The script is able to handle two separate errors for the same user and record both in the log
successfully.
Load Balancing User Creation Across Mailbox Servers
The previous two example scripts used hard values read from a CSV file to determine the mailbox
database where the mailboxes would be created. Administrators may find working out these database
assignment values a tedious and time - consuming task. Because scripting is all about automating tasks,
wouldn ??™ t it be nice to let the script work out where the mailboxes will be created?
Part IV: Automating Administration
450
There are several schemes administrators may choose to use when balancing users across mailbox
databases. One of the simplest methods is to use the first initial of the user ??™ s last name to categorize the
user into a group that covers a set range of initials, for example the last name ??? Adams ??? would
correspond to the group ??? A ??? through ??? F ??? . The group would then correspond to a mailbox database
where that group ??™ s mailboxes are to be created.
The administrator could then disperse all new mailboxes based on a pattern that guarantees an even
distribution, as long as the groups of initials correspond to the even distribution of users across the
organization. For the example script bulk-newmailbox.
