Using a PowerShell script to create MailStore users from a csv file

If you need to import a large list of users into MailStore but cannot use one of the User Directory Services you may think the only option is to add each user one by one through the MailStore Client interface. 

To help speed up this process you can use the PowerShell script available below to batch this operation by creating a pre-formatted CSV file with a list of users and their credentials. Running the PowerShell script will create users automatically in MailStore.

Steps:
  1. Download the attached Zip file  'Powershell script to import users from csv.zip'
  2. Extract it onto the MailStore Server into a folder called C:\zen
  3. Edit the included Users.csv file to reflect the permissions needed
  4. Edit the Powershell script  'Create MailStore Users from csv.ps1' and change the $adminpasswd to match the password you use for the default admin account in MailStore.
  5. run the Powershell script  'Create MailStore Users from csv.ps1'
