How to Mass Create Mailboxes for Existing Users

markdmac's Managing Exchange 2007 With PowerShell Scripts

By Mark D. MacLachlan, The Spiders Parlor

The following PowerShell script will query AD for users and create mailboxes for them in Exchange 2007. Just replace the servername portion in [red]red[/red] with your Exchange server's name. If you changed the store name from the default, edit the part in [blue]blue[/blue] too.

Code: 
get-user | where-object{$_.RecipientType ûeq "User"} | Enable-Mailbox ûDatabase "[red]servername[/red]\[blue]Mailbox Database[/blue]" | get-mailbox | select name,windowsemailaddress,database

If you would like to target a specific OU instead of traversing the entire AD tree, you can do so by specifying the OU name. Note the OU name is in [green]green[/green] below.

Code: 
get-user ûorganizationalUnit [green]Accounting[/green] | where-object{$_.RecipientType ûeq "User"} | Enable-Mailbox ûDatabase "[red]servername[/red]\[blue]Mailbox Database[/blue]" | get-mailbox | select name,windowsemailaddress,database
