Remove Orphaned HealthMailbox and SystemMailbox Accounts from MESO Container

Description

This script removes Active Directory objects for HealthMailboxes or SystemMailboxes in the Microsoft Exchange System Objects (MESO) container that do not have a homeMDB attribute set.

It is highly recommended to run the script with -WhatIf parameter to check objects first.

The script writes information about accounts deleted or supposed to be deleted in a log file.

Requirements

• This script utilizes the GlobalFunctions PowerShell module. This module needs to be installed first.
