Creating Test Users In Bulk Using Powershell...

There is always a requirement to create test users in bulk in your lab, maybe even in live network to test something. You can quickly create mailbox users using a one liner. Run the command.

1..100 | ForEach { Net User "User$_" MyPassword=01 /ADD /Domain; Enable-Mailbox "User$_" -Database "Mailbox Database"


Moral of the story - Do read the tips...

Another method which I use very often is shown below. Get a password and store it as a secure string in a variable and use the variable in the new mailbox creation process.

$password = Read-Host "Enter Password" -AsSecureString

Then run the command shown in the snapshot to create test users in bulk. Change the numbers depending upon the number of test users you need.
