HiSatheshwaran,
Thanks for the script. I have a question for you. I am currently running Office 365.
Your script has Exchange2010_sp1 as its version. Since Office 365 is using Exchange 2013 at the backend, should it be changed?
$ExchVer = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeVersion]::Exchange2010_sp1
After running the script, I received the following error. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
