Hi team,

Is there any PowerShell cmd to change inbox rules and folders for 50 users?

Appreciate your help!

Answer 1

Hi @J-3804,

Sorry but can you clarify on "change inbox rules and folders"?

If you mean the original inbox rule is like:

condition: If the message is from user01

action: move it to a folder named "important"

Would you like to change the folder "important" to another one in this case?

If this is the case, you can follow below steps.

1.run this cmdlet to get the inbox rule you want to modify

Get-InboxRule -Mailbox ******@Contoso.com | fl Name,Description,RuleIdentity,MoveToFolder

2.run this cmdlet to modify the target folder (the target folder must exist in the mailbox)

Set-InboxRule -Identity "inbox rule name or RuleIdentity" -MoveToFolder ******@Contoso.com:\new_target_folder

If you would like to do this for 50 users, do the rules have something in common?

For example, these rules move messages from user01 to "important" folder, and your current purpose is to change the folder to "archive".
