Exchange 2010: How to create a new mailbox enabled user in a specific OU
Hello,
we are using Exchange 2010 in a Windows 2008 R2 domain.
How can I create a new user in a specific OU (eventually with all needed distribution/security groups) with a mailbox via powershell?
When moving the user after creation from the default OU "users" to the specific OU, the default e-mail-addresspolicies is used, which we don't need.

Hi,
U can use:
$password = Read-Host "Enter password" -AsSecureString;
New-Mailbox -UserPrincipalName user@domain.com -PrimarySmtpAddress user@domain.com -Alias chris -Database "Mailbox Database 1" -Name ChrisAshton -OrganizationalUnit "YourDomain.com/OU" -Password $password -FirstName Chris -LastName Ashton -DisplayName "Chris Ashton" -ResetPasswordOnNextLogon $True
Plz have a look into:

Offcourse u can bulk create mailboxes using powershell and csv file combination.
