Powershell Variable Help
The below command does not work because when entered I am prompted with a follow-up question of what the user's external email address should be (ExternalEmailAddress). If I enter bob@domain.com it works for the first result, but the rest fail because bob@domain.com is already used. Get-User | Enable-MailUser How do I get this command to include the ExternalEmailAddress for each user, but instead of a static (external) list, I want it to just assume the name should be the current SamAccountName@domain.com? Other provisioning programs do this with ease... and it DOES sound easy! So if get-user returns bob, sally and joe, I want this command to turn them into the MailUsers: bob@domain.com sally@domain.com joe@domain.com Mike Crowley A+, Network+, Security+, MCT, MCSE, MCTS, MCITP: Enterprise Administrator / Messaging Administrator

Try this: Get-User |foreach($_.samaccountname) {$email = $_.Samaccountname +"@domain.com"; Enable-MailUser -Identity $_ -ExternalEmailAddress $email -WhatIf} Note the -whatif - I think you will find that it plansto do way more than you want.Karl

works as expected Thanks Karl!!! James-Luo thanks as well. Instead of a CSV I pointed the above script at an OU. For this project I'd like to keep it all in the pipeline, but i'll definitely save your csv method for later reference!
