SetPrivateFlags.exe will SET the private flag on all messages matching a subject substring.
See https://github.com/Apoc70/RemovePrivateFlag, if you want to remove private message flags.
When you migrate from an alternative email server solution (e.g. Lotus Notes) and a mailbox contains confidential messages, you might want to mark such message as private after content migration.
Simply copy all files to a folder location where you are allowed to execute it and the Exchange servers are reachable.
- Exchange Server 2013/2016 (Tested with CU15, maybe it will work with Exchange 2007/2010 as well)
- Application Impersonation Rights if you want to change items on other mailboxes than yours
- Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll, log4net.dll (are provided in the repository and also in the binaries)
SetPrivateFlags.exe -mailbox user@domain.com -subject "[private]"
Search the mailbox of user@domain.com for all message containing [private] in the subject text and ask for changing each item
SetPrivateFlags.exe -mailbox user@domain.com -subject "[private]" -noconfirmation
Search the mailbox of user@domain.com for all message containing [private] in the subject text and all items are altered without asking for confirmation
- mandatory: -mailbox user@domain.com
Mailbox which you want to alter
- optional: -logonly
Items will only be logged
- optional: -noconfirmation
Messages will be set to normal without confirmation
- optional: -ignorecertificate
Ignore certificate errors. Interesting if you connect to a lab config with self signed certificate
- optional: -impersonate
If you want to alter a other mailbox than yours set this parameter
- optional: -user user@domain.com
If set together with -password this credentials would be used. Elsewhere the credentials from your session will be used
- optional: -password "Pa$$w0rd"
- optional: -url "https://server/EWS/Exchange.asmx"
If you set an specific URL this URL will be used instead of autodiscover. Should be used with -ignorecertificate if your CN is not in the certficate
- optional: -allowredirection
If your autodiscover redirects you the default behaviour is to quit the connection. With this parameter you will be connected anyhow
