Identifing users

Post by Johnnyc23 »

I am looking to run a powershell script using a cv file. Does anyone know how to match users by email address instead of the Display name? We have many identical display names, the users have different email addresses.

Hi Johnnyc23,

First: Welcome to the forums!
Second: If I understand it correctly, you want to use a CSV file, run a powershell script and add those users in a job or something like that? The good news is that our version 3 has been enhanced for that specific reason. So you can now add users based on certain criteria, and email address is one of them

yes looking to add the users to a job. from the documentation for the back the command is Get-VBOOrganizationUser and Get-VEXmailbox which seems to only work with a display name. Am I missing something?

Is your goal to get the data out of the backup or are you talking about the creation of the job?

When you run Get-VBOOrganizationUser there are 2 options:
DisplayName
UserName (which is the e-mail address)
