<# ============================================================================================= Name: Audit Shared Mailbox Activities Using PowerShell Version: 1.0 Website: o365reports.com Script Highlights: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. The script retrieves audit log for the last 180 days by default. 2. Helps to generate audit reports for custom periods. 3. Tracks activities from a specific shared mailbox. 4. Exports shared mailbox activities performed by admins and delegated users. 5. Exports report results to CSV file. 6. The script can be executed with an MFA-enabled account too. 7. Supports Certificate-based Authentication too. 8. Automatically installs the EXO Module (if not installed already) upon your confirmation. 9. The script is scheduler friendly.
