Hi, The below will mailboxenable any user that doesn't have a mailbox in the OU Finance Users. Get-User -OrganizationalUnit "domain.com/Departments/Finance Users" -RecipientTypeDetails User | Enable-Mailbox Martina Miskovic

If you want to enable mailbox for user in one OU, you can just follow Martina's suggestion to do that.

there is a sub OU with generic accounts under this OU... is there a way to use the above CMD line and EXCLUDE any SUB OU's?Twitter: @dguilloryjr LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/dannyjr Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/dguilloryjr

You can add one filter for OU in that command to achieve the goal. Here is an example for you, hope can give you some help: OrganizationalUnit: Test Sub OrganizationalUnit: cTest, sTest Get-User -OrganizationalUnit "domain.com/Test" -RecipientTypeDetails User| where{$_.OrganizationalUnit -eq "domain.com/Test"}| enable-mailbox This way it will enable-mailbox for users in OU Test, exclude the users in cTest and sTest.

Mike Pfeiffer has written some very good information written about that. Check Out: Creating Scheduled Tasks for Exchange 2010 PowerShell Scripts Martina Miskovic

If you need this ran every 12 hours, you can use Scheduled Task. Thanks, Evan Liu TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com Evan Liu TechNet Community Support
