. Hi Paul I am in this situation - after some acquisitions we are standardizing on one @domain and want to do a first.last but the givenName is controlled by HR and isn't always suitable for the addresses. I could populate an extensionAttribute with the desired prefix, like "preferred-first.initial.last" but don't know how to specify that as the email address format. Is it even possible? Thanks for all the years of help this site has provided! Jim

Hi Paul, I am a big fan of yours. I require a help with the script to capture all the x500 proxy addresses of mail contacts from a specific OU and then write it back to the mail contacts on a different OU.

Hi Paul
Really like the format you have used and the explanations along the way.
Hoping you can help me with a very similar issue to what you have presented.
What I am trying to do is very similar but with one big difference, I’m trying to add an additional email address to a Mail Enabled AD Security Group (DistributionGroup). What I need to do is as follows –

1. add additional email address to mail enabled Security Group (eg. ???@abcd.net.co)
2. disable the ’email address policy’
3. make the new email address the primary SMTP address (change primary SMTP from ???@xyz.com.au to ???@abcd.net.co)

Would really appreciate any assistance you can provide.

You can adapt this script to suit your needs.

Hi,

I am very new to scripting.
I would like to add “zzz” to existing SMTP and smtp addresses of usernames in a CSV file. Anyone has script for this?

Thanks in advance!

In reply to Christian. You're missing the hyphen on the -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled parameter.
