Find Exchange Mailbox with a certain alias

 Today I was asked to find the mailbox that held a certain alias, or additional email address

The Exchange Admin Web client wasn't very helpful, but LDAP was with the following query...


searcher.Filter = $"(proxyaddresses=smtp:sales@company.com)";


The trick with the ldap query was I needed to include the smtp: prefix. 

In the end, it wasn't a mailbox or sharedbox, but rather a distribution list, and LDAP didn't care.

Tip to create an underline on a heading shorter than the heading itself

You can use a pseudo element with :before (or :after ): h1 { font - weight : 300 ; display : inline - block ; padding - bottom : 5px ; position : relative ; } h1 : before { content : "" ; position : absolute ; width : 50 %; height : 1px ; bottom : 0 ; left : 25 %; border - bottom : 1px solid red ; } http://jsfiddle.net/9e27b/ This is another solution that centers the heading, the problem here is that the underline gets shorter as the column gets shorter. h2 {   display: inline-block;   padding-bottom: 15px;   position: relative;   width: 100% ;   text-align: center; } h2:before{     content: "";     position: absolute;     width: 8%;     height: 1px;     bottom: 0;     left: 46%;     border-bottom: 1px solid red; }

The web.config no extension mime problem Lets Encrypt on IIS/Windows

  Tip when using LetsEncrypt in Windows - Feature Requests - Let's Encrypt Community Support In a paragraph, just use the web.config file to set the mime type, eg...  After trying to figure out why my Lets Encrypt failed to generate in Windows, and discovering that it's the no extension mime type problem, I wondered whether certbot could fill in the missing gap. All that is needed is the following web.config file to be placed in the same directory as the challenge <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="text/xml" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> </configuration> Because there's no mime type for files without an extension on IIS, IIS sends back a 404 when verification happens. The web.config file above sets the mime type. After I created the .well-known
