Powershell script to check for stopped "Automatically started" services for multiple servers

The powershell script below checks for services that are automatically started when the system starts.
If a service is found stopped, the scripts starts the service and sends a notification email to an admin or a group.

Multiple servers are supported, and services that stop automatically because they have no need to run al the time (software protection for instance) are filtered out.

Modify the following to adjust for your environment:

• The service name you want to exclude
• The server array server names
• The email receipients
• The smtp server

The script:

How to delete an activesync partnership

Over time users buy new phones, add tablets or Windows 8 mail apps to their corporate mail.
This clutters the ActiveSync partnership as only 10 devices are max supported.

This shows how to delete the unwanted ActiveSync partnership(s).

Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics –Mailbox alias | Format-Table DeviceID, DeviceType, DeviceOS

Output:

DeviceID                          DeviceType    DeviceOS
--------                          ----------    --------
Appl82XXXXT6A4S                   iPhone        iOS 6.1.3 10B329

XXXX6F8CDBB2D75B3C32898543996CAB  WP8           Windows Phone 8.0.10211

Delete the Windows 8 Phone:

Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox alias | ? {$_.DeviceOS -match "windows phone 8.0.10211"} | Remove-ActiveSyncDevice

Set mailboxes to usedatabasequotadefaults for multiple users

Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | where {$_.usedatabasequotadefaults -ne $true} | fl alias | out-file "d:\temp\users.csv"

Edit the csv file so that there are no empty lines and and empty spaces after the users alias.
Must look something like this:

alias
alias1
alias2
alias3
alias4

Import-Csv "d:\temp\users.csv" | foreach {Set-Mailbox -identity $_.alias -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $true}

Check to see the result;
import-csv "d:\temp\users.csv" | foreach {Get-Mailbox -identity $_.alias} | fl usedatabasequotadefaults,alias
