[Feature Request] Dynamically add shared mailboxes

[cfizz34]

I would like the ability to have shared mailboxes dynamically added to my backup job.

Hi, your request is noted. For now, you can use a PowerShell script as a workaround.

[cfizz34]

Any suggestion on how to accomplish this via powershell if I have various backup jobs separated by last name into buckets like A-C, D-E, and the such and if their office is set to %term%. I have limited options via the UI on the AD attributes to use, so that is why I am using office at this time.

What are all the attributes or fields I have available to me via the powershell scripts to inject a user dynamically into a specific job? I only see these:

OrganizationId
OfficeId
OnPremisesId
DisplayName
UserName
Type

You can query all shared mailboxes with a „exchange online shell“ get-mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox command and pipe the result in the vbo365 commands.

Vote from me for this RFE.

You can query all shared mailboxes with a „exchange online shell“ get-mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox command and pipe the result in the vbo365 commands.

Actually, it's possible to do this without get-mailbox, use Get-VBOOrganizationUser instead.

This script can be used to modify existing job, by updating it with current share mailboxes.

Code: Select all

Import-Module Veeam.Archiver.PowerShell

Connect-VBOServer -Server <VBOserver>

$job = Get-VBOJob -Name "SharedMailbox"

$org = Get-VBOOrganization -Name "company.onmicrosoft.com"

$sharedmailboxes = Get-VBOOrganizationUser -Organization $org -type SharedMailbox 

$backupitem = New-VBOBackupItem -User $sharedmailboxes -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox

Set-VBOJob -job $job -SelectedItems $backupitem

Disconnect-VBOServer

Any plans to add this into the UI instead?

Hi Chad,

Not at this moment, but we're collecting the feedback.

Would be a really nice feature to have in the UI

[falkob]

Would also love to see that in the wizard, count me in +1 for that feature please !

The problem is that this doesn't work with the Full MFA method as we cannot query the usertype at this point in time. MSFT is aware of this and a beta of this API is now in testing, but it still can take some time before that is GA. Once that is GA, we can look into this further
