How to Mass Create Mailboxes for Existing Users

[wirk]

with PowerShell to use with Exchange 2010 /Server 2008 R2.

Anybody have luck with this ?

Thanks in advance.

You'd have to do a Get-User and then pipe that to New-Mailbox. The issue is defining a Get-User statement that gets just the users you want. Are they all in one OU?

Got It:

import-csv "C:\Scripts\enableBULKMailboxUsersEX2010.csv" | foreach {enable-MailBox -identity $_.identity -PrimarySmtpAddress $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -Alias $_.Alias -Database $_.Database}

You don't need to use the CSV.

I hope that helps.

I've used your script with Exchange 2007, but it
does not work with Exchange 2010.

What error do you get? You don't need to specify the server\database. Just the database.

Thank you both for your support.

Unfortunately since the 26th of August, I do not have access to my test Exchange 2010 Server.

Don’t remember the errors. I know about the database, but the 2007 scripts did not work for me.

I take it they worked for both of you.

Thanks again.

In looking at Mark's link, I don't see why that wouldn't work except for maybe the server name. But without seeing the error, I can't help any further.
