Once you've started managing mailboxes using the Exchange Management Shell, you'll probably notice that the concepts and command syntax used to manage contacts are very similar. The difference of course is that we need to use an different set of cmdlets. In addition, we also have two types of contacts to deal with in Exchange. We'll take a look at how you can manage both of them in this recipe.
To create a mail-enabled contact, use the
New-MailContactcmdlet:New-MailContact -Alias rjones ` -Name "Rob Jones" ` -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected] ` -OrganizationalUnit sales
Mail-enabled users can be created with the
New-MailUsercmdlet:New-MailUser -Name 'John Davis' ` -Alias jdavis ` -UserPrincipalName [email protected] ` -FirstName John ` -LastName Davis ` -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText P@ssw0rd -Force) ` -ResetPasswordOnNextLogon $false ` -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
