    Hello,

    In my "organization" we have 20% of Exchange accounts (Exch sever 2007)and 80% Linux Accounts.

    The Linux accounts are mail contact (New mail user & New mail contact).

    1- I need to add in the Mailbox User Properties in Custom attributes 2 the mention "LINUX" for the mail contact (New mail user & New mail contact).

    2- And need to do the same with all the mailbox but add the mention "EXCHANGE"

    Does anyone know a shell command that would do the job??

    Thanks in advance

    Do you mean to say MailContacts User Properties?

    Just query all Mailcontacts and MailUsers from AD with CmdLets and pipe the result to Set-MailContact and Set-MailUser. try below for Contacts and for MailUsers

    Get-MailContact -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-MailContact -CustomAttribute2 "LINUX"
    Get-MailUser -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-MailUser -CustomAttribute2 "LINUX"


    and For mailbox to fix CA2 as Exchange...

    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-Mailbox -CustomAttribute2 "EXCHANGE"

    Hope This helps.
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    So this is the 2nd part of your earlier query of making DLs for linux users.

    Have a look into this http://blogs.technet.com/isingh/archive/2007/02/18/adding-custom-attributes-in-active-directory.aspx.

    Also make sure you back your registry before making any changes.

    Not sure but can have a look into this also.
