I would like to set up a quick and easy script for creating a Shared Mailbox.

I am using ISE since it will provide the pop-up boxes for the Admins that are not familiar with Powershell.


$FullName = Read-Host "What is the Display Name for the Mailbox?"
$Email = Read-Host "What is the Email Address? Name@Company.com"
$UPN = Read-Host "User Principal Name Name@Corp.Company.ad"

New-Mailbox -Name $FullName -Alias $FullName -Shared -OrganizationalUnit 'corp.vha.ad/Users' -PrimarySmtpAddress $Email -RetentionPolicy 'Default Retention Policy' -UserPrincipalName $UPN -SamAccountName $FullName -FirstName $FullName -Database 'DB2' -whatif


$UPN,,, I would like to be able to just type the UserID here rather than the full UserID@Corp.Company.ad

So something like -UserPrincipalName $UPN@Corp.Company.ad

Is there a way to append $UPN to @Corp.Company.ad ??

We have multiple email addresses in use to that is not a static answer.

No problem, you can concatenate two strings: http://www.vistax64.com/powershell/225548-concatenate-text-string-text-variable-no-space-between.html

Thanks Jetze

Claus sorted it out for me. Simple double quote is all I was missing. I am working on creating a GUI for it now.


$UPN = Read-Host "User Principal Name"
New-Mailbox -Name $FullName -Alias $FullName -Shared -OrganizationalUnit 'Corp.Company.AD/Users' -PrimarySmtpAddress $Email -RetentionPolicy 'Default Retention Policy' -UserPrincipalName "$UPN@corp.company.ad" -SamAccountName $FullName -FirstName $FullName -Database 'DB2' -whatif

The 2012 version of Primalscript has been rebranded to "Powershell Studio 2012", so remember to get that if you are going to get it..

Just a clarification:

PrimalForms was renamed to PowerShell Studio, not PrimalScript. PowerShell Studio is the product that allows you to create GUIs in PowerShell.

Thank you,

David

Thank you for correcting me David, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote it.
