Recently we stumbled across some issues, while migrating mailboxes to Exchange Online. Not sure whether the kind of RecipientTypeDetails matters, but we see that permissions for mailboxes get completely stripped off. Of course this causes major trouble as users won’t be able accessing the mailbox.
We currently have a case open and trying to identify the root cause, but for now we are trying to avoid invalid entries as it seems to be related to.

This issue might be rarely, but you can run into even your environment is not large and even you followed the Preferred Architecture (PA) for Exchange and used the calculator. If you have this issue, it can have serious and unforeseen consequences and impact your setup.

Thus it’s on us to prove everything is okay and therefore I wrote a simple script for testing several scenarios in an easy way to make sure everything is configured correctly and you’re able to retrieve tokens.
