Exchange 365 Mailbox Issue

Good Morning Experts,

Hoping you can help me.

I am a newly Exchange 365 admin. I am/have been an exchange administrator in the past.

I attempted to give myself full access to all mailboxes in my organization through a power shell command. This went through successfully but in doing this, I also added all of my oganizations mailboxes to my outlook. I worked with Microsoft on this and they couldn't figure this out either.

I would prefer to remove the full access (only add it when I need it) and remove the mapping from my mailbox so I can use outlook again. This does not happen in owa.

Here is the command I ran:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox')} | Ad
d-MailboxPermission -User myemail@.com -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType all

I also tried to reverse it with this:
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity JeroenC -User 'myusername' -AccessRight FullAccess -InheritanceType All -Automapping $false

Hope this made sense and thank you,

Karen

Shouldn't that second command be Remove-MailboxPermission? May be a ForEach .. Next loop for each mailbox to remove permissions be better?

This worked wonderful, thank you so much. The person I got at Microsoft confirmed I needed the automapped;false command but I discovered was googling and gave me what I posted. When swapping out the name, the mailboxes were still present in my outlook. They appear to be gone now, thank you so much!
