Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example creates the address list MyAddressList. The address list includes recipients that are mailbox users and have the StateOrProvince property set to Washington or Oregon.

Copy Code 
New-AddressList -Name MyAddressList -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq 'MailboxUser') -and ((StateOrProvince -eq 'Washington') -or (StateOrProvince -eq 'Oregon')))}

EXAMPLE 2

This example creates the address list MyAddressList2 that includes mailboxes that have the ConditionalStateOrProvince parameter set to Washington.

Copy Code 
New-AddressList -Name MyAddressList2 -ConditionalStateOrProvince Washington -IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers

EXAMPLE 3

This example creates the address list AL_AgencyB that includes mailboxes that have the value of the CustomAttribute15 parameter set to AgencyB.

Copy Code
