Exchange Powershell Script for Setting Default Language

[deano]

Hi,

 

Need to set default language for only student users using powershell. I have used the script to set individually and this works but need to do on mass for about 1300 users.

Hi

 

Set default language for what?

Is this for Outlook Web App, Live@Edu or something else?

 

Depending upon what you are trying to do you may be able to modify one of the scripts below.

 

Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit "OU=students,DC=server1,DC=school,DC=net" -ResultSize unlimited | Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Language en-GB -TimeZone "GMT Standard Time"

 

'Reading Mailboxes...'
$boxes = Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit Students -ResultSize unlimited

'Setting Mailboxes...'
foreach ($box in $boxes)
 {
 $box
 $box | Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Language en-GB -TimeZone "GMT Standard Time"
 }
$boxes | Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration | Format-Table

'Done.'
