Creating bulk users from Exchange management shell

Original script From : Script to download


When you have downloaded and extracted the scripts to your server – open a Powershell Console and navigate to the location where they are located – when there type in:

.\CreateUsersFromCSV.ps1

LabUsers01

When the script executes you will be presented with a Windows “Open” dialog box – navigate to the location where you extracted the files and then choose the sample CSV – see below;

LabUsers02

The script will then execute creating each user in your Active Directory Lab environment – the Default password is “Password1” – see below;

LabUsers03

When the script has completed – open Active Directory Users and Computers – you will see a new OU called “ExchangeUsers” – within this OU are the new accounts that you can play with – see below;

LabUsers04

Enable the users using Power Shell

Get-User -Filter {Department -Like 8* -And RecipientType -eq User} | % { Enable-MailUser $_ -externalEmailAddress $($_.name)@angrytech.com}

Another Script
-------------------------------
Get-User | Where-Object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User”}
Get-User –OrganizationalUnit People | Where-Object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User”}
get-user –organizationalUnit people | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User” -and $_.department –eq “Sales”}
get-user –organizationalUnit people | where-object {$_.RecipientType –eq “User” -and $_.department –eq “Sales”} | Enable-Mailbox –Database “EXCHANGE1\Mailbox Database” | get-mailbox | select name,windowsemailaddress,database


Steps
From the powershell, run the .\CreateUsersFromCSV.ps1
and the confirm the user from Get-User in Active directory at OU=ExchangeUsers and in the below Exchange shell command rename -OrganizationalUnit People
Get-user –organizationalUnit people | where-object {$_.RecipientType –eq “User” -and $_.department –eq “Sales”} | Enable-Mailbox –Database “EXCHANGE1\Mailbox Database” | get-mailbox | select name,windowsemailaddress,database

Run the command from Shell
get-mailbox | fl name, database and from the resultant replace the Database after Enable-Mailbox -Database ""

So the new command would be
get-user –organizationalUnit ExchangeUsers | where-object {$_.RecipientType –eq “User” -and $_.department –eq “Sales”} | Enable-Mailbox –Database “E2K7\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database” | get-mailbox | select name,windowsemailaddress,database


Here OrganizationUnit is the location from ADUC where Exchange users created
and E2K7\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database is an example from my E2k7 DB

Post Installing KB 2837618 2768005 Unable to set out of office settings, free busy contains no information

Issue : 
--------------------
After installing KB on Outlook 2013, users are complaining that they are unable to set "Out of Settings" and can't schedule Free busy information after Installing November Security Patches

but Owa users can set OOF and schedule meetings

Error:
---------------------
 "Your server location could not be determined."


WorkAround
---------------------
Creation of new profile while update 2768005 and 2837618 installed on the system, didn't working either, you need to remove both of the update and then create a new Outlook Profile.

Lots of users are complaining about this issue on Outlook 2013 with Exchange 2007.

Alternately Quit Outlook and try setting OOF from OWA and log back into Outlook and check if this settings can resolve the issue


There is no update released as far of now, wait for Microsoft to update about this issue in newer patch or update
