Remove unwanted protocols from proxy address from public folders

Description

This script removes a selected protocol’s proxy address(es) from mail-enabled public folders.

Any proxy address with a given protocol is removed from the proxy addresses list.

The script can fix the alias of mail-enabled public folders as well. The code used is based on a blog post by Shay Levy.

Examples

# EXAMPLE 1
# Check mail enabled public folders for proxy addresses having "MS:" as a protocol type.
# Do not remove and update addresses, but log found addresses to RemovedAddresses.txt

.\Clean-MailEnabledPublicFolders.ps1 -ProtocolToRemove "MS:*" 

# EXAMPLE 2
# Check mail enabled public folders for proxy addresses having "MS:" as a protocol type.
# Remove and update addresses and log found addresses to RemovedAddresses.txt
