Adding a forwarding address with PowerShell is simple and straightforward, but how can I remove a forwarding address? Can I remove a forwarding address using PowerShell? We have to remove the forwarding address from several hundred mailboxes during a migration and would much rather not do it one at a time in the console. Thanks

Hi TPBrennan, This will remove all forwarders... Get-Mailbox | Where {$_.ForwardingAddress -ne $null} | Set-Mailbox -ForwardingAddress $null -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false If you have list of users in text file then check the comment in my article below... FAQ: Find all users with Forwarding Address isset http://exchangeshare.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/faq-find-all-users-with-forwarding-address-is-set/

Thanks for your time and response.

Hi-I am new to powershell...and looking to set the forwarding for like a hundreds of users... I noticed this forum..that there is an easy cmdlet for it? If so can anyone help? Thanks.

Amit, This command is exactly what we are looking for to remove the email forwarders that we currently have in place. Is there a way to just apply it to a group of users under a OU and not all accounts? Thanks, -Phil

Amit, This command is exactly what we are looking for to remove the email forwarders that we currently have in place. Is there a way to just apply it to a group of users under a OU and not all accounts? Thanks, -Phil Yes, u will have to mention correct OU for get-mailbox command like this Get-Mailbox -organizationalUnit "Yourdomain.com\yourOU" -ResultSize Unlimited | Where {$_.ForwardingAddress -ne $null} | Set-Mailbox -ForwardingAddress $null -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $false Regards, Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com
