Adding Customized Email Addresses On Bulk Users
I had a chance to work on a support case where the requirement was to added Customized email address on bulk users, Make them as primary smtp address and keep the original smtp address as secondary
Eg: FirstName.LastName.Custom@Domain.Com
Using Email Address Policies we cannot add "Custom" as a word however we can do it manually on a single users by going into Exchange management Console , Select the user, go to properties, E-Mail Addresses tab and add it.
How can we do it in bulk ?
Step 1
Create a CSV file and name it as EmailAddress.Csv with two columns:
LoginName, SecondaryAddress
I.e:
LoginName, SecondaryAddress
TestUser, TestUser.Custom@Domain.Com
Step 2
Run the below command to start importing the Csv file
Import-Csv EmailAddress.Csv | Foreach-Object{
$user = Get-Mailbox -Identity $_.LoginName
$user.EmailAddresses+=$_.SecondaryAddress
Set-Mailbox $user -EmailAddresses $user.EmailAddresses
Set-Mailbox $user –EmailAddressPolicyEnabled:$False
Set-Mailbox $user –PrimarySMTPAddress $_.SecondaryAddress
}
So what does the command do
- Add's the email address TestUser.Custom@Domain.Com as secondary address.
- Disable "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on recipient policy" for the users listed in Csv file
- Set's the primary smtp address to secondary.
Note: Please test the commands in your Lab and the perform the task in production.
Special Thanks to Ravi Nagaraja in helping me with the commands.
