Script Help Needed for Mailbox Automation - Ex2016 Hybrid

Question

Hello Techies.

in my environments, i have created two script to enable the mailboxes on both exchange on-prem servers and off365 mailboxes (Remote Mailboxes) . It is running in schedule task for every one hour

Below are the sample for on-prem

Get-User -OrganizationalUnit E2K16MBX | Where-Object {$.recipientType -eq "user" -and $.Company -eq "cloudnine"} | Enable-Mailbox -Database "DB01EX01"

Below are the sample to create remote Mailbox

$Users = Get-User -OrganizationalUnit Off365mbx | Where-Object {$.recipientType -eq "user" -and $.WindowsEmailAddress -like "$null" }
$users | % {Enable-RemoteMailbox -Identity $_ -RemoteRoutingAddress((($_.UserPrincipalName.split("@")[0])) +"@CloudNine .mail.onmicrosoft.com")}

i would like to create a single script to enable or to function the above needs. also there are scenario's where application mailboxes should not be create any type mailboxes either on-prem servers or Off365 mailboxes

meaning some exception to create any mailboxes in the OU's

You could put them into one script directly, they will be run in order. Such as:

Get-User -OrganizationalUnit E2K16MBX | Where-Object {$.recipientType -eq "user" -and $.Company -eq "cloudnine"} | Enable-Mailbox -Database "DB01EX01"            
$Users = Get-User -OrganizationalUnit Off365mbx | Where-Object {$.recipientType -eq "user" -and $.WindowsEmailAddress -like "$null" }  
$users | % {Enable-RemoteMailbox -Identity $ -RemoteRoutingAddress((($.UserPrincipalName.split("@")[0])) +"@cloudnine.mail.onmicrosoft.com")}  

also there are scenario's where application mailboxes should not be create any type mailboxes either on-prem servers or Off365 mailboxes

About this one, you could set a value for those application mailboxes, such as set the value of Department as "Application", then you will could use this value to exclude these mailboxes:

Get-User -OrganizationalUnit ToOnline | Where-Object {$_.recipientType -eq "user" -and $_.Department -ne "Application"}

hi, Can you amend this script as it should send us report with successfully enabled remote mailbox.

Also, it should send report with errors?
