attribute editor

Question

I have a few users for whom I need to add proxy addresses in Active Directory.

For example, under the Attribute Editor tab in Active Directory, the proxyAddresses attribute is present for User1 (******@myorg.abc). I want to add an additional proxy address, such as @myorg.abc (i.e., smtp:@myorg.abc).Please guide me on how to achieve this using PowerShell, as manually updating the Attribute Editor is time-consuming.

Hi Roger Roger,

You can use the Set-ADUser to modify attributes of an Active Directory user. To add an additional proxy address, you can run the following command

Set-ADUser -Identity user1 -Add @{ProxyAddresses="smtp:******@myorg.abc"}
