Hello

Please i need your help on this issue.

We added two domains to our tenant. Is it possible to add new aliases in bulk to ALL mailboxes using these two new domains? I know how to do it one by one, but this would take too much time. See below the article I am referring to.

    hi,@IniobongNkanga-8038

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    If you don't want to manually add a new domain name alias for each user, we recommend that you use the Exchange Online PowerShell script.

    1.Connect to Exchange Online

    Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName youradmin@yourdomain.com

    2.Get all user mailboxes:

    $mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited

    3.Loop through each mailbox and add the new aliases:

     foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes)

     {

    $newAlias1 = $mailbox.Alias + '@newdomain1.com'

    $newAlias2 = $mailbox.Alias + '@newdomain2.com'

    Set-Mailbox -Identity $mailbox.Identity -EmailAddresses @{add=$newAlias1,$newAlias2}

    }

     Below is my test, I only make changes to two users.

    User's image

    Checked the user and found that the alias had been added

    User's image
