Hello there,

Does someone knows any script to add a new email account to all the users in
the active directory?

Scenario
---------

Around 500 users in the active directory with an smtp email address created
in the following way: name.sirname@potepille.co.uk. In June our domain
changes so I need to start changing all the users emails addresses.

What is needed
----------------

I need to add another smtp email address which keeps the name and sirname,
but modifies the domain: name.sirname@pote.co.uk

I just want to add a new email address without deleting or modifying the one
which already exist, but I will like this new address to become the defualt
email address.

Bonus if achieved
------------------

A script which deletes the old email address from every user, but leaves the
new email address.

I am really new in scripting, but I am slowly getting there. If someone
could help me out or refer me somewhere will be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Fernando.
