Can I provide a better (automatically) solution which is build into Exchange? Since Exchange 2013/2016 Microsoft added the EasMaxInactivityForDeviceCleanup value to the throttling policy and described it here as:

The EasMaxInactivityForDeviceCleanup parameter specifies the length of
time that a user's device partnerships will remain active. By default,
there is no limit to the number of days that a user's device
partnerships will remain active. Use this value if you want to
minimize the amount of inactive device partnerships in your
organization. To use this setting, specify a value in days since the
user's last sync time to cause the device partnership to be removed.

So if I would be you, I would create a new throttling policy as explained here and assign that to your users. After that is in place and if a user is adding a new device, the Exchange server will check the configured devices and will automatically delete the unused one, during the adding from the new device. Then you do not need to run a script, the server will mostly take care of them automatically.

  Thank you for that solution, which will be great going forward, but what about the devices there now? I'd like to get this script working to purge them. EDIT: It says this cmdlet is only available on Ex2016, we are using 2013.

  I personally would wait as you said you are a new to powershell. I personally wouldn´t risk to delete any administration/monitoring devices if you haven´t the needed skills yet. The point is, how often did the user get new "toys" to play with? I would wait here. But if you really need a script you can check the one in the URL above (or here is it again).

  Its policy from management. Its currently done manually by hand by logging into each user's mailbox. I'm just trying to automate the process. The problem with the script in your URL is when I try to add exporting the results to CSV it fails.
