At my current employer, we are constantly bringing on new customers. As I detailed in my VBScript version, it's a fairly complex environment.

The attached Powershell script does the following:

1. Read CSV file of distribution list properties. (Alias, displayname, email address, etc.)
2. Check then create each new DL
3. Populate secondary properties on each DL like, proxy addresses, Allowed Senders, Size limits, and members.
4. Define owner, and grant modify permissions to Associated External Account

Requirements:

• Exchange 2007 Powershell cmdlets
• Quest Active Roles Powershell cmdlets
• CSV File with the following fieldsnames:
  • Alias
  • Displayname
  • PrimarySMTPAddress (can be all smtp addresses seperated by ;
  • mdbquota (in MB) (mailbox send/receive attachment limit)
  • AcceptMessagesFrom - List of names or DLs, ; seperated that can send to this DL.
  • Members - names of all recipients
