Examples
EXAMPLE 1
This example consists of two commands.
In the first command, the password $password of the type System.Security.SecureString is created. When the command is executed, the prompt "Enter password" is displayed. The string entered by the user becomes the new password string, $password.
The second command creates the mail-enabled user object Ed Meadows and assigns the newly created password to the object by means of the Password parameter. Ed is an employee at Tailspin Toys, but because he works closely with employees at Contoso, Ltd, he's being given an email address at contoso.com. Ed doesn't have a mailbox on the server running Exchange at Contoso. Email messages sent to Ed's contoso.com email address are sent to his external email address, Ed@tailspintoys.com.

$password = Read-Host "Enter password" -AsSecureString New-MailUser -Name "Ed Meadows" -Password $password -ExternalEmailAddress ed@tailspintoys.com -UserPrincipalName ed@contoso.com -OrganizationalUnit contoso.com |
Detailed Description
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Recipient Provisioning Permissions" section in the Recipients Permissions topic.
Parameters
Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ExternalEmailAddress |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProxyAddress |
The ExternalEmailAddress parameter specifies an email address outside of the organization. Email messages sent to the mail-enabled user are sent to this external address. |
||
FederatedIdentity |
Required |
System.String |
This parameter applies to objects in the cloud-based service. It isn’t available for on-premises deployments. The FederatedIdentity parameter associates an on-premises Active Directory user with a user in the cloud. |
||
ImportLiveId |
Required |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter applies to objects in the cloud-based service. It isn’t available for on-premises deployments. The ImportLiveID parameter imports an unmanaged Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID) into the cloud-based domain. An unmanaged Microsoft account was created in the domain before the domain was enrolled in the cloud-based service. Importing a Microsoft account into the domain lets you save any settings associated with the Microsoft account, like instant messaging contacts. However, the Microsoft account is now subject to the security and privacy policies of the organization. |
||
MicrosoftOnlineServicesID |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.WindowsLiveId |
The MicrosoftOnlineServicesID parameter specifies the user ID for the object. This parameter only applies to objects in the cloud-based service. It isn’t available for on-premises deployments. |
||
Name |
Required |
System.String |
The Name parameter specifies the common name (CN) of the mail-enabled user. |
||
Password |
Required |
System.Security.SecureString |
The Password parameter specifies the password used by the mail user to secure his or her account. |
||
UseExistingLiveId |
Required |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter applies to objects in the cloud-based service. It isn’t available for on-premises deployments. The UseExistingLiveId parameter uses the specified Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID) that already exists in the cloud-based domain. The specified Microsoft account can't have a mail user associated with it. |
||
UserPrincipalName |
Required |
System.String |
The UserPrincipalName parameter specifies the name of a system user in an email address format (for example, ed@contoso.com). |
||
WindowsLiveID |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.WindowsLiveId |
This parameter applies to objects in the cloud-based service. It isn’t available for on-premises deployments. The WindowsLiveID parameter creates a Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID) associated with the mail user. |
||
AddOnSKUCapability |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty |
This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use. |
||
Alias |
Optional |
System.String |
The Alias parameter specifies the alias of the user. An alias can contain letters, numbers, and the following punctuation marks and symbols:
|
||
ArbitrationMailbox |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter |
The ArbitrationMailbox parameter specifies the mailbox used to manage the moderation process. This parameter accepts the following values:
|
||
BypassLiveId |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use. |
||
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch. |
||
DisplayName |
Optional |
System.String |
The DisplayName parameter specifies the name displayed in Microsoft Outlook for the mail user. |
||
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. |
||
EvictLiveId |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter applies to objects in the cloud-based service. It isn’t available for on-premises deployments. The EvictLiveId parameter removes an unmanaged Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID) from the cloud-based domain. An unmanaged Microsoft account was created in the domain before the domain was enrolled in the cloud-based service. Evicting a Microsoft account from the domain lets you save any settings associated with the Microsoft account, like instant messaging contacts. |
||
ExternalDirectoryObjectId |
Optional |
System.String |
This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use. |
||
FirstName |
Optional |
System.String |
The FirstName parameter specifies the first name of the mail user. |
||
ImmutableId |
Optional |
System.String |
The ImmutableId parameter is used by GAL synchronization (GALSync) and specifies a unique and immutable identifier in the form of an SMTP address for an Exchange mailbox used for federated delegation when requesting Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) tokens. If federation is configured for this mailbox and you don't set this parameter when you create the mailbox, Exchange creates the value for the immutable ID based upon the mailbox's ExchangeGUID and the federated account namespace, for example, 7a78e7c8-620e-4d85-99d3-c90d90f29699@mail.contoso.com. You must set the ImmutableId parameter if Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is deployed to allow single sign-on into an off-premises mailbox and AD FS is configured to use a different attribute than ExchangeGUID for sign-on token requests. Both, Exchange and AD FS must request the same token for the same user to ensure proper functionality for a cross-premises Exchange deployment scenario. |
||
Initials |
Optional |
System.String |
The Initials parameter specifies the initials of the mail user. |
