VBScript; List Exchange Mailbox DACL / ACE / ACL

The below VBScript will return all user mailboxes on your environment and display the DACL for the mailbox. This helps to easily identify custom ACEs during an Exchange migration enabling you to pre-configure permissions in your target environment. The script is useful in identifying groups of users that work together and thus need access to each others mailboxes.

The script will create an Excel file, although I have stopped the script form closing the Excel file as this will cause issues in the event of you running Office versons earlier than 2003.
