Mailbox language in Exchange 2010 - not present

Sets the language attribute of Exchange 2010 mailboxes - use this powershell script

usage scenario: During a move mailbox scenario in a mid-large international company users told that they got Non Deleivery Reports (NDRs) in German language. Crazy, because all servers are set up with English OS and English Exchange Software - no German at all!

Modify all extension attributes of Exchange 2010 mailboxes

Empty all extension attributes and replace the value with NULL for all users with Exchange 2010 mailboxes

The URL call is routed over an ISA/TMG or a CISCO Netscaler, which then checks the group membership of the user to then forward him to the correct Exchange Server URL
  • The Organization would like to control various things, depending on which Exchange Server the user has its mailbox on.


To avoid manually adding users to Exchange Groups we developed a small tool which automates this process.
