Trying to add contacts with more than one email address
Dayrak Ahmadipour
Hello All,
I run the following script to add external email addresses to distribution group in exchange 2013:
Import-CSV C:\A.csv | ForEach {Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "B" -Member $_.Name}
The CSV file is based on name.
Error message:
- There are multiple recipients matching the identity "X Y". Please specify a unique value.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-DistributionGroupMember], ManagementObjectAmbiguousException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=xxx,RequestId=xxx,TimeStamp=26/02/2019 10:1
7:54 PM] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-ManagementObjectAmbiguousException] 1018D273,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Recipi
entTasks.AddDistributionGroupMember
+ PSComputerName : xxx
OR
- The recipient "Z Y” is already a member of the group "xxx".
How is that possible to add contacts per their email addresses?
Kind regards,
Dayrak

I’d never done this but I thought it was an interesting question so I found out.
To add one external contact, I had to do this:
- Create a Contact object in AD with the person’s name, then add his email address.
- Add the contact to the group like this: Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "foo group" -Members "john wright"
The question after that is how to convert the CSV rows to contact objects.
This command works:
New-ADObject -type contact -path 'ou=foo,DC=subdomain,DC=domain,DC=root-Name "John Wright" -OtherAttributes @{'mail'="m...@something.com"}
So I think you’ll want a couple of routines. One to feed the CSV to the new-adobject command and create the contact objects. Then a second routine to use the CSV again to select those objects and add them to the distribution groups.

Hello John,
Thanks for your response.
I did the following steps:
· Import-Csv C:\ExternalContacts.csv|%{New-MailContact -Name $_.Name -DisplayName $_.Name -ExternalEmailAddress $_.ExternalEmailAddress -FirstName $_.FirstName -LastName $_.LastName}
CSV file was based on ( ExternalEmailAddress,DisplayName,FirstName and Lastname)
· Import-CSV C:\AddToGroup.csv | ForEach {Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "DG" -Member $_.Alias}
CSV file had just one column name Alias.
Kind regards,
Dayrak
