bulk create mailboxes for existing AD users Exchange 2013 Powershell!

[chazzy2501]

So first intake with the new exchange server, unlike the old 2007 I can't bulk select 117 users and click create mailbox. Now I have to use the superior powershell method! or do it 1 at a time

 

Enable-Mailbox [email protected] -Database "Mailbox Database 0768102315"

This command works great is simple and clear! Now how to use it with the other 116 pupils? I'm thinking I need to tell it to look at a csv how do I do this.

 

I think that the CSV only needs the upn in it.

 

Examples on line seem to include unnecessary details in the CSV and use them in the script?

 

 

 

 

SIDENOTE: This is the first step I'll migrate to o365 later.

 

(if I give the pupils emails from within o365, although they work the local exchange server is unaware of them, I worry what that may mean in the future.) Hybrid.

Get-User -OrganizationalUnit "DCC-SCH-4505.local/Learning Gateway/Managed Pupils (7)/test" | Enable-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database 0768102315"

 

well, that was easy (when you know how) just make sure no users already has an email address.
