Using PowerShell to create 15k accounts and email account data
Hi, We have a project where we will have to create 15000 new user accounts. I will get the information for the users (such as first name, last name, and email address where to send account info) in a CSV file. I figure out the account creation part (and licensing), but I'm a bit stuck when it comes to emailing them. First - I'm assuming sending 15k emails will hit some limits, and I don't want to get our domain blacklisted. Is there a way to queue them, and have the sever send them in chunks? Second - I can't seem to be able to send emails at all. This is the code I have currently: # Get the credential $UserName = "account@domain.com" $PWord = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "myPassword" -AsPlainText -Force $credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $UserName, $PWord ## Define the Send-MailMessage parameters $mailParams = @{ SmtpServer = 'smtp.office365.com' Port = '587' UseSSL = $true Credential = $credentials From = 'account@domain.com' To = 'myEmail@email.com' Subject = "Sending: $(Get-Date -Format g)" Body = 'This is a test email' DeliveryNotificationOption = 'OnFailure', 'OnSuccess' } ## Send the message Send-MailMessage @mailParams But I keep getting the following error: Send-MailMessage : Unable to read data from the transport connection: net_io_connectionclosed. At C:\SMail.ps1:21 char:1 + Send-MailMessage @mailParams + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient:SmtpClient) [Send-MailMessage], SmtpException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SmtpException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SendMailMessage Any ideas what's wrong? The username and password are correct. Thanks4.3KViews0likes7CommentsProvisioning a team with hundreds of guest users
Hi, I was wondering how would I go about provisioning a team that will have hundreds of guest users? I looked at PowerShell and School Data Sync, but it's only possible to add members within the organization. Is there a way to add 13.000 guests (in an origination with about 250 employees), without having to add them individually? It's an EDU tenant. ThanksSolved2.1KViews0likes9Comments
