Automatically create Outlook folders for new user
We have 3 folders that every new hire needs in Outlook, and with the number of new hires we are starting to add every week, the task is becoming a little tedious. Is there a way to set up a script or some other automation to add the folders automatically?
The only thing I found https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/new-mailboxfolder?view=exchange-ps, but it explicitly indicates it can't be used for other user's folders.
Any help is appreciated!
- You cannot do this via "pure" PowerShell, you need to use a script based on the EWS or Graph API. There's a sample script here: https://github.com/gscales/Powershell-Scripts/blob/master/CreateFolder.ps1

- What if we reframed the question: Is it possible to change the default folders that are created for a new user?
- Change them how? Only thing you can do via "pure" PowerShell is rename them, by changing the mailbox regional settings config.
