Auto Generation Exchange Alias

jrfoster
over 13 years ago
Is there away to auto generate the alias similar to the user logon name generation in ARS.

I would usually set the alias as the user logon name, however these need to be different now.

    here is the powershell shell script....
    we are taking first character of first name followed by last name.. if this is available then first 2 character of first name followed by last name and so on..

    ==========
    function onPostModify($Request)
    {
    $givenname = $Dirobj.get("givenname").ToLower()
    $sn = $Dirobj.get("sn").ToLower().split()[-1]
    $Alias1 = $givenname.substring(0,1) + $sn.Replace(' ','')

    $exit = 0

    do
    {
    try
    {
    $user = get-recipient "$Alias1@amal.ae" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue


    if ($user -eq $null) {$exit = 1}

    else

    { $Alias1 = $givenname.substring(0,2) + $sn }

    $user = get-recipient "$Alias1@amal.ae" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    if ($user -eq $null) {$exit = 1}
    else
    { $Alias1 = $givenname.substring(0,3) + $sn }

    $user = get-recipient "$Alias1@amal.ae" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if ($user -eq $null) {$exit = 1}
    else
    { $Alias1 = $givenname.Substring(0,4) + $sn }

    $user = get-recipient "$Alias1@amal.ae" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if ($user -eq $null) {$exit = 1}
    else
    { $Alias1 = $givenname.Substring(0,5) + $sn }

    $user = get-recipient "$Alias1@amal.ae" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if ($user -eq $null) {$exit = 1}
    else
    { $Alias1 = $givenname.Substring(0,6) + $sn }


    }

    catch
    {

    $exit = 1
    }
    }

    while($exit -eq 0)
