We've create the following shell script that reads in from a .csv file and creates Mail Contacts based on that file. Import-CSV CreateRecipients.csv | foreach {New-MailContact -Name $_.name -ExternalEmailAddress $_.ExternalEmailAddress -org "OU=Students,DC=xavier,DC=local"} This works great but it's only step 1 of a 2 step process for us. Step 2 involves setting up forwarding on existing mailbox-enabled users to point to this newly created custom recipient. To accomplish that, we've come up with the following script... that doesn't work. Import-CSV ForwardRecipients.csv | foreach {set-Mailbox -SamAccountName $_.name -ForwardingAddress $_.ForwardingAddress} Now, we're shocked that we got step 1 to work at all so we're not the least surprised that we've fallen flat on step 2. Assuming that the .CSV file we're importing from in step 2 contains two columns, one with the username and one with the forwarding address (which was already set in step 1 on a mail contact) can anyone offer some advice to fix our script or rewrite it to accomplish our goal? Thanks.

The syntax inside the ForEach loop appears to be wrong. From the command line you could do it like this: (Felicia is my dog, and she does not have an account on Apple Mobile Me.) [PS] C:\>Get-Mailbox -Identity felicia | Set-Mailbox -ForwardingAddress 'felicia@me.com' [PS] [PS] C:\>Get-Mailbox felicia | List SamAccountName, ForwardingAddress SamAccountName : felicia ForwardingAddress : smith.local/MyBusiness/Users/SBSUsers/Felicia Smith (Contact) [PS] C:\> Thus your Import-Csv Loop should look like this: Import-CSV ForwardRecipients.csv | ForEach {Get-Mailbox -SamAccountName $_.name | Set-Mailbox -ForwardingAddress $_.ForwardingAddress} I have only tested and confirmed the command line procedure above, not the Import-CSV, but it should work … (?)MCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M | Small Business Specialist
