How to apply a Policy or Mailbox Settings automatically while Creating a mailbox in Exchange 2010

Lets say I want to apply something default when I Create mailbox in my organization

Its bit easy to do using scripting agents

In this example I am applying Address book policy for newly created users automatically , you can add some more commands as per your requirement

Step 1:

Copy the Below Code

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″ ?>
<Configuration version=”1.0″>
<Feature Name=”MailboxProvisioning” Cmdlets=”new-mailbox,enable-mailbox”>
<ApiCall Name=”OnComplete”>
if($succeeded) {
Set-Mailbox $provisioningHandler.UserSpecifiedParameters[“Alias”] –AddressbookPolicy “Policy Name
}
</ApiCall>
</Feature>
</Configuration>

Step 2:

Save as “ScriptingAgentConfig.xml

Step 3:

Copy the File in the below location

Default: “C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin\CmdletExtensionAgents”

Step 4:

Enable-CmdletExtensionAgent "Scripting Agent"

Now Try creating a mailbox . It should apply the address book policy automatically

  1. Hi Satheshwaran,
    Your tutorials helped very much in my migration from Exchange Server 2003 > 2010.
    I have a question, I think others will find it useful to have the answer to.
    There are many more services in Exchange 2010 (and probably 2013?).
    Is there a list somewhere that identifies the functions of all these new services and, are there any that do not actually need to be enabled in a single server configuration with CAS, MBOX, HUB

    • I don’t think there is a list as such . default configurations should make things work . which is required for a single server configuration

  2. Hi Satheesh,

    Is there a possible way to add a set of Existing Distribution group while creating a New mailbox if so where i need to change the pattern in the script line.

    Please help me out.

    Thanks in Advance.

  3. Hello

    I have enabled the exchange cmdlet agent scripting in my organization so whenever we create or enable a new user his/her Activesync feature gets disabled. However, we discovered that the command is not executed only when running new-mailbox or enable-mailbox but it executes when we move a mailbox from a database to another which we don’t want. because users in ActiveSync_enabled group should have their ActiveSync feature enable all the time.

    do you have any solution for that?

    Cheers
    Omar
