is there a way I can update the custom attribute to 500 account all at once, via PowerShell?

There are multiple ways using powershell or you can always use admodify and use the custom tab and enter your custom attribute.

Hello, do you want to change the attribute for all your users? Then you can perform this command: Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute1 ... You can also set CustomAttribute2, CustomAttribute3 etc. Greetings, Toni

If you have all your users in a CSV file with a header of User, for example, just run the following: Import-Csv C:\users.csv | ForEach {Set-Mailbox $_.User -CustomAttribute1 "Sales users"} Or if your CSV has multiple columns like User and Department, we can use that to set the CustomAttribute that you want: Import-Csv C:\users.csv | ForEach {Set-Mailbox $_.User -CustomAttribute1 $_.Department} http://LetsExchange.blogspot.com
