  Hi

  Please help with the following code.

  Am making an interactive console to accept user input and mail-enable existing AD objects. Need to capture the UPN, email address and mailbox quota slab information from the heldpesk staff, and then create the mailbox.

  $Quota1_l = 80MB
  $Quota1_h = 100MB
  $Quota2_l = 180MB
  $Quota2_h = 200MB
  $Quota3_l = 280MB
  $Quota3_h = 300MB

  Write-Host `n
  $EmpNum = Read-Host "Enter Employee Number"
  $EmailInput = Read-Host "Enter email Address"

  #validate input email address
  function ValidateEmail{
      param([string]$EmailInput)
      ($EmailInput -as [System.Net.Mail.MailAddress]).Address `
   -eq $EmailInput -and $EmailInput -ne $null
  }
  $result1 = ValidateEmail($EmailInput)

  # this code needs to be corrected

  while ($result1 -ne $True) { Write-Host "Email Address is invalid!" `n $EmailInput2 = Read-Host "Enter email Address"; $result1 = validateEmail($EmailInput2); break}

  #end-correction

  Write-Host "`nMailbox Quota: `n`n[1] Regular User: 100MB`n[2] Critical User: 200MB`n[3] Management User: 300MB"  -foregroundcolor "white"

  #Set Mailbox Quota Variables
  $QuotaInput = Read-Host "`nEnter your choice"
  if ($QuotaInput -eq 1) { $TempQuota_l = $Quota1_l; $TempQuota_h = $Quota1_h}
  elseif ($QuotaInput -eq 2) { $TempQuota_l = $Quota2_l; $TempQuota_h = $Quota2_h}
  elseif ($QuotaInput -eq 3) { $TempQuota_l = $Quota3_l; $TempQuota_h = $Quota3_h}
  else { Write-Host "Incorrect Choice Entered"; break }

  $EmpName = (Get-User -Identity $EmpNum).Name
  $EmpTitle = (Get-User -Identity $EmpNum).Title

  $yes = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&Yes",""
  $no = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&No",""
  $choices = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]]($yes,$no)

  Write-Host "`nMailbox will be created as:"
  Write-Host "`nEmployee Name: $EmpName`nTitle: $EmpTitle`nEmployee Number: $EmpNum`nEmail Address: $EmailInput`nMailbox Quota Choice: $QuotaInput" 
  $message2 = "`nDo you want to proceed"

  $result3 = $Host.UI.PromptForChoice($caption,$message2,$choices,0)

  if($result3 -eq 0) {

  #create mailbox script here - code not complete deliberately
  Write-Host "`nMailbox Created Successfully! `n"
  }

  if($result3 -eq 1) {
  Write-Host `n"No Action Taken!" `n
  }
