Create Mail Contact with PS, Company and Department Attributes Error

[ncotton]

Hi all,
I'm looking for some help with a PS script I'm using to import users from CSV.

Import-Csv "C:\PSScripts\MailContact.csv" | ForEach-Object { New-MailContact -Name $_.Name -ExternalEmailAddress $_.Email -FirstName $_.FirstName -LastName $_.LastName -Company $_.Company -Department $_.Department -OrganizationalUnit "domain/Contacts" -Alias $_.Alias }

The script works fine if I remote the company and department aspects.

I get the error

A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-Company'.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: ) [New-MailContact], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,New-MailContact

The breakdown of the CSV is fine.

When I try and add the details manually, then Get-MailContact, I still don't see any parameters for company, department, job title etc. This must be possible somehow.

Please help, it's driving me mad.

Much appreciated.
Neil

Those properties are for aduser, not mailbox, so you'd want to fire an additional procedure after the mailbox creation to add those attributes to the aduser. You'll see them if you do a get-aduser | fl
