| Nov 12, 2014 at 16:45 | comment | added | Scubacode | I have not found any way yet to either include that in the first step where I create the users or add a second step where all 5002 users get an updated email address either via PS script or a console app | |
| Nov 12, 2014 at 16:45 | comment | added | Scubacode | Well, technically I suppose I could have rather asked two questions. But yes, if all 5002 users appear as SP users the first half would be complete. The second half of the question regarding the WorkEmail - yes, it can be updated once the user has a profile, but up until now the only way to do that is by manually going into each profile, choosing edit and then adding the new custom WorkEmail address. | |
| Nov 12, 2014 at 15:06 | comment | added | Matthew McDermott | OK, but work email is on the user profile, which is created after you create the users in Azure AD. Once you create the users and then create the user profiles, isn't your test complete? You can update the user profiles WorkEmail property after you have user profiles. | |
| Nov 12, 2014 at 13:00 | comment | added | Scubacode | Up till now I couldn't find anything to loop the above command, although I was looking for "loop through CSV/ Excel list of users", which is where I have my test users. The work email is for testing purposes, it is the only field that accepts gmail.com and doesn't insist on the tenant.onmicrosoft.com - I'm using gmail with aliases so all users email come to one inbox but addressed to different people. I find it easier to oversee it that way. | |

Updated with loop.

| Nov 12, 2014 at 10:52 | comment | added | Scubacode | I'm sorry but I don't see how this answers my question. I know that the user name must be [email protected] but for the alternate email address it also only accepts tenant.onmicrosoft.com unless I have another registered domain, which gmail is not my domain. Work email accepts the gmail.com address. Also, to my knowledge, the New-MsolUser cmdlet only does one user at a time and does not accept the WorkEmail parameter | |
