<# ============================================================================================= Name: Find who sent email from shared mailbox Description: This script finds who sent emails from shared mailbox Version: 3.0 Website: o365reports.com Change Log ~~~~~~~~~~ V1 (11/5/22) - Initial version V2 (9/28/23) - Minor changes V2 (9/18/24) - Added support for certificate-based authentication and extended audit log retrieval perid from 90 to 180 days Script Highlights: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1.Helps to generate audit reports for custom periods. 2.Tracks email sent activities from a specific shared mailbox. 3.Allows to audit send as activities separately. 4.Allows to track send on behalf activities separately. The script uses modern authentication to retrieve audit logs. 5.Exports report results to CSV file. 6.Automatically installs the EXO module (if not installed already) upon your confirmation. 7.The script can be executed with an MFA-enabled account too. 8.Supports Certificate-based Authentication (CBA) too 9.The script is scheduler-friendly.
