Mass-Removing Alias Addresses
We're an Exchange 2007 shop, and a number of our users have aliases that are no longer needed. For a time, we needed mail addressed to either u...@taylor.k12.fl.us or u...@exchange.taylor.k12.fl.us to go to the user. But that transition period is over, and we no longer need the @exchange.taylor.k12.fl.us addresses/aliases. Is there a an easy way to remove those from my users' accounts, or do I have to go in one by one and do it?

Re: Mass-Removing Alias Addresses
Mine is a bit more complicated, but it was written to work against Exchange
2003 first. The following function Remove_LegacyAddress takes 2 entries, a
mailbox object and a string for the dead domain.
You'd use it something like:
$deaddomain = exchange.taylor.k12.fl.us
$mbxes = get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | ?{$_.emailaddresses -match
$deaddomain}
ForEach ($mbx in $mbxes) {
Remove_LegacyAddress $mbx $deadDomain
}
###
function Remove_LegacyAddress ($u, [string]$deadDomain) {
if ($u -is [array]) {
$mdn = $u[0].distinguishedname
} else {
$mdn = $u.distinguishedname
}
$mldapStr = LDAP://+$mdn ldap://+$mdn/
$mldap = [adsi]$mldapstr
$pa = $mldap.proxyaddresses
Before: +$U.displayname
$pa
$BlankAddr = @()
foreach ($addr in $PA) {
if ($addr -notmatch $DeadDomain ) {
$blankaddr += $addr
}
}
#Find out if NO primary SMTP
$x = $blankaddr -match SMTP:
if ($x.length -ne 0) {
$y = $blankaddr -cmatch SMTP:
if ($y.length -eq 0) {
No Primary SMTP
#$x
$tempAddr = @()
$a = $x[0].replace(smtp:,SMTP:)
$tempAddr += $a
foreach ($Addr in $blankAddr) {
if ($addr -notmatch $a) {
$tempaddr += $addr
}
}
$blankaddr = $tempAddr
}
}
Write-Host
Write-Host After:
if ($pa -eq $blankaddr) {
- no change
} else {
$blankaddr
$mldap.proxyaddresses = $blankaddr
$mldap.setinfo()
}
}
