Hello,

can someone explain, how to correctly use ModernAuth with this script?
We would like to keep BasicAuth disabled for our O365-Tenant, because Microsoft will disable it in 2022.

Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Dear,

I have follow the steps but still geting an error:

1. create an .cred file for my admin account.
2. Create an bat file with following rules:
   @echo off
   cd "%~dp0EWS-Office365-Contact-Sync"

PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass ^
-File "C:\Users\cade\Desktop\EWS-Office365-Contact-Sync-master\EWSContactSync.ps1" ^
-CredentialPath "C:\temp\caglar.cred" ^
-FolderName "TEST Caglar" ^ name for the outlook contact folder. This folder does not exist. So it will create by it self on the user contact folder ?
-LogPath "%~dp0Logs" ^
-MailboxList icttest@.....,nl ^
-ModernAuth
pause

Would it be possible to add the office, address, and fax number to the contact information of each contact?

Hi, I'm trying to run the script as is with my global admin account on my regular user account, gets the following. You have any tip?

Hello Ryan,

first of all, thanks for the great Code.

I´m getting following message when i try to run your script for some users:
2021.03.03 16:15:38 INFO Updating Contact: [email protected]
2021.03.03 16:15:38 ERROR Failed to sync [email protected] contact to [email protected]'s mailbox Die Eigenschaft "GivenName" wurde für dieses Objekt nicht gefunden.
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Eigenschaft vorhanden ist und festgelegt werden kann.
(The Attribute "givenname" wasn´t found for this object.
Check if the attribute exists and can be allocated.) this may derive a little from my translation, but basically that.

The tricky part seems to be, that those contacts can be synched to most of the mailboxes.

Maybe you could give me a hint where to look for the missing configuration or why it wouldnt find those attributes.

Best regards
Adrian

Hello :)

I'm getting the following error when I wish to apply the GAL to DIRECTORY.

Hi,

Good afternoon.

Hi Ryan!

If possible how can I reach that only AD enabled user accounts create as contacts with your script?
Currently if a user left the company and the phone number which was belinging to him/her moved to another user the same phone number will present on both contacts. Thats why I would like to create contacts only for AD enabled users as those who left the company are in disabled state.

Cheers!

When i try to use the script, i've the error :

Hello !

I'm using the script with O365 and it's working well for me and create a contacts from all users that have mailbox .

But in my GAL I also have contacts (they doesn't require a licence), this is just a contact with a mail and a number, but no mailbox attached, so, in outlook I can browse them in the GAL subsection named "All Contacts" .

Theses contacts seems to be avoided / not synced in the folder where the script is creating local contacts.

Is this a known issue ? did I miss a configuration ? or any plans to implement that also ?

Regards !

I have the problem that the created folder is not found in the personal contacts in the mailbox.
the public autodiscover points to Exchange Online, but it cannot find two arguments.
enclosed the error message when running the script:

FATAL Failed verify that "" exists for "[email protected]" Exception when calling "AutodiscoverUrl" with 2 argument(s): "The Autodiscover service could not be located."
Write log : Failed verify that "GAL" exists for [email protected]
In line:56 characters:4

how can i solve this issue?

I was expecting this script would remove accounts that are no longer listed in the GAL. Do I have the wrong assumption, or isn't it working as it supposed to work?

Hi!

if syncing a single user everything works.
when syncing all users with DIRECTORY flag i got the following error:

ERROR Failed to Sync-ContactList for [email protected] Failed verify that MY COMPANY contacts exists for [email protected]

also getting 404 and 503 errors

Good morning.
I have the script working in my environment, but I was curious if there was a way to put in an exclude list? I have about 15 numbers that we don't want to sync, but their AD accounts have phone numbers that need to stay.

Thanks!

This script was created for contact sync on android/ios but the contact sync is only working if I override the default contact folder, creating a secondary/ sub-folder works but the IOS / Android device does not sync the contacts.

is this known? or am I missing something?

Hi

Is it possible to filter the sync to only hit a certain domain?

fx domain.dk only get the DK contacts
domain.se only gets the SE contacts?

When we have changes to the users numbers, they doesnt get updated in the users folders? - is there a way to make this happen?

Hello everyone,

I came across the script here. This is my first post at Github.

I have to implement it for my employer as it is written in the script and unfortunately I have some problems with understanding.

