Creating Exchange Mailbox for Linked A/cs

[bodminman]

Hi there,

I've been asked to create x20 ICTEXAM accounts that need MS Office access and an email address.

 

I have created the accounts on the RM CC3 system and have also created the Linked A/c's on the Admin domain where Exchange 2010 lives.

 

I have:

created a AD group for the accounts and added the members

created a Mailbox DB on Exchange mounted the DB

Set some restrictions for the DB

 

But when I try the following command to try and get Exchange creating mail a/cs for the linked users:

$creds = get-credential (credentials of admin user in the pupil domain)

 

$Users = get-user -Filter {(MemberOfGroup -eq 'cn=ICT Exam Grp1,OU=KHS Groups,DC=khs-admin,DC=internal')}

(gets all disabled users in domain that need to be enabled)

 

foreach ($User in $Users) {

$userIdentity = $User.Identity

$userUsername = 'DOMAIN_REMOVED\' + $User.SamAccountName

$userRecpType = $User.RecipientType

 

if ($userRecpType -eq "User") {

Enable-Mailbox -Identity $userIdentity -Database 'KHS-EX-01\ICT Exam Mailbox Database' -LinkedMasterAccount

$userUsername -LinkedDomainController 'KHS-SR-001' -LinkedCredential $creds

}

}

 

I get the following error:

 

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>$creds = get-credential (credentials of admin user in the pupil domain)

er... I think theres something wrong with ur error message ;)

[bodminman]

What do you mean?

[tarquel]

hehe I mean you've got explainations in the script i.e.:

 

$creds = get-credential (credentials of admin user in the pupil domain)

 

and have following it given us the output of the script that still has those explainations in it:

 

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>$creds = get-credential (credentials of admin user in the pupil domain)

The term 'credentials' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

LOL - Cheers

 

Removed the explanations but still have an error:

 

You must provide a value expression on the right-hand side of the '-' operator.

Can you update your first post with what you have in the script now? and the resultant output too?
