    .SYNOPSIS
    Create Exchange mailboxes for users with no mailbox contained within an OU tree.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Create Exchange mailboxes for users with no mailbox contained within an OU tree.
 
    This script will:
     
    Create mailboxes for users contained witin an OU tree.
    You can configure the database and retention policy to use.
    Output and e-mail a log file.
 
    This script is designed to be run locally on an Exchange Server.
 
    Please note: to send a log file using ssl and an SMTP password you must generate an encrypted
    password file. The password file is unique to both the user and machine.
     
    The command is as follows:
 
    $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. If you do not configure a Database, the smallest database will be used.
 
    .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 Subject
    The email subject that the email should have. Encapulate with single or double quotes.
 
    .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
    The user account to connect to the SMTP server.
 
    .PARAMETER Pwd
    The txt file containing the encrypted password for the user account.
 
    .PARAMETER UseSsl
    Connect to the SMTP server using SSL.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Create-Mailboxes.ps1 -Ou "OU=NewUsers,OU=Dept,DC=contoso,DC=com" -Datab "Mail DB 2" -Rp "1-Month-Deleted-Items" -L C:\scripts\logs -Subject 'Server: Created Mailboxes' -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".
    If you do not configure a Database, the smallest database will be used.
    A log will be output to C:\scripts\logs and e-mailed with a custom subject line, using a secure connection.
 
    The powershell code to get the smallest database is by Jason Sherry: https://blog.jasonsherry.net/2012/03/25/script_smallest_db/.
