Script Repository

The script can be used in Business Rules, Custom Commands or Scheduled Tasks to create a remote mailbox for a user. For example, to create remote mailboxes for new users, you need to create a Business Rule that automatically runs the script once a new user is created. For more information, see Run PowerShell Script after Creating a User.

Script 1: For Adaxes 2016 and later

In the script, the $remoteRoutingAddressTemplate variable specifies a template for the Remote Routing Address which will be applied to the remote mailbox. You can use value references in the template (e.g. %username%)

$remoteRoutingAddressTemplate = "%username%@mycompany.mail.onmicrosoft.com" # TODO: modify me

$Context.TargetObject.EnableRemoteMailbox($remoteRoutingAddressTemplate)

Script 2: For Adaxes 2015 and earlier

Parameters:

• $exchangeServer - specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Exchange Server that will be used to create mailboxes;
• $o365Domain - specifies the the email domain of the Exchange Online service that the mailbox will be associated with.

$exchangeServer = "exchangeserver.example.com" # TODO: modify me
$o365Domain = "domain.mail.onmicrosoft.com" # TODO: modify me

try
{
    # Connect to Exchange Server
    $session = New-PSSession -Configurationname Microsoft.Exchange –ConnectionUri http://$exchangeServer/powershell
    Import-PSSession $session -DisableNameChecking -AllowClobber

    # Create remote mailbox
    Enable-RemoteMailbox "%distinguishedName%" -RemoteRoutingAddress "%samaccountname%@$o365Domain"
}
finally
{
    # Close connection to Exchange Server
    Remove-PSSession $session
}
