HOTSPOT
You need to recommend a solution to audit the issue of User1.
Which command should you recommend? (To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.)
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Scenario: A user named User1 reports that email messages are being sent from her mailbox without her consent.
For mailboxes in your organization that you wish to enable audit logging on you can do so using the Set-Mailbox cmdlet.
* The AuditDelegate parameter specifies the operations to log for delegate users. Valid values include:
None Update Move MoveToDeletedItems SoftDelete HardDelete FolderBind SendAs SendOnBehalf
* Send As
This permission allows delegates to use the mailbox to send messages. After this permission is assigned to a delegate, any message that the delegate sends from the mailbox will appear to have been sent by the mailbox owner.
Incorrect:
* Send on Behalf
This permission also allows a delegate to use the mailbox to send messages. After this permission is assigned to a delegate, the From address in any message sent by the delegate indicates that the message was sent by the delegate on behalf of the mailbox owner.
* The AuditEnabled parameter specifies whether to enable or disable mailbox audit logging.
If auditing is enabled, actions specified in the AuditAdmin, AuditDelegate, and AuditOwner parameters are logged. Valid values include:
$true
Mailbox audit logging is enabled.
$false
Mailbox audit logging is disabled.
The default value is $false.

- B. On all of the Client Access servers, run the Get-ExchangeServer cmdlet.
- C. On one of the Client Access servers, run the New-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet and specify the PrivateKeyExportable parameter.
