[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")

# Connect to the Adaxes service
$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

# Bind to the group
$groupDN = "CN=My Group,CN=Groups,DC=domain,DC=com"
$group = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://$groupDN", $null, $null, 0)

# Get Exchange properties
$groupParams = $group.GetMailParameters()

# The $groupParams variable represents Exchange properties of a mail-enabled group

# Alias

}

# Custom attributes
$customAttributes = $groupParams.CustomAttributes
Write-Host "Custom Attributes"

for ($i = $customAttributes.MinIndex; $i -le $customAttributes.MaxIndex; $i++)
