exchange 2013 ecp select OU for new mailboxes

[chrisjako]

We just made the plunge over to exchange 2013 and first impressions are good, however in EMC for 2010 we had an option to select new mailboxes to search from users in a specific OU (so that we didn't get bombarded with the SLG accounts)

 

I cant see anyway of doing this in ECP 2013, when you click on mailboxes, + new, existing users - there is no way to select an OU

 

whats worse is that the search is limited with its results so I cant even sort by OU and then bulk add

 

Anyone else having this issue?

For us, bulk adding is done via Powershell only (we've built a simple GUI to run the scripts themselves to help) but if you're single adding users, the only OU choice you get is via the right-hand column in the list.

Do you have a link to Powershell bulk import command? We have just moved over to Exchange 2013 and are in the same boat with the BS new web admin centre...

 

Or if we could pinch your GUI that would be splendid!

FYI: Get-User -OrganizationalUnit "domain.com/FULL/OU/PATH" | Enable-Mailbox -Database DatabaseName

bear in mind if you point it at a "root" OU it it automatically tree down through all of them enabling mailboxes

whats the commandlet to add an option for archive too?
