    I've been given a list of users with only their legacyexchangeDN. Is there a way with Powershell to get the SAM account from this? I tried get-mailbox where legacyexchangedn -eq "xxx" but it seems that is not a searchable value.

    It seems to be in the list of filterable properties: http://blogs.technet.com/b/evand/archive/2007/02/19/filterable-properties-in-exchange-2007-rtm.aspx#Mailbox

    This worked for me against one legacyexchangedn:

    Get-Mailbox -Filter {LegacyExchangeDN -eq "/o=Org/ou=AdminGroup/cn=Recipients/cn=alias"} | Select SamAccountName

    Assuming that works then it should just be a case of getting your DNs into a variable somehow (eg. import-csv) and looping through them.

    I hope this helps,

    Mark.

    No need even for the filter.
     
    get-mailbox -identity "/o=Org/ou=AdminGroup/cn=Recipients/cn=alias" is
    all you need.

    get-mailbox -identity "/o=Org/ou=AdminGroup/cn=Recipients/cn=alias" is
    all you need.

    Nice Rich, you learn something new every day ... or get reminded of something you'd forgotten ;)

    So if you can use the LegacyExchangeDN with the -identity parameter and -identity is positional you could lose that too and just go with: get-mailbox "/o=Org/ou=AdminGroup/cn=Recipients/cn=alias"

    Mark.

    Thanks Rich and Mark, got it working. Thought I had tried the -identity field already but it worked no problems when I tried it today.

    That's correct. The "-identity" parameter is the 1st positional
    parameter.
     
    I just don't like using positional parameters in scripts. Call it
    "coding style", like having curly braces line up vertically, I guess.
