Mailbox -SearchQuery Subject:”SUBJECT” -DeleteContent
Email sent to a large number of users exported to a text file (one address per line):
Get-Content c:\Temp\FILENAME.txt | search-Mailbox -SearchQuery Subject:”SUBJECT” –DeleteContent
get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize Unlimited -Start “July 20 2015” | select-object eventid,timestamp,messageid,sender,recipients,messagesubject | out-gridview

Cause:
After five hours and two technicians on the phone with Microsoft, it was determined for our environment the Internal ActiveSync URL was un-configured and that was causing the client not to be able to locate free/busy resources. This requirement was a surprise to myself and the tech working the case.
