I have one GAL which is syncing through Ms Forefront Identity Management. I am facing issue that some contact are there is the Global Address list but we are not be able to send email to them. I came to know that Legacy Exchange Attribute X500 is missing for these users.

Now I want to update all the recipient

but when I try the command

Get-MailContact  | Update-Recipient

IT is doing only for 1000 users how

Can some share the command to increase the size and also get the logs.

Regards,

Run get-mailcontact -resultsize unlimited | update-recipient 

-resultsize unlimited indicates it can get result for infinity

get-mailcontact -resultsize Unlimited | update-recipient c:\logs.csv will give the logs also

are we can get the logs also

  

get-mailcontact -resultsize Unlimited | update-recipient -verbose | export-csv c:\logs.csv 

use -verbose and export-csv

Hi,

We cannot export the verbose information to log with export-csv command or other method.

Why do you want the verbose information?

If you want to check if the update-recipient command executes successfully. We can search administrator audit log and export the result.

Search-AdminAuditLog -Cmdlets "update-recipient" | export-csv C:\log.csv

Best Regards.

HOW CAN TO FIGURE OUT THIS

Hi,

What's value you want to change using Set-MailContact ?

And about the error: The data in the command exceeded the maximumsize that is allowed by the session configuration. The allowed maximum is 500 MB. Change the input, two methods.

1. Break down the query like this KB

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2922668

2. Create a new PSSessionConfiguration (this to not use the default one) in your remote computer:

Register-PSSessionConfiguration -Name DataNoLimits

Then configuring the parameter you want (in this case MaximumReceivedDataSizePerCommandMB and MaximumReceivedObjectSizeMB):

Set-PSSessionConfiguration -Name DataNoLimits -MaximumReceivedDataSizePerCommandMB 800 -MaximumReceivedObjectSizeMB 800

Then create the new session with the PSSessionConfiguration you need:

$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName MyRemoteComp -ConfigurationName DataNoLimits

Best Regards.

Register-PSSessionConfiguration -Name DataNoLimits

Set-PSSessionConfiguration -Name DataNoLimits -MaximumReceivedDataSizePerCommandMB 8000 -MaximumReceivedObjectSizeMB 8000

$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName MyRemoteComp -ConfigurationName DataNoLimits

how can I filter it with

{$_.DisplayName -match "^[A-F]"}

in the above command

Hi,

We can filter it like this:

Get-MailContact -ResultSize unlimited -OrganizationalUnit "test.com/GALS/contacts" -Filter {LegacyExchangeDN -eq $null } | ? {$_.DisplayName -match "^[A-F]"}

Best Regards.

I have external contacts also that is coming from other OPCOs. How can I update those contacts.

How can we run update-recipient for external contact for bulk contacts

Hi,

Do you mean the all external contact for domain @xyz.com?

If yes, try this
