Question

We are using powershell to create our student users automatically in our Active Directory. We have everything working except the enable-mailbox. We only give email addresses to our secondary students. So I am trying to have the script read the csv and only enable-mailbox for secondary students. All our secondary schools have campus numbers less than 100, so I tried to have the script use ForEach and then If $_.extensionAttribute1 (column in the csv with the campus number) is less then 100, then it will mail-enable the account. The problem I am having is that only processes the first user and ends the script. I am wanting it to run through each row in the csv. Here is my script.

add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

Import-CSV C:\scripts\updateuser.csv | ForEach {
    $campus =$_.extensionAttribute1
    If ($campus -lt '100') {
    Enable-Mailbox -Identity $_.sAMAccountName -Database NISDSRV6DB1
    }}

Any help you can provide to make this run through the entire csv would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

EDIT…I was messing around with the csv file and I got some interesting results. The only way this script would display anything was if the extensionAttribute1 field was populated with a 1. I am trying to get all users that are less than 100.

Your ‘extensionAttribute1’ values aren’t being cast as integers properly within the ‘if’ statement. Try this:

add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

Import-CSV C:\scripts\updateuser.csv | ForEach {
    $campus =$_.extensionAttribute1 -as [Int]
    if ($campus -lt '100'){
        Write-Host $_.sAMAccountName            
        Enable-Mailbox -Identity $_.sAMAccountName -Database NISDSRV6DB1
    }
}
