How can I script the adding of additional mailboxes to a users account in Outlook

I want to push out some additional mailboxes (users given access to them via
AD/Exchange) to users at login. Normally either the user or support staff
would have to locally add each mailbox to the users settings in Outlook.
That's nowhere near ideal.

Can this be accomplished via some type of scripting?

Try http://www.slipstick.com There's a ton of VBA there which could be converted to VBS if required.

I'm sure that you could grab code from the various examples here and come up with something.

Owen, nice site but I think it's of dubious value to the OP, as the only Outlook script is for creating Public folders, plus it requires the installation and learning of PowerShell.

Google is your friend.

http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail_print.aspx?id=775

This page references some code, including this: "Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder. For non-default folders, you can only work with calendars for mailboxes visible in the Folder List, by walking the folder hierarchy starting at Namespace.Folders"

No specific code to add a mailbox but it looks like this would do it.

Er, exactly. What about http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=4&messageid=11835? Probably *not* what you wanted to hear but...