Basically it works. Many thanks to the author.

Problem no 1:
In the mailboxlist I can enter an address or DIRECTORY. Both works. But I have to fill a handful of addresses. As in the example of the description with $MailboxList = @("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]") it does not work. I tried some variants, unfortunately without success.

Problem no 2:
I would like to use the optional parameters ExcludeContactsWithoutPhoneNumber and ExcludeSharedMailboxContacts In the script I set the parameters to $true. Unfortunately the script does not run anymore. I have tried some variants here as well, unfortunately without success.

It would be great if someone could help me with this. I am not the fittest in scripting and programming.

Thanks and best regards
Alex

Hi there,

I am wondering if a parameter can be added so that when called, the script doesn't delete contacts that don't exist in the GAL?

A little background, our organization for a few reasons uses the Outlook app exclusively on all phones, with the contact sync feature turned on. This feature unfortunately only syncs from the default Contacts folder, not any custom folders. Running the script against the contacts folder results in any custom contacts being bulldozed over.

A workaround I implemented myself was to simply change Line 63 of Sync-ContactList.ps1 to $MailboxContactsToBeDeleted = $null.

The end result is that custom contacts are retained, and actual employees are kept up-to-date with the latest information. This was pretty easy to communicate to employees what to expect.

Anyways, if this could be an official parameter to not delete contacts, that would be great. My worry is updating to a newer release in the future and forgetting about that line, and end up forgetting to reset it and deleting people's contacts.

Thanks for reading!

I cannot seem to get the settings to work, but I do have the Azure Active Directory Security defaults turned on.
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/concept-fundamentals-security-defaults)
I'm getting the following error:

Hi,
I'm trying to use the script but instead of syncing the GAL to all users, I want to sync the GAL with specific Distribution lists \ Mail-enabled Security Groups.
I'm trying to add the required commands to the script but I'm having difficulties.

Hi,

Is it possible to get this scripts running in an "Automation Account" service in Azure?
I didn't find it in the Modules gallery, but it is possible to upload module through a zip file.

Hi Ryan,
thanks for the script.

Is it possible to get all users in Office 365 with an email adress?

In your old script you used "$Users = Get-User -Filter {WindowsEmailAddress -ne $null} -ResultSize unlimited", it seems that in your new script only users with a mailbox in Exchange Online are included.
We have an Exchange Hybrid environment and not all users are migrated to Exchange Online.

Thanks for response

Hi,

Thanks for a great script, I'm just wondering what this CreditCardValidator.dll is doing?

https://github.com/grahamr975/EWS-Office365-Contact-Sync/blob/master/EWSContacts/Module/bin/CreditCardValidator.dll

Thanks.

This script stopped working for me at the end of september. MFA has been enabled in our tenant, but the user that I'm using to for the script has been excluded. But no matter what I do I cannot seem to get the script to work. Has anyone else seen this issue?

tried to change code to GetGALcontacts.ps1

$ContactList += Get-Contact | Select-Object DisplayName,FirstName,LastName,Title,Company,Department,WindowsEmailAddress,Phone,Country,City,Street

Outlook have these rows which i would like to update, how it can be achieved ? thanks

Business Address Street: 
Business Address City: 
Business Address Postal Code: 
Business Address Country/Region: 

EDIT 2021-02-13 16:00: Outlook mobile shows only City property, there is no problem if we could enable data import from only City property. So then i could update all contact with all address properties in one line and i think it is a good solution and less hardwork to update all these code lines.

maybe in the future release there will be a switch to enable extended properties like Photo,Country,City,Street,Department ??

Also i checked all yours PS modules and i see that all extended properties are written with such variables Photo,Country,City,Address,Department and a lot more.. more than 20.

I like to test things, if there is something i could try to do it myself let me know where i need to update powershell code to have such properties included while importing data to all employee Contacts folder because in some code if i write these variables like previous are written in some format i get an error about bad object contruction... so i think these information must be updated not just in one file but also on others...

The script runs without error in our environment, creates the folder for the mailbox then starts importing contacts but at a rate of about one every 4 minutes. No errors or additional information seemed to be logged.

Having a little issue. Any idea what would cause this to stall at "Using Negotiate Auth" then error with the below message?

