Create New-MailContact from a List
Hi everyone.
I need to create Contacts for several users and would like to use Shell. I'm in Exchange 2010.
The command is
Import-CSV "C:\xx\xx\xxx\Test address.csv" | Foreach{New-MailContact -Name $_.Name -ExternalEmailAddress $_.ExternalEmailAddress -Alias $_.Alias -OrganizationalUnit "xx/xx/xx"}
This is the error
Cannont bind argument to parameter 'External EmailAddress' because it is null.
The .CSV file column headers are:
Name, External Address, and Alias
I'm not sure what is causing the error. I've checked for extra spaces, changed the header from External Address to SMTP

By the way, the $_.ExternalEmailAddress in the command doesn't match the CSV column header you listed.

Thank you thank you Thank you
I changed the Header to ExternalEmailAddress without any spaces.
The External email address are pager numbers and I forgot to remove the dashes between the numbers. So now the ExternalEmailAddress are displayed as 1234567890@txt.att.net.
