i've a script on powershell to manage mailbox using EWS, however i'm not able to user the current filters and filter certain categories.
I would like filter categories that start by _ or * and apply to my current filters
$sfRead = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.SearchFilter+IsEqualTo([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.EmailMessageSchema]::IsRead, $True)
$WIPSubject = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.SearchFilter+ContainsSubstring([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ItemSchema]::Subject, "Assigned")
$sfNot = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.SearchFilter+Not($WIPSubject)
$sfCollection = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.SearchFilter+SearchFilterCollection([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.LogicalOperator]::And)
$sfCollection.add($sfRead)
$sfCollection.add($sfNot)
If you want to do a wildcard search on the Subject then I would suggest that you use AQS for queries instead https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn579420(v=exchg.150).aspx . SearchFilters don't support wildcards you have the ContainsSubString filter which will find partial string matches https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd633645(v=exchg.80).aspx which is the closest.

All,
I'm stuck at the following. I get list of emails in my inbox, and I need to search emails that contain specific string in subject (and then parse body of that email). I'm stuck at getting right syntax for filtering emails by subject.
I have this:
$Outlook = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application
$namespace = $Outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
$inbox = $namespace.GetDefaultFolder([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders]::olFolderInbox)
$emails = $inbox.items
$subjectComparisonExpression = "Meeting topic is: "
But then none of these work:
#1
$inbox.items | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like $subjectComparisonExpression} | Write-Host($_.Subject)
#2
$myemails = $inbox.items | Where-Object {$_.Subject -like $subjectComparisonExpression}
Write-Host($myemails.count)
#3
$myemails = $emails | Where {$_.Subject -like $subjectComparisonExpression}
Write-Host($myemails.count)
How do I get list of emails where subject contains $subjectComparisonExpression?
Use the Find/FindNext or Restrict methods of the Items class to find items that correspond to your conditions. The Restrict method is an alternative to using the Find method or FindNext method to iterate over specific items within a collection. The Find or FindNext methods are faster than filtering if there are a small number of items. The Restrict method is significantly faster if there is a large number of items in the collection, especially if only a few items in a large collection are expected to be found. You can read more about them in the following articles:

Problem was with '-like' keyword. Replaced it with '-match' and it works.
I'm trying to perform a search filter using EWS on a function based on Powershell.
I would like to mix AND & OR due i mix different properties, i've tried the method below but it didn't work as expected:
$sfCollectionAND = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.SearchFilter+SearchFilterCollection([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.LogicalOperator]::And)
$sfCollectionAND .add($SenderAddress1)
$sfCollectionAND .add($SenderAddress2)
$sfCollectionOR = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.SearchFilter+SearchFilterCollection([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.LogicalOperator]::Or)
$sfCollectionOR .add($sfCollectionAND)
$sfCollectionOR .add($ReceiveDate1)
$sfCollectionOR .add($ReceiveDate2)
Basically the filter purpose is 1st gather message between period of time and then exclude 2 senders.
I work on a team, who manage a few hundred servers. We each take primary responsibility for about 100 servers. I am the new person on the team, so I have a rule "MyServers" in outlook that makes a special sound and moves emails in to the folder "MyServers", when an email comes in with the name of one of my servers in the subject or body. Servers come and go, and the responsible person changes occasionally. I can use the GUI to modify the list, but what I want to do is use PowerShell to modify the list of servers based on a data set from a SQL query on our table of whom belongs to what. (also would be helpful when covering for someone else.)
Per PowerShell - Managing an Outlook Mailbox with PowerShell, By Joe Leibowitz, March 2013 it is possible in theory. That article and the post Hey, Scripting Guy! How Can I Tell Which Outlook Rules I Have Created? December 15, 2009 by ScriptingGuy1 have taught me how to get outlook files into PowerShell to read and or write. The post Multiple Actions for one Outlook rule in Powershell has also been helpful.
I can find several examples of creating rules, mostly around email addresses. As I did more research (below) it seems like the I want to modify 'TextRuleCondition.Text' but I am not finding any example code that gets in to reading OR modifying rule conditions for a single existing rule.
Specifying Rule Conditions
TextRuleCondition Object (Outlook)
TextRuleCondition.Text Property (Outlook)
Optimally: I would like to go to the "MyServers" rule and change the array, from what it is to a new array that I will build with PowerShell, after getting the list from a SQL table.

## Gets outlook rules on PC
#Requires -version 2.0
Add-Type -AssemblyName microsoft.office.interop.outlook
$olFolders = “Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders” -as [type]
$outlook = New-Object -ComObject outlook.application
$namespace = $Outlook.GetNameSpace(“mapi”)
$folder = $namespace.getDefaultFolder($olFolders::olFolderInbox)
$rules = $outlook.session.DefaultStore.<Some code here gets TextRuleCondition.Text for just MyServers>
$rules ## this displays the current value
##More code inserts the array that I built earlier (not actually built, yet as I don't know what it should look like)
$rules.Save() ## this saves the changes.
Everything I have found so far programmatically creates an entire new rule from PowerShell. Nothing indicates if it is, or is not possible to modify an existing rule. My Plan "B" would be to read the existing "MyServers" rule, modify the array, and overwrite the old rule with a new one. This is problematic as it limits options, only some conditions and actions can be created programmatically.
#setup
Add-Type -AssemblyName microsoft.office.interop.outlook
$olFolders = “Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders” -as [type]
$outlook = New-Object -ComObject outlook.application
$namespace = $Outlook.GetNameSpace(“mapi”)
#get all of the rules
$rules = $outlook.Session.DefaultStore.GetRules()
#get just the rule I care about
$myRule = $rules | ? { $_.Name -eq 'My Awesome Rule' }
#build my new array of text conditions
$textValues = #('ServerA', 'NewServerB')
#replace the existing value on my rule (this is assuming you are using BodyOrSubject, you can substitute Body, Subject, etc)
$myRule.Conditions.BodyOrSubject.Text = $textValues
#save all the rules
$rules.save()
I need to retrieve all Organizational Units from a given DN stringh, I am using Net::LDAP module and this little script:
my $msg = $ldap->search(
base=>'DC=sample1,DC=sample2',
filter=>'(objectclass=User)',
);
foreach $entry ($msg->entries) {
$dn = $entry->dn;
#how can i retrieve OUs?
}
For example if dn returns that string:
CN=Sample Sample,OU=One,OU=Two,DC=sample1,DC=sample2
I want to retrieve One and Two.
Issue a one level search request using the base object dc=example1,dc=sample2 and a presence filter of (ou=*). Given those results, issue a one level search using each returned ou with a presence filter of (ou=*). For each of these searches, specify a size limit and a time limit. For more information on search requests, see "LDAP: Using ldapsearch" and "LDAP: programming practices".
Most detailed "(&(ou=*)(objectClass=organizationalunit))"
I'm configuring a web site using PowerShell and I want to set the default document. How do I do this?
This is one way:
$metabasePath = "IIS://Localhost/W3SVC"
$iisNumber = "12345"
$site = new-object
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("$metabasePath/$iisNumber/root")
$site.psbase.Properties["DefaultDoc"].Value =
"newdefdoc.htm," + $site.psbase.Properties["DefaultDoc"].Value
$site.psbase.CommitChanges()
The value returned in $site.psbase.Properties["DefaultDoc"].Value is a comma separated list of documents so you may need to re-jig the order to suit your case. The example above just adds a new default document (newdefdoc.htm) to the top of the list.
