.NET Framework - adding smtp address for all users containing the employeeID field

Asked By Steven V

Hi All,

I need a PS Scipt that scans my AD for users with the EmployeeID filled out
and that uses the number within that field to set a secondairy SMTP address
as in: "<EmployeeID>@somedomain.com"

Scrounging for bits and pieces on this and other forums I came up with:

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {employeeID -eq "<number>"} |
foreach {
$user = get-user $_
$email = "{0}@somedomain.com" -f $user.employeeID
$_.EmailAddresses+= $email
$_
} | Set-Mailbox

(I know, it should not be "-eq", it should be something else ...)
btw: I am running AD 2003 R2 and Exchange 2007 sp1 and completely new to
Powershell.

Thanks in advance for any tips and tricks!

Best regards,
Steven

Something like this should work. it is a bit silly, but it is easier to
add e-mail addresses using ADSI unless I am missing something glaringly
obvious about Set-Mailbox.


Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {employeeID -eq "<number>"} | %{
$User = Get-User $_
$NewSmtp = "{0}@somedomain.com" -f $User.employeeID

$TestForAddress = $_.EmailAddresses | ?{ $_.SmtpAddress -Like $NewSmtp }

If ($TestForAddress -eq $Null)
{
$User = [ADSI]"LDAP://$($_.DistinguishedName)"
$User.PutEx(3, "proxyAddresses", @("smtp:$NewSmtp"))
$User.SetInfo()
}
}
