Help joining some scripts together (mail enabling accounts)

Hi All,
I'm currently working on a runbook in Orchestrator for onboarding users. I need to mail enable these users in exchange and place them into a database based on the first initial of their first name.
I have adapted this script to do the enabling - http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2014/09/29/create-exchange-2013-mailboxes-in-bulk-using-powershell/
And i found this that will do the database part - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/akashb/archive/2008/08/07/8841495.aspx
Now i just need some help with combining the two! If anyone can help me i would be most grateful.

As I posted above; post back with specific questions.
Start by trying to merge the scripts.  Use the learning materials lined at the top of this page.  When you get stuck ask a question.  You will learn to write a basic script and you will end up with a useful solution to your problem.

  • Help with some script

    Hi,
    A customer purchased a DotComBuilder Script a few years ago and never got it to work, he now wants to get it working and wants me to add a postcode function.

  • Can anyone help with Automator/Scripts with Mail Items

    I have a set up a smart folder in mail and it shows about 100 emails. These vary in content, addresses and recipients. The emails also have an extended threads.
    I need to generate a report with the emails (including threads) by subject time, date. etc.
    It will need to analyse the From: To: Date: Time: Subject: for each of the top email and also (all the threads within each email).
    How could Automator be scripted to do such a task. Manually it will be very time consuming and difficult.
    1. I am a newbee to automator and scripting is this likely to be beyond me?
    2. Are there any good sources of scripts available on the web which could be adapted?
    3. What is the recommended reading for writing, applying and using Scripting?

  • HELP!  I deleted a mail.app account and it deleted my inbox!

    I have several pop accounts set to delete from the server on download.  I got a new mail server and made a new account corresponding to one of my old ones.  I didn't want there to be a conflict with the two accounts using the same "from" address, so I deleted the old account in account preferences.
    Mail then promptly deleted my important inbox for that old account, but none of the other messages from that account that had been moved to other folders.
    Is there any way to get the inbox for that account?  I have a back up of my disk but from a couple of months ago.

    There's not one single file to recover, no...  Mail's mailboxes are stored as folders full of .emlx files with cryptic names, so you're extremely unlikely to be able to get much back with a file recovery tool, and it would be a lot of work regardless.
    However, if you have a backup, you should be able to retrieve that mailbox.  Sounds like it's a clone, which means it looks just like your boot drive, right?  On that drive, look in /Users/youruser/Library/Preferences/Mail/, where you'll find all the mailboxes.  You should be able to import mail straight from any of those into a new mailbox in Mail.

  • I do not want to lose mail previous to today, help keep some of old mail.

    It seems as though previous mail to today is gone. I do not want to lose old mail. How do I keep it?

    There are plenty of possible reasons why mail may disappear. The article lists a number of steps to determine what may have happened. So you'll have to go through the steps and check what happened in your case.
    If you get stuck, you can ask here. Please be specific.

  • Mail Enabled Public Folder Issues after migration online

    Hi
    We have recently migrated our Legacy (Exchange 2010) Public Folder Infrastructure to Exchange Online - we have a hybrid setup, SSO and DirSync.
    We initially had an issue where some of our mail enabled public folders had lost their link with the associated MailPublicFolder objects and as such could not receive email. 
    We resolved this issue ourselves however we are now experiencing a different issue which i believe should be easily resolvable however this isn't the case at the minute.
    The issue is that when a user emails a Mail Enabled Public folder Exchange online is attempting to relay the email back to our onPrem servers.  This is occuring for the bulk of our Mail Enabled Public Folders - we have ~1200 of these.  The only
    folders that are working as expected are those that had the initial issue above and for which we had to remove and re mail enable these folders.  We also had to recreate any secondary smtp address for these folders.  This accounts for 88 of our total
    MEPFs.
    I have checked the attributes on the MailPublicFolder objects for those that are not working and those that are functioning as expected.  The only difference in these that I can see is that the MEPFs with the issue have a value set in the ExternalEmailAddressAttribute.
    I have tried to programatically set this value to $Null however i receive the following error:
    The external e-mail address $null is not an SMTP e-mail address.
    I have also tried the following : set-mailpublicfolder -Identity "MEPF"-ExternalEmailAddress "<not set>"
    with the same resultAttempting to use the following syntax -externalemailaddress @{remove=$oldAddress} returns the following error:
    Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'ExternalEmailAddress'.Cannot convert the "System.Collections.Hashtable" value of type"System.Collections.Hashtable" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProxyAddress".
    At present the only fix that I have for this is to take a copy of the email addresses for an affected public folder, Mail disable it, wait for the object to be cleared, re-enable the public folder as a mail public folder and then re-add the email addresses. 
    This is ok on an adhoc basis but not for the ~1200 folders that are affected.  Especially when from what i can see it should be relatively straightforward to resolve this with a simple PowerShell script.
    I do have a case open with MS for this but I am hoping that somebody here can help also.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Ok so i fixed it myself.
    The thinking here is that the ExternalEmailAddress was set using the Primary SMTP address while the Public Folders were on premises.
    In order to get the required information we ran a script to export all the MailPublicFolder objects which had a value in the ExternalEmailAddress attribute.  We exported the Name, ExternalEmailAddress and GUID
    We then ran a second script to export the Identity, MailRecipientGuid from Get-PublicFolder -recurse. 
    The MailRecipientGUID is what ties the Mail Enabled Public folder to the MailPublicFolder object.
    Using Excel I then matched the two up and created a csv file with the Identity Attribute from the get-PublicFolder command and the ExternalEmailAddress Attribute from Get-MailPublicFolder.
    The following script then used this csv file to first Mail Disable the Public Folder, then Mail Enable the Public Folder.
    Once these steps have been completed the final stage is to add the SMTP address back in to the Public folder.
    To do this it is necessary to retrieve the new MailRecipientGUID and use it to return the MailPublicFolder for the Set-MailPublicFolder command.
    I was happy to use this script after i tested with a small subset of the data.  It is provided as is with no guarantee that it will be suitable for you to use and any use of this script is at your own risk.

