Vista - Enable and Unhide from GAL users in an OU

Hi,

I am looking for a sample script to Enable some disabled accounts and also
unhide them from the GAL. These users are in the one OU.

Once enabled I will do a mailbox move and then do the reverse of above -
i.e. disabled and hide from the GAL.

Any sample scripts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Peter

Hi Shay,

They are Exchange 2003 mailboxes. It was quite easy in the end though. I
messed around and came up with this...

I created an OU under Department Offices called Enabled Temp. I moved the
accounts I wanted to enable there.

Then I ran this Powershell command.
Get-mailbox –OrganizationalUnit ‘MyDomain.Com/Department Offices/Enabled
Temp’ | set-mailbox –HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $false

I will run the same Powershell command with $true when I want them rehidden.

Hope this is useful to someone else and thanks anyway Shay.
