I recently had to come up with a script to check a particular shared mailbox to see if there were any messages greater than 2 hours old. The following Power shell script was my prototype.
cls
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# Setup credentials
# ------------------------------------------------------------
$servername = "ex02"
$objUserCredentials = new-object System.Net.NetworkCredential("AndrewJames57", "password1#", "Solidsoft")
$dateNow = get-date
$dateNow.ToString()
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# Setup Soap Request
# ------------------------------------------------------------
$requestSoapMessage = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>" `
+ "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=`"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/`" " `