  • Need Some Brain Storming Help WIth a Long Distance Mail Problem

    I would really appreciate anyones input on this...
    Here's the situation. I'm trying to solve a mail problem for my somewhat elderly Mother. The biggest problem is that she is 3800 miles away from me and nowhere near any sort of help or tech support (Rural Alaska) so I'm trying to sort this out over the phone.
    Anyway, she somehow screwed up her mail. All of a sudden the mail she sends comes from MY account! It shows up in my mailbox as having been sent by me. She is using an iBook G4 that I gave her a year or so ago and I suppose it's possible that somehow my mail account was on there somewhere (?). It's like she accidentally switched users or something.
    I have sent her Email to her normal .Mac email address and it does indeed show up in her mailbox when I check the web mail. She is running Tiger and I'm running Leopard.
    I just can't for the life of me figure out what she would have done and I'm hoping that someone might have an idea. She says that the font sizes all changed as well which leads me to believe that she is indeed using my old settings and mail account.
    Once again, any help really appreciated. I'm heading out of town for a week and she really depends on her email. I'm trying desperately to get this solved before I leave. Thanks!

    It looks like Mail has reset its preferences, including the account settings. What follows is a more thorough explanation that should allow you to determine whether that’s really what happened and what your options would be in that case. I’ll provide the full instructions I usually provide to solve this problem when having direct access to the computer, even though you may find some of them not practical or unnecessary.
    Under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings are lost. If you have a .Mac account, however, that account would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set it up automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings — but may result in a different .Mac account being automatically set up if for some reason the System Preferences > .Mac settings differ from what until then were the Mail account settings...
    What’s the capacity and space available on the startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to this case:
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder (e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down), just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This folder is where all your mail is stored.
    There are at least three ways to restore the account settings:
    (1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
    (2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure some of the Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    (3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
    As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • HELP FOR SOME MAIL app PROBLEMS IN MAVERICKS!

    As many of you, I was having great difficulty opening Apple's Mail app in Mavericks. The type of problem I was having is this:
    When trying to open Mail for the first time in Mavericks, I would get the message that the database needed to be upgraded; the process would start, but Mail would become unresponsive. The progress bar stopped in the middle and only a forced quit could close the application.
    I noticed the following:
    The actual files and folders in User/Library/Mail/V2, remained unchanged from the time before my attempt to open Mail, and for me no other changes were made.
    I took the opportunity to move a copy of the V2 Folder to my Desktop for safekeeping. Trying to open Mail without this folder just caused the app to ask me to designate my accounts anew, which I had no intention of doing.
    I then tried adding back items into the empty V2 folder.  Adding back all of the mail accounts and mailboxes except for the Mail Data folder had no effect, except that a new Mail Data folder was created, and the Mail app still asked me to designate my accounts anew.
    I then added back the first half of my old Mail Data folder contents and allowed the copy process to overwrite the files in the newMail Data folder; there was still a problem.
    Finally, I took the remaining files and one folder from my old Mail Data folder and added that to the new Mail Data folder. When I was asked to relpace matching folders and files I did that and whatever was left untouched by the file copy, I let stay there.
    The Yellow taged files were the first half I transferred back.
    As long as you have a protected copy of your Mail folder, you can try variations of the above. This is what worked for me, and I hope it is helpful to some or all of you.

    Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
    So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
    I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
    Hope this help someone with the same problem.

  • I.Movie Help - joining a theme and trailer together?

    I am using i.movie 11 (v9.0.02) and have created a soccer match movie.  I also created a trailer for this movie.
    1.  How do you join the two together.  As I had to create two separate projects, or am I doing something wrong?
    2.  What's the best way to move across to i.DVD to create the final movie for burning?
    From i.Movie I shared them with i.Tunes using a large format as I was told this would give a better quality finish.  However, once I started creating my DVD I noticed that I couldn't put the trailer and the movie together (I want them to continually flow) so I had to open a new 'slideshow' and add them both into that. Whilst watching the movie back it came out a bit fuzzy?  This also happened when I created a new movie folder and put just the movie of the game in there. More importantly how to I keep a good quality finish?
    Can anyone give me some help as I need this for the whole soccer team.

    1.  How do you join the two together.  As I had to create two separate projects, or am I doing something wrong?
    No you are doing the right thing. Themes vs. Trailers force you to pick one or the other. So you would have to do two seperate projects to get both visual elements to appear.
    2.  What's the best way to move across to i.DVD to create the final movie for burning?
    You would Share to Media Browser for both versions the Theme and the Trailer versions of the projects. Then in iDVD you would click on the Media button and then the Pictures button and then look for your projects under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. Then you would drag each project into your iDVD project and burn the disk.
    From i.Movie I shared them with i.Tunes using a large format as I was told this would give a better quality finish.
    You don't want to share to iTunes, but you do want to Share to Media Browser and then in iDVD pull the projects from the Media Browser back into the iDVD project window. That's the highest quality step you can maintain. So skip Share to iMovie, Share to Media browser instead.
    However, once I started creating my DVD I noticed that I couldn't put the trailer and the movie together (I want them to continually flow) so I had to open a new 'slideshow' and add them both into that.
    It sounds to me like you might be better off combining the two projects in iMovie, and there's some workarounds to do that, rather than use the iDVD tools to try and combine them into one movie. Here's what you should try to do:
    1. Using the Trailer version of your project, In iMovie go to the Share menu > Share using QuickTime
    2. Before you save it click the Options buttons as you want to set things in a way that iMovie can reuse your saved movie
    3. Click the settings button, under that choose Apple Intermediate Codec:
    Then save the .mov file to the Desktop, so you can easily find it.
    4. Go to the Non-Trailer version of your project and open it in the Project browser window (the top half of the iMovie screen)
    5. Go to File Menu > Import Movies... then navigate out to your Desktop and find the .mov file. And import it into your iMovie Events folder.
    6. Find the newly imported Trailer, and drag it into the Non-trailer project which is currently open in your Project browser. Drag and drop it at the begining or the end depending on where you want it to appear.
    7. Go to the Share Menu > Share to Media Browser and let that run until it finishes, then quit iMovie
    8. Open iDVD click on the Media button, then click on the Movies button. Find your shared project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser window. This exported version should have now BOTH of your projects consolidated into one iMovie project. Drag that into the iDVD project window and burn the DVD-R disk.

  • Script to choose which account mail is to be sent from in Mail?

    Does anyone have an AppleScript which will automatically set the default Mail account to an account chosen in script?
    I use FileMaker to send mail automatically, but have to use Eudora because it makes it easy to auto reset the default account from which the mail to be sent before FileMaker actually sends the mail.
    Mail always uses either the first account in list of accounts (if none chosen) or the chosen account if one is chosen. What I need is a script that "chooses the account" before I have FileMaker send mail.

    Hello, I have a similar problem. When Thunderbird is set as the Default Email program in the Preferences (instead of Apple Mail) and when I click "send email" in Filemaker Tasks or Meetings, nothing happens. No email windows. No email programs started. Zippo. However, when Apple Mail is set as the default email program, then it works fine (aside from the fact that I lose all formatting from my message that exists in Filemaker). I find this annoying. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Jeff

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How do you join together two iCloud accounts?

    How do you join together two iCloud accounts of mine?

    You would need to export the data from one account, using the respective apps, sign out of it, sign into the other, and import the data.
    Alternately, you can setup the other account as a secondary icloud account in sys prefs >> internet accounts.  A secondary account is limited compared to the main one, though.
    Actual merging the Apple ID/icloud accounts, as stated, is not possible.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
