I'm using Exchange 2007, and I was wondering if there was a way to read an attribute and set it to a variable. For example, if I wanted to read the default email address from a specific email address policy, and set it to a variable, how would I do that? Thanks.

Hi Dan, Yes you can. Here is an example $temp = Get-Mailbox "User1" This one will save all the properties of User1 into variable $temp and you can get various properties by using .[PropertyName] $temp.PirmarySMTPAddress But this will be in different format (not as astring) so if you want to save the result in another variable as a string then you can run do it like this [string]$s = $temp.PirmarySMTPAddress $s This will save the value of PrimarySMTPAddress as a string in $s variable. Please let me know if you have any specific query and you can refer below guide about EMS.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
