Public Folder Scripts and Basic Authentication

By now you need to be informed that Microsoft will change off simple authentication in Office environment 365 later this 12 months and that will strike Exchange On-line seriously. It’s not a massive offer when it comes to mail customers or the administrator console (EAC), but automation making use of PowerShell scripts will be impacted and I not too long ago ran into such an concern.

If you have an Exchange hybrid atmosphere and are working with Community Folders, (some of) your Mailboxes are in Exchange On line, but your Community Folders are nevertheless on-premises. For this to do the job properly, your Public Folder Mailboxes must be synchronized employing Azure Advert Join, and you need to run a PowerShell script (known as Sync-ModernMailPublicFolders.ps1) to synchronize the mail-enabled General public Folders with Trade On the internet.

This operates great, right up until Fundamental Authentication is turned off and an mistake is demonstrated:

Or in plain text:

Not able to create a distant shell session to Trade Online. The mistake is as follows: “Connecting to distant server outlook.office environment365.com unsuccessful with the subsequent error information: Accessibility is denied

You will not see this error promptly, but at some stage you will observe that alterations in Community Folders are not noticeable in Outlook any more.

The not advisable resolution is to re-permit standard authentication, but you can also obtain the up-to-date script from Microsoft that assist present day authentication as of May possibly 2022. You can uncover the up to date General public Folder migration scripts on the Microsoft web site.

Be aware: Another pitfall in this article is conditional access imposing MFA, I ran into this as properly at a purchaser, ensuing in the exact mistake message.
