    $creds = Get-Credential
    $creds.Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Set-Content c:\foo\ps-script-pwd.txt
     
    .PARAMETER Ou
    The AD Organisational Unit (including child OUs) that contains the users to create Exchange Mailboxes for.
 
    .PARAMETER Datab
    The Exchange database to create the mailboxes in.
 
    .PARAMETER Rp
    The retention policy that should be applied to the users.
     
    .PARAMETER Compat
    Use this switch if you are using Exchange 2010.
 
    .PARAMETER L
    The path to output the log file to.
    The file name will be "Create-Mailboxes.log"
     
    .PARAMETER SendTo
    The e-mail address the log should be sent to.
 
    .PARAMETER From
    The from address the log should be sent from.
 
    .PARAMETER Smtp
    The DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server.
 
    .PARAMETER User

    .PARAMETER Pwd
    The password for the user account.
 
    .PARAMETER UseSsl

    .EXAMPLE
    Create-Mailboxes.ps1 -Ou "OU=NewUsers,OU=Dept,DC=contoso,DC=com" -Datab "Mail DB 2" -Rp "1-Month-Deleted-Items" -L E:\scripts -Sendto me@contoso.com -From Exch01@contoso.com -Smtp smtp.live.com -User Exch01@contoso.com -Pwd P@ssw0rd -UseSsl
 
    This will create mailboxes for users that do not already have one in the OU NewUsers and all child OUs.
    It will create the mailbox using Mail DB 2 and apply the retention policy "1-Month-Deleted-Items".
    A log will be output to E:\scripts and e-mail using a secure connection.
