Create mailboxes for existing users

[markdmac]

I thought others might benefit from this as well. The following script will query AD for users and create mailboxes for them in Exchange 2007.

get-user | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq "User"} | Enable-Mailbox –Database "servername\Mailbox Database" | get-mailbox | select name,windowsemailaddress,database

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark is it possible to add

Add-MailboxPermission "user" –User "ME" –AccessRights: FullAccess

to your existing code

get-user –organizationalUnit some OU | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq "User"} | Enable-Mailbox –Database "server\store" | get-mailbox | select name,windowsemailaddress,database

I am sure it can be done, however I am still learning the ins and outs of PowerShell, so not sure how you would pipe it.

I hope you find this post helpful.

I have such a script for vbscript but not PowerShell.

You will need a script that reads a text file of Excel spreadsheet for user details.

I hope you find this post helpful.
