Exchange 2007 - Mailbox management

I have an Exchange 2007 question, we want to delete all email address except
for the "PrimarySmtpAddress" under a user account. We know how to Uncheck
"automatically update email address based on recipient policy.



If you do a "get-mailbox XXXXX | fl" this list all information about the
account



The variable we want to change is "EmailAddresses" within the mailbox.



We basically want to delete all "emailaddresses" except for the
"PrimarySMTPAddress"



Thanks in advance,

Eric Sabo

Try:

$user = "test"
$mailbox = Get-Mailbox $user

$mailbox.EmailAddresses | foreach {
if (!$_.IsPrimaryAddress -and ($_.PrefixString -eq "SMTP")) {$mailbox.EmailAddresses
-= $_}
}

$mailbox | set-mailbox

Willing to install/try or already have the Quest AD cmdlets?

Shay,

Thanks for the reply.

So you are saying that this will delete all email addresses except for the
primary adddress?

Yup,

Make sure to test it, don't take anything for granted
Basically, I've created a test user, added some email addresses to it and
run the code.

I suggest to log each user's addresses before and after the modification
process.

Ran the script and that does not remove any of them.

Is there a way I can clear all but the primary email address?

Try this:

$user = "test"
$mailbox = Get-Mailbox $user

## EmailAddresses before
# $mailbox.EmailAddresses

$mailbox.EmailAddresses | where {!$_.IsPrimaryAddress -and ($_.PrefixString
-eq "SMTP")} | foreach {$mailbox.EmailAddresses -= $_.SmtpAddress}
$mailbox | set-mailbox

## EmailAddresses after
# $mailbox.EmailAddresses

I think I answered this problem in another forum and I don't think you can
do it with the Exchange 2007 cmdlets. You can modify the user with the
Quest AD set-qaduser cmdlet though. Or use VBScript.

Hello Eric,

Eric;

You may have stumbled over line wraps in Shay's example, so try this one,
removing the @ from each line.
(If the line doesn't start with an @, it is part of the previous line.)

@$mailbox = Get-Mailbox $user
@$addresses = $mailbox.EmailAddresses
@$beforecount = $addresses.count
@$mailbox.EmailAddresses | foreach {
@if (!$_.IsPrimaryAddress -and ($_.PrefixString -eq "SMTP")) {$mailbox.EmailAddresses
-= $_}} | set-mailbox
@$addresses = $mailbox.EmailAddresses
@$aftercount = $addresses.count
@write-host "There were $beforecount email addresses"
@write-host "There is now $aftercount email address"


Karl

FYI, the PowerShell version is working.
