I have to add new SMTP address to bulk disabled user mailbox. I have tried the below command and it is working for single user. Remote Pipeline Execution Failed For bulk users. Get-Content c:\users.txt | get-mailbox | select-object $_.samaccountname | foreach {Set-Mailbox $_.identity -emailAddressPolicyEnabled:$false -primarySmtpAddress ("{0}.terminated@domain.com" -f $_.samaccountname)} Error while executing for multiple user: Pipeline not executed because a pipeline is already executing. Pipelines cannot be executed concurrently. + CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (Microsoft.Power...tHelperRunspace:ExecutionCmdletHelperRunspace) [], PSInvalidOperationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RemotePipelineExecutionFailed My objective is to replace primary SMTP address with new one in format UserID.terminated@domain.com

Hi The error you see is because of the multiple pipelines - this can be fixed in a couple of ways. What format is the users.txt file in because your command could be a lot simpler if it contained either samaccountnames or aliases already ... you could pipe that straight to the foreach? Also you can shorten this part of the command: get-mailbox | select-object $_.samaccountname to this: (get-mailbox).samaccountname Steve

I modified the command [PS] C:\>Get-Content c:\users.txt | (get-mailbox).samaccountname | foreach {Set-Mailbox $_.identity -primarySmtpAddress ("{0}.terminated@domain.com" -f $_.samaccountname)} Error: Expressions are only allowed as the first element of a pipeline.

No pipes at all. foreach ($u in (Get-Content c:\users.txt)) { $m = get-mailbox $u Set-mailbox $m.distinguishedname -emailAddressPolicyEnabled:$false -primarySmtpAddress "$($m.samaccountname).terminated@domain.com"} } The only problem I see is that you're using ANR to locate the mailbox. That can be a problem if: 1. There's an empty line in your input file (you'll get ALL mailboxes! That's probably not what you want.) 2. The values in your input file aren't unique (e.g. you have a user named "jdick" and anothr named "jdickins"; you may modify more mailboxes than you intended). --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
