Things are working as long as I send the email from a machine with the Exchange client setup in the voice domain, it doesn't work from my desk which uses a different domain. I am going to talk to the mail admin about that and see if this is something he can change to route the mail to the voice domain on his side.
One question I have is, when I run the script and it creates the user in AD, I still have to manually go in and right click on the new user that was created and enable it....is there a way to do this automatically through the script?
