PowerShell Get-Mailbox display SMTP addresses


A question was posed recently where a user wanted to see a list of all his mailboxes, with their server, primary SMTP address, and any additional SMTP addresses associated with the mailbox. The user specifically wanted ONLY SMTP addresses.

With the help of a scriptblock, I was able to solve this on one line:

001
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}

 

(I got the scriptblock idea from Xaegr’s comment on  http://dmitrysotnikov.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/select-object-with-subproperties)

Let’s break this line down:

First, we get all mailboxes (Get-Mailbox –ResultSize Unlimited

We pipe the results to Select-Object, where we select the DisplayName, ServerName, PrimarySMTPAddress, and then create the scriptblock to gather all secondary smtp addresses (The Primary SMTP address has a PrefixString of “SMTP” all others are a lower case “smtp”):

@{Name=”EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}

This results in the following for me:

DisplayName    ServerName    PrimarySmtpAddress        EmailAddresses
Mitschke, Karl   Server1            KMitschke@contoso.com    karlmitschke@contoso.com

Hint: Add | Export-Csv <csv file> –NoTypeInformation to save the results.

This is tested on Exchange 2007 SP2 and Exchange 2010.

    Hi Karl,

    Great blog, Great Scripts, very very helpful and you have given explanation too ; so that makes it easier to understand and to learn upon it.

    I have used this script just now to get a list and it works 🙂

    Now, I am getting event id 9327 and someone mentioned to check the Email address and AD mail address which doesn’t matches for some or one user and then you see those users disappearing from GAL.

    Is there a way with your script you can add something so it list AD MAIL ADDRESS too ?

    I hope that’s ok ?
    Once again thanks for a great resource for people like me
    Kind Regards

      Hi Karl,

      Thanks so much for a prompt response, I tried the script and it works !!

      It is listing the AD Email address too, which is different from the Primary SMTP Address, how can we change that AD Address to match it to the smtp address ?

      Can you provide a link to some background info, my googling hasn’t taken me far yet so a bit stuck here.

      Once again thanks so much for this wonderful script.

      One more quesiton, your another script of Exchange DB Reporting, do we need to change something in it so it checks for specific Exchange server (I have only ONE at the moment) ??

      Kind Regards
      Rihatum

    Great one-liner, but any idea on how to make the columns wider so you can export this to a txt file and maintain the address instead of getting dozens of …. in your table?

    Thanks

      Is the | Export-Csv –NoTypeInformation not working for you?

  5. #8 by Tony on August 21, 2010 - 18:54

    What if you just wanted an output of emails that ONLY contained secondary smtp addresses.

    • #9 by karlmitschke on August 24, 2010 - 22:21

      Tony;

      Try this:
      Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Where-Object {$_.EmailAddresses -clike “smtp*”} |Sele
      ct-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=”EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object
      {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}

    Karl:

    Thank so very much for sharing this script. I seem to be getting unusual results.

    When I run the following I see that some users display both Primary and Secondary emails (under Emailaddresses). That indicates to me that they DO have secondary emails.

    Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Select-Object displayname,emailaddresses |Export-Csv -path $filename –NoTypeInformation

    However when I run your script, that column in the csv file is blank

    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”}| ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}} |Export-Csv -path $filename –NoTypeInformation

    I don’t understand it. Would you be able to assist me by suggesting how I can troubleshoot the problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

      I get the same results on my workstation, running a remote session to one of my Exchange 2010 HT servers.
      On that HT, I get the expected results.

      Can you test this on an Exchange server?

    • #12 by Serge de troyer on November 14, 2011 - 07:08

      Good aftrenoon,

      I just found the information you posted. They are really nice. I tried to use the following:

      Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}} > c:\mailbox_alias.txt

      It works nearly perfectly, I miss certainly something. It gives me a file (I tried with a txt or csv file), but It truncates all the aliases to 25 characters followed by dots.
      Here the result for myself:

      Serge De Troyer zeus serge@ngroup.be {serge@nostalgie.be, serge…

      What I really need is the list … after the dots. I have about 80 mailboxes with many aliases. The problem is to find which aliases are already distribituted and to whom.

