Hello, Under Exchange 2007 I run the below shell command to set the custom attribute 2 to exchange Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "EXCHANGE" I need to apply that command to all mailbox except those in the below OU « company.intra/company/Old/Users/ » and « uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users » Is there any possibility to combine those exceptions with the above shell command?? Thanks to all in advance for your input. Graig

One way: Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |? {$_.distinguishedname -notmatch "ou=users,ou=old,ou=company|ou=oldusers,ou=main"} | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "EXCHANGE"

Another way: Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |? { $_.organizationalunit -ne "company.intra/company/Old/Users" -and $_.organizationalunit -ne "uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users "} | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "EXCHANGE"

Hello mjolinor, I am sorry. In fact I run that command: Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | where {$_.CustomAttribute2 -like ""} | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "EXCHANGE" And I would need to REMOVE the CustomAttribute2 which is "EXCHANGE" for the 2 below OU : « company.intra/company/Old/Users/ » and « uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users » Sorry about that I got confused myself.. Can you help me out with that one then? Thanks for your prior input (It will help me for some other stuff :-D) Graig

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -organizationalunit "company.intra/company/Old/Users" | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "" Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -organizationalunit "uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users" | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 ""

Thanks mjolinor, Do you know any way to combine the 3 commands?? Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | where {$_.CustomAttribute2 -like ""} | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "EXCHANGE" Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -organizationalunit "company.intra/company/Old/Users" | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "" Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -organizationalunit "uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users" | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "" Because I need to activate that CustomAttribute2for any user and remove that CustomAttribute2 for users in the two OUs I gave.

get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited |%{ if ($_.organizationalunit -eq "uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users" -or $_.organizationalunit -eq "company.intra/company/Old/Users") {set-mailbox $_ -CustomAttribute2 ""} else {Set-Mailbox $_ -CustomAttribute2 "Exchange"} }

Thanks Mjolonor it worked perfectly well. Just last thing, I wanna use the CustomAttribute10 for the user's country based on a specific organizationalunit : I wrote why I though it would work but I do not have a test environnement, so could you please tell me if the command I wrote is correct? get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited |%{ if ($_.organizationalunit -eq "uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users" -or $_.organizationalunit -eq "company.intra/company/Old/Users") {set-mailbox $_ -CustomAttribute10 ""} else {$_.organizationalunit -eq "company.intra/Barcelona*" Set-Mailbox $_ -CustomAttribute10 "BARCELONA"}}

I have put -like because u used * in the end of OU name. Also Your script will only deal with 3 OUs and it wont do anything to any other mailbox excetp those 3 mentioned OUs. IF this is what you want then its ok. Regards, Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com

There's a couple of things I think you'll need to change. You need to use an if or elseif on the Barcelona bit, and -eq is an exact match operator (it doesn't understand wildcards), so you'll want to use the -like operator instead. get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited |%{ if ($_.organizationalunit -eq "uk.company.intra/Main/Old Users" -or $_.organizationalunit -eq "company.intra/company/Old/Users") {set-mailbox $_ -CustomAttribute10 ""} elseif ($_.organizationalunit -like "company.intra/Barcelona*"){ Set-Mailbox $_ -CustomAttribute10 "BARCELONA"} }
