Exchange 2010

Morning,

 

I just want to check my logic before I break stuff. All my new year 7s have the wrong alias on their exchange mailbox, so consequently have the wrong email address. They've done the default firstnamesurname@..... I'd like them all to be the username. I'm going to do this in PowerShell;

 

$mailboxes=get-mailbox -OrganizationalUnit "Intake 16"

foreach($mailbox in $mailboxes) {set-mailbox -id $mailbox -alias $mailbox.samaccountname}

 

 

That's correct isn't it?

 

Thank you

 

Stuart

Anyone please?

Maybe set an Email address policy for future use as well might be worthit.

I have done now I've realised my predecessor hadn't! I just wanted to make sure my powershell commands were correct for just changing the ones I want to change.

 

Thank you

I think you can just just a policy to update your existing ones rather than using a power shell script

I couldn't see how to do it to be the same as the username. If you can, then that would be great.

This Works for us

 

Are your alias the same as your usernames?

No, that's the problem I'm trying to sort with Powershell. That should change the alias to be the same as the username, I can then apply a policy as you've pictured. I just want to make sure I'm correct that my commands will only do the ones I want, and not everyone in Exchange.

Aha! that make sense. Would have helped if I read your first post correctly.