      Do you have an idea what I should modify to have all the existing aliases to all the mailboxes?

      Many thanks already

      Best regards

      Serge De Troyer

      • #13 by Karl Mitschke on November 14, 2011 - 09:12

        Try replacing > c:\mailbox_alias.txt with | Export-Csv c:\mailbox_alias.csv

      • #14 by Serge de troyer on November 16, 2011 - 04:43

        Great! I type

        Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=”EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}} | Export-Csv c:\mailbox_alias03.csv

        and I have at least all aliases in an Excel file. Il have to create a small macro to have all in nice columns, because every name is actually in one cell, BUT the information is available.

        Very Great. Thanks

        Serge

    Thanks for replying. We don’t have an Exchange server in house but I am running the PS script against the Live@edu Exchange server which hosts our student accounts.

    Curiously, the following script returned what I needed:

    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Select Name, PrimarySMTPAddress, @{Name=’EmailAddresses’;Expression={[string]::join(“;”, ($_.EmailAddresses -cmatch ‘smtp’))}}

    Dunno why THIS script worked but not the other. I then parsed the output to extract the email address from the resulting string.

    Thank You for this script! I used Get-Recipient in order to get everything with an e-mail address. Worked like a charm!

    Thanks for the post.

    I am trying to get my users data, firstname,lastname, and customattribute1 but cant in my query.

    I am using Live@edu also, any ideas?

    • #18 by Karl Mitschke on February 24, 2011 - 13:39

      Joe;
      Get-Mailbox does nor return Firs Name and Last Name. Try Get-Recipient with a filter of recipienttype = UserMailbox:
      (All on one line again)
      Get-Recipient -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq “UserMailbox”} -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object FirstName, Lastname, CustomAttribute1, DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}

    Wow thanks for that!

    Do you know if there is a way to set the country/region?
    My problem is when i create a new account, and the user logs in for the first time, they have to enter there date of birth, and select a county/region.
    Can i set this?

  11. #21 by Kris on March 14, 2011 - 09:55

    I have a question….what if I need to only get email address based off a csv file, how would I do that? I get a CSV file of users I need to create after they are created I need to export the email address back to another person. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  12. #22 by Kris on March 14, 2011 - 10:10

    For example would this work?

    Import-Csv “\\server.domain.local\c:\NewStudents\ex_export_for_account_creation.csv” | foreach { Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”}| ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}} |Export-Csv -path C:\EmailReport\EmailReport.csv –NoTypeInformation

    the csv file that I am importing is not locally on the Exchange server it is on our PDC.

    • #23 by Karl Mitschke on April 5, 2011 - 10:47

      Kris;
      I’d do this as:

      $UserData = @()
      foreach ($user in Import-Csv "\\server.domain.local\c:\NewStudents\ex_export_for_account_creation.csv")
      {
      $UserData += Get-Mailbox $user.alias |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name="EmailAddresses";Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”}| ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}
      }
      $UserData | Export-Csv -Path C:\EmailReport\EmailReport.csv –NoTypeInformation

      This should work:

      Hi Karl,

      Thanks for sharing the script here, however how to suppress the warning message below in the result ?

      WARNING: Object domain.com/Microsoft Exchange System Objects/Server Production has been corrupted and it is in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors have occurred:
      WARNING: “Server Production” is not valid for Alias. Valid values are: Strings formed with characters from a to z (uppercase or lowercase), digits from 0 to 9, !, #, $, %, &, ‘, *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, `, {, |, } or ~. One or more periods may be embedded in an alias, but each one of them should be preceded and followed by at least one of the other characters. Unicode characters from U+00A1 to U+00FF are also valid in an alias, but they will be mapped to a best-fit US-ASCII string in the email address which is generated from such an alias.

      Cheers,
      AWT

      • #28 by albertwt on April 15, 2013 - 20:24

        ok, I found it myself using the -WarningAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue after the Get cmdlet 🙂

  15. #29 by Randy on June 3, 2011 - 08:34

    This is some great stuff. Can you guys tell me how to breakdown the DisplayName portion of this? In other words, when I export to a csv file, the DisplayName shows up as one column with LastName, FirstName format. I need two columns to split the DisplayName so it shows the first column as FirstName then the second column LastName. I tried using GivenName, Surname but no joy.

