Office 365 – Script to Perform Message Trace By Subject

Office 365 – Script To Recreate “Managed Folders” Functionality
Despite all the new features that Microsoft has introduced around Retention Policies and Archiving, some clients that I work with still long for the day of “Managed Folders”.

Office 365 – Exchange Hybrid Issues With “Out of Sync Attributes”
For the most part, Directory Synchronization with Exchange Hybrid is fairly straight-forward. Your Active Directory is authoritative for nearly every attribute in Exchange Online with only a handful of attributes being written-back to the on-premises directory.