Hello everyone,

I would like to deploy script on AD Group. So i changed Mailbox Parameter code:

[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)]
[String[]]
$MailboxList = @(Get-ADGroupMember -Identity ExampleName -recursive | get-aduser -Properties mail | select mail),

What should i do? Any sugesstions?

Hello :)

Are you aware that contacts who are not in the "default contacts" is not seen on IOS/Android?

Right now I don't see any of my contacts from my custom folder(created with the script) to appear in my native contact app.
Sync/save is enabled inside Outlook (Mobile app)

Hi, first of all, this script is great and is doing a great job in getting the GAL onto our users iPhones.

However, I am trying to add some of the parameters (see below from the BAT file) but it is ignoring them. Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Alex

Hello

Possible to validate if the contact has a "Phone number" in any kind
if yes
SYNC to the contacts folder
if no
Throw.

So we don't end up with service accounts with no phone number

Hi there,
I've found an issue, say if John Smith has a phone number in his GAL in 'Business Phone' field. I pull that data into an array and push to users Contacts folders. Later John Smith stops having a work phone number and we empty the 'Business Phone' field from the GAL and do another sync.
The current processing of Sync-ContactList doesn't replicate the empty field to the end users contacts when doing a sync.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi,
using this script it would be possible to synchronize contacts from a public folder ??
what changes should be made to this line of code ??

Hi!
I'm executing the script with the switch -ExcludeContactWithoutPhoneNumber and it works fine but I'm also getting users that are hidden from the gal. Any ideas on how to exclude those as well?

Hi,

Currently I'm trying to synchronize our GAL (around 3000 contacts) to our users contacts folder (a custom one) but it always stops after the letter "G" (which takes 4-5 minutes) to get there. The script doesn't crash but just goes to the next "mailbox" in the $MailboxList and then start importing/updating the same amount of contacts. I don't see any error in the logs.

Do you have any idea what can cause this issue? I tried to run the same script on a VM but I'm getting experiencing the same issue there.

Kind regards,
Mats

Hi, I've been trying to get this working. I've had to tweak a few parts of it to work for what I need, but after running it's leaving a folder (with the name I specified) and the only contacts inside are those that are actual users. No contacts added to the exchange contact list appear to have synchronised. Please can you assist? :)

Hi,
I'm trying to use the script but instead of syncing only MailUser and UserMailbox (RecipientType), i want to sync the GAL with MailUser + MailContact.
I can list MailContact with Get-MailContact
I'm trying to add the required commands to the script but I'm having difficulties.

By the way, thanks for the script!

Hi

i tried to find a way to limit the Sync applied to only UserMailboxes without Resource or Shared-Mailboxes.

Normaly this whould be like "Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox"
But this is of course not possible at the Get-Mailboxes -Connect... command if used "DIRECTORY".

# If 'DIRECTORY' is used for $MailboxList, fetch all Mailboxes from the administrator account's Office 365 directory if ($MailboxList -eq "DIRECTORY") { $MailboxList = Get-Mailboxes -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credentials $Credential }

Is it possible you add a "filter" like this to only apply to almost "real users"?
Regards and thank you very much for your engagement with this great script!

Hi @grahamr975,

Is there an option to exclude an prefix in the phone number ?

Now its adding our Area code in the contacts. Its not an big issue but android does not get it correctly

So it adds the users number as : +31(0)61234567

I want to be able to add the number as : +3161234567

So exclude (0). Do you think this is possible to write this in the Set-exccontact.ps1 or other ps1 ?

Thank you for your time.

Hello !
I'm not sure if this is an issue or expected / standard behavior but each contact take ~4 minutes to create . The script is currently running for 24hours and I have only 417 contacts created on my exchange specified folder.
I think the GAL is about 1200 users so it would take a very long time to run this script on DIRECTORY option (or I should take a loop on a csv file with all users adresses and run this script at the same time on all my accounts ) .

I read you run this on DIRECTORY once a week so i'd like to know if you just have few users on your directory or my contact creation speed is abnormal ?

No expected time is written in the readme so I think writting an issue about this is ok ?

Except this, this script is wonderfull and I want to thank you a lot about this, this is so usefull when you need to manage a lot of company mobile devices on Android or iPhones. (native exchange offline gal sync is an option missed from a lot of years now) .

Regards !

Hello,

Does this script support OAuth for authentication? If so, I was unable to find documentation on configuring that. EWS for Office 365 is removing support for Basic Authentication on October 13.