    Thanks.

    • #30 by Karl Mitschke on June 9, 2011 - 10:26

      Randy;

      This uses PowerShell V2’s splatting:
      $Mailbox = @{
      ResultSize = “Unlimited”
      }
      $Filter = @{
      FilterScript = {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”}
      }
      $Select = @{
      Property = @{Name=”First Name”;Expression={$_.DisplayName.Split(“,”)[1].Trim()}},
      @{Name=”Last Name”;Expression={$_.DisplayName.Split(“,”)[0].Trim()}},
      “DisplayName”,
      “ServerName”,
      “PrimarySmtpAddress”,
      @{Name=”EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses | Where-Object @Filter}}
      }
      Get-Mailbox @Mailbox | Select-Object @Select

    Fantastic! Thanks Karl.

  17. #32 by Chris Maive on July 5, 2011 - 07:07

    Fantastic Script!

    All our users have a primary email address of @examplea.com and within the secondary email address list they have one ending @exampleb.com.

    We want to promote @exampleb.com address as the new Primary and demote the current primary @examplea.com to Secondary.

    Is this possible in Powershell?

    Thanks, Chris

  18. #33 by Dave on July 8, 2011 - 11:03

    Karl, great script. Now what I need to do is somehow filter the smtp addressess by a certain criteria, i.e smtp address is equal to SamAccountName@company.com. Any thoughts?

  19. #34 by RichardM on July 28, 2011 - 06:00

    Hi, the script is working perfect for me – is there a way to only output AD accounts that are enabled?

  20. #35 by Tim on August 5, 2011 - 09:06

    Does this Script show Distribution List Addresses?

    • #36 by Karl Mitschke on August 8, 2011 - 10:57

      Tim;
      Modify the script as following, and it will show distribution lists:
      Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited |Select-Object DisplayName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=”EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}

  21. #37 by Robert on August 9, 2011 - 09:39

    Karl Thank you so much for the script!

    How could I modify the script to take input from a CSV to lookup which accounts use a certain SMTP address?

    • #38 by Karl Mitschke on August 9, 2011 - 10:29

      Assuming your csv has the user alias, with the header “Alias”

      Using powerShell v2 splatting:

      Foreach ($Mailbox in Import-Csv c:\scripts\users.csv)
      {
      $Property = @{
      Property = 'DisplayName','ServerName','PrimarySmtpAddress',
      @{Name="EmailAddresses";Expression={$_.EmailAddresses | `
      Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.PrefixString -ceq "smtp"} | `
      Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.PrefixString -ceq "smtp"} | `
      ForEach-Object -Process {$_.SmtpAddress}}}
      }
      Get-Mailbox -Identity $Mailbox.Alias | Select-Object @Property
      }

    Hello,
    Wonderfull script, it give me solution to set more smtpaddress.
    So, I am surprised that I cannot list the custom address when I remove the condition {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} ! Do you have any tips for listing SIP, x400 and X500 address?
    Thanks for your support.

    Hi….

    Thank you for this wonderfull post. The script runs ok but I’m not able to get secondary smtp addresses. It only exports the PrimarySMTPAddress of the users. My script looks like this:

    Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit “OU Name” | Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=”EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses | Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_SmtpAddress}}} | Export-Csv C:\PSscripts\”filename”.csv -NoTypeInformation

    Any ideas?

    – I have tried to run the script on a MBX server as well as an Exchange management tools server.

    I hope someone can assist me here.

    • #65 by Karl Mitschke on March 5, 2012 - 14:59

      A quick way would be:

      Try this:
      $email = (get-mailbox “user” |select-object -ExpandProperty PrimarySMTPAddress).ToString()

    I’m not sure if this thread is still active. As others have said, this was a very helpful post. What does it take to format the secondary addresses to have them listed with a comma for easier import ?

