Automate email for newly created mailbox on exchange

Amodiam posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 6:24 AM

Hi,

How we can send an automated mail (Contains defined by User,, Like Welcome
to the firm, welcome note/message in email) to newly created mailbox on
exchange server, we are using exchange 2007 and outlook 2003....

&

how we can automate the outlook configuration, we have aroung 5000 mailbox
on on servers and on daily basis we are create on average 2 mailbox per day.
its difficult to dedicate any engineer to configure outlook profile on the
system.

any idead how we can automate the outlook configuration for users, once user
logon his/her outlook should automaticaaly get configure on the system we do
not have to manually configurae the outllok profile for inbox or to gain
access on messages..

we are using outtlok 2003, we have already tried discovery on outlook 2007
which working fine.

how we can do the same outlook 2003.

Many Thanks in advance.
Regards
Amodiamm

Hi
Outlook 2003 profile can be configured using the "importprf" switch
you need a prf file that conatins the Exchange settings.

when creating mailboxes using powershell you could send the initial mail
also using powershell

Hi
to create thr prf file follow this link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308300/el

when you have finished creating the prf file simple start "outlook.exe
/importprf <yourPRFFile.prf>"

to send a mail using powershell
$emailFrom = "sentFrom@Domain.com"
$emailTo = "sentTo@Domain.com"
$subject = "Powershell"
$body = "Somebody has sent a mail using Powershell."
$smtpServer = "yourMailserver"
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$smtp.Send($emailFrom,$emailTo,$subject,$body)


hope that helps

Hi Henry,

On a topic similar to this one, would you know how to implement such an
automated email for active directory users that are created?  I've thought
about sending to a pre-gathered list of users created each day but it would
be nice to automate and have an email sent out immediately after a new
account has been created.

Regards,
Alan
