Let me start off by saying i am not well versed with powershell.
We have a document management system that put an "@" sign at the end of folders being profiled. We have thousands of these under each users mailbox. I need to come up with a solution that will recursively search all mailboxes
and remove this symbol. I have been testing with my own account but using the "#" sign since i still need the @ sign until we fully migrate of the old document management system.
I have cobbled this together and can find the folder in my mailbox, but can't seem to find a set of commands to remove it.
Below are the commands I run to get my mailbox and search for any folder with a ‘#’ sign.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>$s=get-mailbox -identity "wklaus"
Creating a new session for implicit remoting of "Get-Mailbox" command...
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>$s |Select-Object alias | foreach-object {Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $_.alias |where
-object {$_.name -like "*#*"}| select-object Identity, ItemsInFolder, FolderSize}
Identity
ItemsInFolder FolderSize

I can find the mailbox with the character, but I can’t seem to find the right powershell command to remove or replace it. I’ve tried
$s|if ($_.name -Match '#') {$_.name = ($_.name -replace "#","")}
I’ve tried adding this into the main command but mostly end up with errors.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>$s |Select-Object alias | foreach-object {Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $_.alias |where
-object {$_.name -like "*#*"}| If ($_.Name -Match '#' ) {$_.Name = ($_.name -replace "#","")}
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