      It’s ugly, but this one line script will do it:

      (Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}) |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses.Split() -join(“,”)}} |Export-Csv C:\scripts\temp\addresses2.csv -NoTypeInformation

    Hi Karl,

    Thanks for the quick reply. When I run this I get the following error:

      I’m not seeing that error here….
      I assume you copied and pasted directly to a console?
      Can you paste it into notepad or another editor and make sure there are no weird characters around the -join?
      Karl

      • #74 by frank on July 13, 2012 - 09:39

        Thanks for checking on this, I can’t find the character if it’s in there. I threw it in Notepad++, and nothing. Any other ideas ?

    Hi Karl…
    I have two global AD’s A & B, A have only Primary Addresses for all users and B have Primary + Secondary Addresses.
    I am looking for a power shell script which can compare Primary Addresses and add Secondary Addresses with respective Primary SMTP.

    I appreciate your help on this.

    Let me know if need any other information.

    • #76 by Karl Mitschke on August 24, 2012 - 11:15

      I see you have asked for help on the TechNet and PowerShellCommunity forums, so I will see what I can do to help you there.

    Very neat and useful script. Thanks for posting it

      Hello;

      You need to have the Exchange Management Shell loaded.

      Karl

  43. #81 by Roger on January 3, 2013 - 20:08

    Hi Karl,
    Do you know an Power Shell script that will Query Disabled Active Directory user accounts on a domain and compare them to the Exchange Global Address List and display the Disabled AD accounts with Unhidden addresses in the GAL? I ask this question because we have Terminated Employees still showing in the GAL because the mailboxes were never deleted or hidden in Exchange 2010. I would like to generate a report to clean up the GAL. Thank You in advance. Roger

    • #82 by Karl Mitschke on January 4, 2013 - 09:55

      Roger;
      This might be what you are looking for:
      Get-Mailbox -Filter {UserAccountControl -eq 514 -and HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled -eq $false}
      Karl

      you are welcome.

      I’m glad you found it of use.

    HI,

    I heave in smtp primary adress like this (fn.ln@domain.com and fn.ln2@domain.com).
    How to export only users to heave “fn.ln2@domain.com” ??

    Regards
    Marcin Liskiewicz

    • #87 by Karl Mitschke on June 19, 2013 - 13:44

      If you are only worried about email addresses with a 2@domain.com, this should work:
      Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -filter {emailaddresses -like “*.*2@domain.com”} |Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,PrimarySmtpAddress, @{Name=“EmailAddresses”;Expression={$_.EmailAddresses |Where-Object {$_.PrefixString -ceq “smtp”} | ForEach-Object {$_.SmtpAddress}}}

      Karl

    This worked for me as well. Excellent article and the added follow-up and tweaking per the questions you receive it also great. This was just what I needed I just had to add the IgnoreDefaultScope switch, so that it showed my whole organization. Thanks again.

    Hi Karl,
    I am needing a powershell script that will remove smtp addresses imported from a csv file. We are using Exchange 2007. The addresses we are needing to remove are from name changes over the last few years. Any help would be appreciated.

    • #90 by Karl Mitschke on August 2, 2013 - 13:58

      You could do it this way, IF you are running Exchange 2010 or 2013:
      Set-Mailbox -EmailAddresses @{Remove=”oldalias@olddomain.com”,”oldalis2@realolddomain.com”}

      • #91 by Karl Mitschke on August 2, 2013 - 14:00

        So, if I learned to read, I’d see you are on Exchange 2007. So, the second method (or the recipient policy) I posted should work.

  48. #92 by Tim Norton on July 11, 2013 - 12:13

    Following up on my previous question: I have read that you can remove an address by omitting it from the Set-Mailbox command. Since our standard email address format is alias@domain.com, would it be easier to run a script from csv on all users to Set-Mailbox with SMTP address that matches alias name thus removing the unneeded addresses?

    • #93 by Karl Mitschke on August 2, 2013 - 13:59

      Yes, you should be able to do this:
      Set-Mailbox -EmailAddresses alias@domain.com

      Or, modify and apply the recipient policy to all mailboxes…
