In the below script i just want addd the user to a security group ? Is it possible New-Mailbox -Name 'test tkr' -Alias 'prefix00004' -OrganizationalUnit $OU -UserPrincipalName 'prefix00004@gust.local' -SamAccountName 'prefix00004' -FirstName 'test' -Initials '' -LastName 'tkr' -Password $mypassword -Database 'MDB3'

You need to import the AD module first with "Import-Module ActiveDirectory" and then you can use the "Add-ADGroupMember" cmdlet. See also here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/ffff189d-8ef1-4903-b19c-12dcd352c88e Timo

run the following command manually after you have created the mailbox using yours Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "DistributionGroupName" -Member "prefix00004"if you want to create a script then add the following lines to a text file & rename the text file as .ps1New-Mailbox -Name 'test tkr' -Alias 'prefix00004' -OrganizationalUnit $OU -UserPrincipalName 'prefix00004@gust.local' -SamAccountName 'prefix00004' -FirstName 'test' -Initials '' -LastName 'tkr' -Password $mypassword -Database 'MDB3'Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "DistributionGroupName" -Member "prefix00004"run the PS1 script from Exchange Management Shellyou can also do more using thread belowhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/11dc55d8-31e1-4797-8fa1-27eb93e55516/
