Exchange 2013 allows administrators to script Mail Contact creation and email enable those contacts. Let’s say you want to create a contact named Charles Edge and configure an External Email Address of cedge@318.com and set the Organization Unit to Enginnering. Well, that would look something a little like this: New-MailContact -Name "Charles Edge" -ExternalEmailAddress "cedge@318.com" -OrganizationalUnit "Engineering" And if you’ve never spent much time in Minnesota, the acronym for Database Availability Group is DAG. Just pronounce the A with an AE sound about 20 times and you’ll understand how awesome it can be. 🙂
