We are on a hostted enviroment and we will be bringing Exhange 2010 in house. I need to know via EMS how to create accounts for ALL users. I am not looking to do this by OU as this will take a long time. I need to do it for the whole organization. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Here is the command you can use to create mailbox for all users in the domain, get-user | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User”} | Enable-Mailbox If you would like to create maibox for Sales Department,you can use the command below: get-user | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User” -and $_.department –eq “Sales”} | Enable-Mailbox Also, the property of the mailbox such as Database, DisplayName, you can have a view on Enable-Mailbox http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998251.aspx Cheers Zi Feng

Thanks for the response. I am aware of that command but I have alot of OU's. Isn't there a way to do it globally instead of having to do each OU? Thanks

The Get-User will get all the users and not just from some particular OU. In Above command there is nowhere OU filter specified.Jasjit Singh Dhindsa | ITIL v3 | IASA Foundation Certified | MCITP: EMA 2010/2007 | MCTS: MES 2010/2007, OCS 2007 | MCSA: M+S | MCSE: M+S

So I would just do: get-user | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User” | Enable Mailbox

So I would just do: get-user | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User” | Enable Mailbox Yes thats correct.
