Create powershell script to mail enable existing user with external email address
I am trying to create a powershell script which is going to enable all users in specific OU to have mail enabled settings on exchange 2016
the EMS shell command is:
Enable-Mailuser -Identity username -ExternalEmailAddress mailto:SMTP:username@domain.com
1. I am trying to defind the $userID from AD
2. and create $externalemail using formula $userID + "domain.com"
3. and to specify OU which the command should be run in
Thank you for your help!

I just had to remove the mailto otherwise it created two entries one with SMTP and one with mailto:SMTP
would it be possible to adjust the script to ignore users already enabled?
thank you
$users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=xx,DC=blah,DC=local" | select -expand samaccountname
foreach ($user in $users) {
Enable-Mailuser -Identity $user -ExternalEmailAddress SMTP:$user@domain.com
}
