#Created with Powershell ISE
#This powershell script will create a domain user object using a format of lastname, firstname, a SAM of first initial + last name
#It will also populate displayname, a default password, office and both proxyaddresses, the primary as used in your org and the
#Dover required O365 one. It will also verify the primary proxy address is not already used.
#With set-aduser you can alter almost any attribute of the user.
