Some time ago I spoke about monitoring mailbox rules with PowerShell and how we’ve always used the “Get-inboxrule” cmdlet as delegate administrator to retrieve the rules and alert on them. Its been brought to my attention that recently API-created rules are no longer showing up using get-inboxrule.
so to resolve this, I’ve decided to rewrite the monitoring script for this by using the audit log instead. This script grabs the last day of the unified audit log and alerts if a new rule has been found. It will also alert you if the unified audit log is not enabled.
All Tenants Script
$ApplicationId = 'YourApplicationID'
$ApplicationSecret = 'YourApplicationSecret' | Convertto-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$TenantID = 'YourTenantID'
$ExchangeRefreshToken = 'YourExchangeToken'
$RefreshToken = 'YourRefreshToken'
$UPN = "UPN-Used-To-Generate-Token"
##############################
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId, $ApplicationSecret)
$aadGraphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.windows.net/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $tenantID
$graphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.microsoft.com/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $tenantID
Connect-MsolService -AdGraphAccessToken $aadGraphToken.AccessToken -MsGraphAccessToken $graphToken.AccessToken
$customers = Get-MsolPartnerContract -All
$logs = foreach ($customer in $customers) {
$startDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
$endDate = (Get-Date)
$token = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId 'a0c73c16-a7e3-4564-9a95-2bdf47383716'-RefreshToken $ExchangeRefreshToken -Scopes 'https://outlook.office365.com/.default' -Tenant $customer.TenantId
$tokenValue = ConvertTo-SecureString "Bearer $($token.AccessToken)" -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($upn, $tokenValue)
$customerId = $customer.DefaultDomainName
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://ps.outlook.com/powershell-liveid?DelegatedOrg=$($customerId)&BasicAuthToOAuthConversion=true" -Credential $credential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
$s = import-PSSession $session -AllowClobber -CommandName "Search-unifiedAuditLog", "Get-AdminAuditLogConfig"
if((Get-AdminAuditLogConfig).UnifiedAuditLogIngestionEnabled -eq $false){
write-host "AuditLog is disabled for client $($customer.name)"
}
$LogsTenant = @()
Write-Host "Retrieving logs for $($customer.name)" -ForegroundColor Blue
do {
$logsTenant += Search-unifiedAuditLog -SessionCommand ReturnLargeSet -SessionId $customer.name -ResultSize 5000 -StartDate $startDate -EndDate $endDate -Operations "New-InboxRule", "Set-InboxRule", "UpdateInboxRules"
Write-Host "Retrieved $($logsTenant.count) logs" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}while ($LogsTenant.count % 5000 -eq 0 -and $LogsTenant.count -ne 0)
Write-Host "Finished Retrieving logs" -ForegroundColor Green
$LogsTenant
}
foreach($log in $logs){
$AuditData = $log.AuditData | ConvertFrom-Json
Write-Host "A new or changed rule has been found for user $($log.UserIds). The rule has the following info: $($Auditdata.Parameters | out-string)`n"
}
if(!$Logs){
write-host "Healthy."
}
Single tenant script
$ApplicationId = 'YourApplicationID'
$ApplicationSecret = 'YourApplicationSecret' | Convertto-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$TenantID = 'YourTenantID'
$ExchangeRefreshToken = 'YourExchangeToken'
$RefreshToken = 'YourRefreshToken'
$UPN = "UPN-Used-To-Generate-Token"
$ClientTenantName = "bla.onmicrosoft.com"
##############################
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId, $ApplicationSecret)
$customers = $ClientTenantName
$logs = foreach ($customer in $customers) {
$startDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)
$endDate = (Get-Date)
$token = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId 'a0c73c16-a7e3-4564-9a95-2bdf47383716'-RefreshToken $ExchangeRefreshToken -Scopes 'https://outlook.office365.com/.default' -Tenant $ClientTenantName
$tokenValue = ConvertTo-SecureString "Bearer $($token.AccessToken)" -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($upn, $tokenValue)
$customerId = $customer.DefaultDomainName
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://ps.outlook.com/powershell-liveid?DelegatedOrg=$($customerId)&BasicAuthToOAuthConversion=true" -Credential $credential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
$s = import-PSSession $session -AllowClobber -CommandName "Search-unifiedAuditLog", "Get-AdminAuditLogConfig"
if((Get-AdminAuditLogConfig).UnifiedAuditLogIngestionEnabled -eq $false){
write-host "AuditLog is disabled for client $ClientTenantName)"
}
$LogsTenant = @()
Write-Host "Retrieving logs for $ClientTenantName)" -ForegroundColor Blue
do {
$logsTenant += Search-unifiedAuditLog -SessionCommand ReturnLargeSet -SessionId $customer.name -ResultSize 5000 -StartDate $startDate -EndDate $endDate -Operations "New-InboxRule", "Set-InboxRule", "UpdateInboxRules"
Write-Host "Retrieved $($logsTenant.count) logs" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}while ($LogsTenant.count % 5000 -eq 0 -and $LogsTenant.count -ne 0)
Write-Host "Finished Retrieving logs" -ForegroundColor Green
$LogsTenant
}
foreach($log in $logs){
$AuditData = $log.AuditData | ConvertFrom-Json
Write-Host "A new or changed rule has been found for user $($log.UserIds). The rule has the following info: $($Auditdata.Parameters | out-string)`n"
}
if(!$Logs){
write-host "Healthy."
}
So that’s it! this should get -all- rules that have been created, including the ones by the old EWS API. Happy PowerShelling!
