If I run the command below: $cred = Get-Credential <enter> It will prompt for username and password and I manually key in the resouces forest admin account and password then I used below command: New-Mailbox -alias testlinkedmbx -name TestLinkedMailbox -database "Mailbox Database" -org Users -LinkedMasterAccount account@userdomain.com -LinkedDomainController userdomain-dc-01 -UserPrincipalName testmbx@example.com -LinkCredentail $cred it is work. But what i want is. I want to create bulk linked mailbox without prompting for admin username and password so that I able to create a batch file to run schedule it during after office hours.. Please advice.
