Command to add secondary smtp address to all new users from aquired new company
We are migrating users to our domain from another company that we acquired. Exchange 2016
I need the command to add a secondary smtp address to all of the users from the acquired company
So our domain is abcd.com and their domain is 1234.com
So how would I make their domain 1234.com, as a secondary smtp address for all of their users at once instead of having to do each user one at a time?

Saif,So
Can I do this without having to create a csv file?
Like just running a command in powershell?
If so can you show me how me how the command would be?
I am not a powershell expert.
So as I said our main domain is = adcd.com
The company we bought their domain = 1234.com
So what would the command look like to make their domain 1234.com be secondary and our domain abcd.com be primary?

Get-Mailbox -Database "XXX Users DB" | Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.Alias)@newdoma
The above command: Get-Mailbox -Database "XXX Users DB" (Will pull all users from the database XXX)
And PIPE command i.e. Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.Alias)@newdoma
@newdomain would be your new company name @1234.com
The above command: Get-Mailbox -Database "XXX Users DB" (Will pull all users from the database XXX)
And PIPE command i.e. Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.Alias)@newdoma
@newdomain would be your new company name @1234.com
I just talked with my manager and company that we bought they are already have email accounts on our domain 1234.com
We will be cutting them over from their email tomorrow.
So basically I just need to add their old domain abdc.com to each of the users as a secondary domain on our domain.
I am not sure what dbs their on but I just need a basic command to add as I said the secondary (their old domain) to each of their new mailboxes on our domain.
Sorry for tying a lot just want to be sure I have it correct.

If you want to do for all mailboxes and forget about DB's or don;t know the DB names then simple command:
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.Alias)@newdoma
Here get-mailbox (Will pull all mailboxes from all databases) and set new email address.
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.Alias)@newdoma
Here get-mailbox (Will pull all mailboxes from all databases) and set new email address.
Please note that the above command will create aliases for all mailbox, because there is no filtering done. For test, I would use the common switch -WhatIf to simulate operations only.
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.Alias)@newdomain.com"} -WhatIf
Saif, Qlemo,
But my issue is we only want this for the users coming on from the company we merged with, not any changes to existing users in our domain.
So the users from the company we purchased (1234.com) now have email accounts on our domain (abcd.com) So where would I put into the command so that only the users from the company we purchased, who now are on our domain, can have their old domain (1234.com) as a secondary smtp address?
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.Alias)@newdoma

You need something to identify those users, e.g. an AD attribute like Company Name, which can get queried to create a filter.
Other than that, your only choice is to put together a manual list of AD or mailbox user names into a file or variable.
Both have to assume the email is the same in both domains with exception of the domain name. Or there is another simple rule to build the old email address.
For bulding a manual list you could run
Tell us your decision how to proceed, and then we can adapt the command.

Do you happen to have a list of the "old" email addresses? You could use that one instead of the one described above.
Yes we do have their company name.
So if the company name is SMITH, how would the command look that I would need to run

I'm still not at a computer, so cannot test, but this should work:
Get-ADUser -Filter {Company -eq '1234'} -Property mail |
Get-Mailbox |
Set-Mailbox @{Add="$($_.mail -replace 'abcd', 1234')@1234.com"} -WhatIf
"doesn't run" means exactly what? Is it just not processing anything, or do you get an error? You can try the first line (without the pipe) to see if the filter condition works.
