This is to make sure that organizations get unique email addresses. You need at least "User administrator" permissions and the appropriate Exchange permissions to run the "New-MailAlias" command. .INPUTS None .OUTPUTS None .NOTES Author: Jean-Paul van Ravensberg, Cloudenius.com .EXAMPLE Select-MailAlias -DomainName Google.com -ExportAliasesToMailDraft -Verbose Create a mail alias for Google.com and provide Verbose output. After selecting the mail alias, create a draft mail in the mailbox of the user that contains all the used mail aliases. .EXAMPLE New-MailAlias -NumberOfAliases 9 -Verbose Warm up aliases for later use and provide Verbose output. #> Function New-MailAlias { param( [parameter(Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = "Specify the amount of aliases required")] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [int]$NumberOfAliases, [parameter(Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = "Specify the domain name that is used for the email address.
