Hello, Is it possible to add secondary smtp address in bulk through local EMS with Powershell in Exchange 2010 SP1 Mailboxes? This is how we used to import from CSV and add secondary smtp addresses in Exchange 2007 SP2. /*************** Create the CSV file as Users.csv add1,add2 address1@domain1.com,address2@domain2.com .....,...... Created a Powershell script for following Import-CSV Users.csv | foreach { $Temp = Get-Mailbox -Identity $_.add1 $Temp.EmailAddresses.Add($_.add2) Set-Mailbox -Instance $Temp } ***************/ We are trying the following for Exchange 2010 SP1 and it DOES NOT seem to work. /*************** Import-CSV Users.csv | foreach { $Temp = Get-Mailbox -Identity $_.add1 $Temp.EmailAddresses += ("smtp:'$_.add2'") Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.add1 -EmailAddresses $Temp.EmailAddresses } ***************/ The error is as follows... Exception setting "EmailAddresses": "Cannot convert value "System.Object[]" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProxyAddressCollection". Error: "The address 'smtp:'@{add1=address1@domain1.com; add2=add2@domain2.com'' is invalid: The address ''@{add1=address1@domain1.com; add2=add2@domain2.com}.add2'' is not a valid SMTP address."" At C:\1.ps1:4 char:7 + $Temp. <<<< EmailAddresses += ("smtp:'$_.add2'") + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyAssignmentException Appreciate your assistance. Exchange 2010 SP1 / Powershell 2.0

You can try this: Import-CSV Users.csv | foreach { $Temp = Get-Mailbox -identity $_.Identity $Temp.EmailAddresses.Add($_.EmailAddress2) Set-Mailbox -Instance $Temp } With kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog

Thanks Krystian. That returns the following error in Exchange 2010 SP1. A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'User Name'. + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Mailbox], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Set-Mailbox However, it works fine in Exchange 2007 SP2.

Hi, Assming the csv file has at list this header columns: LoginName and SecondayAddress Import-Csv IDs.csv | Foreach-Object{ $user = Get-Mailbox -Identity $_.LoginName $user.EmailAddresses+=$_.SecondayAddress Set-Mailbox $user -EmailAddresses $user.EmailAddresses }Ravi | MCSE Messaging - 2003.

Hi, Please update on the above script, is this worked for you?Ravi | MCSE Messaging - 2003. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Thank you Ravish. This worked for me.

Hi Ravish, I copied your scripts to a notepad and save it as import.ps1. Import-Csv IDs.csv | Foreach-Object{ $user = Get-Mailbox -Identity $_.Alias $user.EmailAddresses+=$_.SecondaryAddress Set-Mailbox $user -EmailAddresses $user.EmailAddresses } Here is my Csv file format: Alias SecondaryAddress user1 SMTP:user1@domain1.com;smtp:user1@domain2.com;smtp:user1.domain2.com user2 SMTP:user2@domain1.com;smtp:user2@domain2.com:smtp:user2@domain3.com and get the following errors that the SMTP address entry is invalid. How can I put multiple SMTP address in SecondaryAddress field

I am attempting to add a secondary SMTP address without touching the primary. I am running the following script but keep receiving a warning. I'm not sure if its actually trying to change the primary as well or not. Please help Import-Csv c:\temp\test.csv | Foreach-Object{ $user = Get-Mailbox -Identity $_.LoginName $user.EmailAddresses+=$_.Secondsmtp Set-Mailbox $user -EmailAddresses $user.EmailAddresses } CSV File named test.csv headers: loginname, secondsmtp Heres the warning i keep getting [PS] C:\Windows\system32>c:\temp\test.ps1 WARNING: Couldn't update the primary SMTP address because this mailbox is configured to use an e-mail address policy. To disable the e-mail address policy for this mailbox, run the command with the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled parameter set to $false. Now this script will be making the change on about 200 users and I dont want to go go through every account to make sure this policy is enabled, just want to make sure nothing goes wrong when i execute the full csv file.

Sean, The CMD for to uncheck the 'emailaddresspolicy' is Set-mailbox -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false You should be able to just add another line in the 'ForEach' before you add the add'l addy. perhaps something like: Import-Csv c:\temp\test.csv | Foreach-Object{ $user = Get-Mailbox -Identity $_.LoginName $user.EmailAddresses+=$_.Secondsmtp Set-mailbox -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false Set-Mailbox $user -EmailAddresses $user.EmailAddresses } Also, if you don't want to integrate it into the rest of the script, just use a list of the logons/aliases in a single column, and then run get-content filename.txt | Set-mailbox -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false All 200 of your users are taken care of at once and then you can move on to reset the email addy's.

This article works good with exchange 2010 so I am write some changes http://msexchangeguru.com/2011/06/09/e2k7addremove-email-id-for-bulk-users/ so meanwhile I have test this one below which is working for me. Import-csv c:\temp\data.csv | ForEach-Object{ $maileg = $_.Name $ProxyAdd = $_.proxyaddresses -split ';' Set-mailuser -identity $maileg -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false -Emailaddresses @{add= $proxyAdd} }

Ok this is working for me. I am doing this on mailuser if you need to use the same for mailbox then remember to change set-mailbox Import-Csv c:\temp\data.csv | Foreach{ $maileg = Get-Mailuser -Identity $_.Name $maileg.EmailAddresses += $_.email -split ';' $maileg | Set-Mailuser -EmailAddresses $maileg.EmailAddresses }
