Exchange: Powershell list all user who have a Forward or Redirect active

Problem:

In Exchange 2010 users are able to forward E-Mail themself to an external private account. This is a problem because of compliance and if you don't have a DLP (Data Lost Prevention).

There are ways to prevent this (With a Mail Control Rule > Transport rule) or with a DRAC permission set. However then also some technical accounts which HAVE to mailcopy external may get targeted. See below at end for a solution or at least a direction to go.

This is what we talk about in Exchange2010 GUI.

Here is how to find out which users in the Organization have such a forward or Redirect active.

Powershell command:

Forwards

foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited)) { Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $i.DistinguishedName | where {$_.ForwardTo} | fl MailboxOwnerID,Name,ForwardTo>> d:\edv\exchange_Forward.txt }

Delegates

foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited)) { Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $i.DistinguishedName | where {$_.ReDirectTo} | fl MailboxOwnerID,Name,RedirectTo>> d:\edv\exchange_Redirect.txt }

Another query which does not catch all

Get-Mailbox | Where {$_.ForwardingAddress -ne $null} | Select Name, ForwardingAddress, DeliverToMailboxAndForward

Prevent with RBAC from (Sike Fogarty - BPOS Support)

   Sign into the EAC click on Permissions > User Roles > Click on the Plus sign to add an additional Role Assignment Policy naming it whatever you want and under MyBaseOptions you will see the Disable-Auto-Forward option that you will want to place a check mark in. Save the Role Assignment Policy.

   Assign the Role Assignment Policy to the user(s) desired.
