Delete Specific E-Mail or E-Mails From All Exchange Mailboxes
Well this is week number two in my quest to post an article once a week and I am back with a common request for Exchange administrators. There are a lot of scenarios that bring up a need to remove an e-mail or e-mails from all mailboxes in your environment. Perhaps there was a disgruntled employee, a virus outbreak, or a reply all to the whole company. We all know that the “Retract” button is best effort (yes I still miss GroupWise for that purpose).
As always we can turn to PowerShell for our scripting needs. The Search-Mailbox command is your best friend for these scenarios. With a simple Get-Mailbox | Search-Mailbox you can take control of all your mailboxes. Be extremely cautious when executing, with great power comes great responsibility. For a full run down on how to accomplish this head on over to PowerShellBlogger.com. I look forward to seeing everyone again next week!

Media Sync: Organize Your Photos and Videos with PowerShell
Do you have photos and videos that you have taken over the years that are scattered all over the place? Do you want to have all your photos and videos organized? Do you want all your photos and videos to have a standardized naming scheme? If you answered YES to these questions, then this is the post for you. In this post, I will provide you with the PowerShell code and examples for how to use the Media Sync script. The Media Sync script utilizes the Shell.Application COM object to gather file metadata. Only files that have a picture or video metadata type will be processed. The script uses the date taken for pictures and the media created metadata fields to organize the photos and videos. If there is no date taken or media created available for a given file, the script will use the modify date instead. The script also ensures that you won’t have any duplicate files by checking the file hashes of the two files in question. If the script detects duplicate files, it will only keep one copy of the file. There are also tools included to help you cleanup unwanted files or folders, delete empty directories and find duplicate files. The script has a simple menu driven PowerShell GUI similar to what I did in a previous post . The Media Sync PowerShell script provides the following features:
